Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced it has started production of its NexBoard(TM) universal construction panel through a contract manufacturer capable of high-volume output. This move enables the company to fulfill sample requests from homebuilders and commercial construction firms, following independent third-party testing where NexBoard achieved a Class A rating under ASTM E84 and passed the NFPA 286 corner room burn test.
NexBoard is made from recycled plastic and fiber waste and incorporates Xeriant's proprietary Durazite(TM) fire-retardant technology under the DUREVER(TM) brand. Designed for interior walls, ceilings, subflooring, roofing underlayment, and exterior sheathing, it aims to replace traditional materials like drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board.
The initiation of production is a critical step for Xeriant as it transitions from development to commercial viability. By using a contract manufacturer, the company can scale production to meet demand without heavy capital investment. This approach allows Xeriant to provide samples to potential customers, which is essential for gaining traction in the construction industry.
The construction sector is increasingly looking for sustainable and fire-resistant materials. NexBoard's eco-friendly composition, derived from waste, addresses environmental concerns while its fire performance meets stringent building codes. If adopted, NexBoard could offer a competitive alternative to conventional panels, potentially disrupting the market with a product that combines sustainability and safety.
The successful testing and production initiation may also position Xeriant favorably for partnerships or acquisitions, as the company's mission is to discover, develop, and commercialize transformative technologies. The DUREVER brand, under which NexBoard is marketed, represents Xeriant's advanced materials line.
