Xeriant, Inc. Completes Internal Fire Testing on NEXBOARD and Advances to Third-Party Certification Phase Xeriant, Inc. had completed its critical phase of internal testing for NEXBOARD™, its advanced composite building panel designed to deliver enhanced fire resistance, durability, and sustainability for modern construction applications. Several months ago, a certification lab documented the manufacturing and quality control processes onsite at NEXBOARD’s contract manufacturer. The next step is the actual fire testing of NEXBOARD at the lab’s Midwest location. Over the past several months fire tests were performed to ensure that NEXBOARD’s fire-resistant performance will pass the rigorous NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 286 corner burn test and the ASTM E84 fire test for flame spread and smoke. The results achieved for fire-resistant performance are very impressive, as a 3,000°F torch was used and no combustion or smoke was achieved, which are key components of these fire tests. As part of internal testing, processes are being refined to ensure efficient scaling of manufacturing without compromising quality. These improvements will streamline mass production, reduce costs, and position the company to meet anticipated demand as commercialization approaches. In the process, valuable knowledge was gained that is believed to translate into applications across other industries. As part of the certification pathway, in-house validation testing is also planned at the research and development facilities of a recognized homebuilder. These initial evaluations are intended to further enhance product performance and ensure readiness for formal certification. NEXBOARD is scheduled to undergo approximately a dozen comprehensive third-party tests performed by the certification testing lab. The certification testing process represents a critical step toward commercial adoption, as it is expected to validate NEXBOARD’s performance against industry standards required for widespread use in residential and commercial construction. NEXBOARD is part of Xeriant’s broader strategy to commercialize next-generation composite materials that address critical challenges in fire safety, structural performance, and sustainability. Successful certification would position the product for integration into large-scale construction projects and potential partnerships with builders, developers, and materials distributors.

Xeriant Receives U.S. Patent Notice Allowance for Its Breakthrough Fire-Resistant Composite Technology Xeriant, Inc. announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for Xeriant’s patent application (Serial No. 18/623,359) covering its proprietary multilayered fire-resistant composite and method of making same. This innovative technology is showcased in NEXBOARD™, Xeriant’s fire- and water-resistant composite wallboard, currently undergoing final internal fire-testing trials prior to certification fire testing. Xeriant completed a manufacturing and quality control certification review several months ago through a nationally recognized certification lab. The allowed patent covers a multilayer composite material engineered to deliver enhanced fire resistance, structural integrity, water resistance, lightweight characteristics, and manufacturing efficiency. The multilayer architecture enables higher concentrations of non-toxic fire retardants in the outer layers while using recycled plastic and cellulose fiber waste in the core, creating a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials such as gypsum drywall, plywood, OSB, and MgO board. The innovation is expected to have broad applications across aerospace, construction, energy, transportation, and other industries where fire safety and lightweight performance are critical. In parallel with the issuance process, Xeriant will be pursuing international patent protection through a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application, which would extend the Company’s ability to seek protection across more than 150 countries. The Company also confirmed that it is preparing a continuation patent application aimed at expanding claim coverage related to the composition of the composite material, further reinforcing its intellectual property portfolio. Additionally, Xeriant continues to advance its brand strategy with pending trademarks for DUREVER™, NEXBOARD™, and Technologies That Define The Future™, aligning its innovation pipeline with distinct commercial identities. This patent milestone underscores Xeriant’s commitment to developing advanced materials solutions designed to meet the evolving demands of safety, sustainability, and performance in high-growth global markets.
