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 company said 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.
The Class A rating is the most stringent level in the ASTM E84 standard, which measures surface burning characteristics of materials. For NexBoard, this 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. According to the company, the certification addresses a critical requirement for building materials used in commercial and residential construction where fire safety is paramount.
NexBoard is an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste. Beyond fire resistance, it is designed to provide protection against water, mold, insects and environmental degradation, targeting applications in conventional, modular and prefabricated construction. The panel aims to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board, offering a sustainable alternative that leverages recycled materials.
Xeriant's advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER brand, which includes NexBoard. The company is dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of transformative technologies across multiple industrial sectors. The Class A fire rating achievement is a significant step toward broader market adoption, as building codes and insurance requirements often mandate high fire performance standards for interior finishes and structural components.
The certification comes at a time when the construction industry is increasingly prioritizing fire safety and sustainability. NexBoard's combination of fire resistance, durability, and eco-friendly composition positions it as a potential game-changer in the building materials market. With third-party validation now in hand, Xeriant anticipates converting its pipeline of interested customers into purchase orders, which could drive revenue growth and market penetration.
