Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that its NexBoard fire-resistant construction panel has achieved a Class A fire rating in ASTM E84 certification testing, the highest classification available under the widely recognized industry standard for evaluating flame spread and smoke development in building materials. The certification validates years of product development and represents a key milestone in advancing NexBoard as an alternative to traditional drywall and other construction panels.
Management said the certification is expected to support commercialization efforts and help convert a backlog of potential customers that have been awaiting third-party validation before moving toward purchase orders. In addition to fire resistance, NexBoard is designed to provide protection against water, mold, insects and environmental degradation, targeting applications in conventional, modular and prefabricated construction.
The Class A rating is significant because it indicates that the material has the lowest flame spread and smoke development, making it suitable for use in buildings where fire safety is paramount. This certification could open doors for NexBoard in commercial and residential construction markets, where building codes often require materials with high fire resistance.
Xeriant is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative technologies, including advanced materials, which can be successfully integrated and deployed across multiple industrial sectors. The company’s advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER brand, and includes NexBoard, an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, MgO board and other materials used in construction.
