Xeriant Reports Independent Third-Party Testing Results Demonstrating Nexboard Outperforms Traditional Building Materials Xeriant reported additional testing results from an independent laboratory, demonstrating that its 3/8-inch NEXBOARD eco-composite construction panel significantly outperforms traditional building materials, including drywall, MgO board, OSB, MDF and plywood, across multiple critical performance categories. NEXBOARD, through its proprietary Durazite fire retardant technology, achieved a Class A fire rating under ASTM E84 while also passing the rigorous NFPA 286 full-room corner burn test, a key requirement for commercial and institutional fire code compliance. The latest series of tests analyzing mechanical and physical properties showed superior results in impact resistance, tensile strength, and water absorption with low VOC’s and a competitive R-Value or insulative capacity. Another significant advantage is NEXBOARD’s sustainability profile, featuring post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content, end-of-life recyclability through standard streams, and zero hazardous disposal concerns or formaldehyde off-gassing. Marketed under the DUREVER line of next-generation building materials, NEXBOARD is manufactured primarily from recycled plastic and fiber waste, along with its proprietary nanotechnology-enhanced fire-retardant formulation called Durazite, and is engineered for full recyclability at end of life. Its low water absorption and superior fire safety performance directly support reduced risk of water damage, mold growth, and structural failure, factors that can positively impact building insurance considerations. The product’s environmental profile should qualify it for contributions under major green building programs including LEED and GREENGUARD. Announcement • Jun 22
Xeriant Sets Up Next Production Run of Nexboard Following Class A Fire Rating and Nfpa 286 Fire Testing Certification Xeriant announced an upcoming production run of its patented NEXBOARD eco-friendly composite building panels which are marketed under the DUREVER line of next-generation building materials. This production campaign follows the Company’s successful third-party fire testing and certification and is intended to fulfill sample requests from multiple homebuilders and commercial construction firms. Xeriant recently announced that NEXBOARD achieved a Class A rating under ASTM E84 for flame spread and smoke development, and NFPA 286 certification following the successful passing of the rigorous corner room burn test. The current production run will provide NEXBOARD panels for delivery to homebuilders and commercial contractors who have requested samples for evaluation, internal testing, and demonstration purposes. NEXBOARD is a composite construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste, and Xeriant’s proprietary fire-retardant technology. It is engineered as a highly durable replacement for drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board, delivering superior fire resistance, moisture protection, and environmental benefits. NEXPATCH, Xeriant’s professional-grade finishing and repair compound, which delivers exceptional fire and water resistance, is also under the DUREVER line. Announcement • Jun 15
Xeriant Announces NexBoard Passes NFPA 286 Certification Test Xeriant announced that its NexBoard fire-resistant eco-friendly construction panel has passed the NFPA 286 corner room fire test, representing one of the most significant fire safety and commercialization milestones achieved by the product to date. Widely regarded as one of the construction industry's most rigorous fire performance tests, the NFPA 286 is an internationally recognized standard for evaluating the contribution of wall and ceiling interior finishes to room fire growth. The test is designed to simulate how materials will perform under realistic room-fire conditions and measure flame propagation, heat release, smoke development, and the potential for flashover, providing critical data used by building code officials, architects, engineers, developers, insurers, and regulators when assessing materials for interior wall and ceiling applications. The successful completion of NFPA 286 certification testing builds upon NexBoard's previously announced ASTM E84 certification test, where the product earned a Class A fire rating, the highest classification available under the standard, demonstrating no combustion and no smoke generation during testing. NFPA 286 certification is a critical component of NexBoard's regulatory compliance roadmap and represents a major advancement toward finalizing contracts for building industry customers awaiting third party validation. The technology behind NexBoard is also expected to generate opportunities in other industries requiring increasingly stringent fire safety. During the NFPA 286 testing process, the Company also utilized NexPatch, NexBoard’s companion joint compound, which performed exactly as designed. The patching material demonstrated exceptional bonding and fire resistance, with no signs of cracking or peeling. NexBoard, the flagship of Xeriant’s DUREVER line of next-generation building materials, is engineered as a replacement for drywall, MgO board and other construction panels. In addition to its exceptional fire-resistant properties, the product was developed to resist water intrusion, mold growth, insect damage, and environmental degradation, making it well suited for modern construction applications including modular housing, multifamily developments, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and disaster-resilient structures. Increasing concerns surrounding wildfire exposure, insurance costs, building resilience, and evolving construction standards continue to create significant demand for advanced building materials capable of delivering superior performance without compromising cost-effectiveness or ease of installation.
