Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that its NexBoard fire-resistant construction panel has successfully passed the NFPA 286 corner room fire test, a widely recognized industry standard that evaluates wall and ceiling materials under realistic fire conditions. The certification measures flame spread, heat release, smoke development and flashover potential, and is commonly used by building code officials, architects, engineers and insurers when assessing construction materials. This achievement builds on NexBoard's previously announced ASTM E84 Class A fire rating and represents a key milestone in its commercialization and regulatory compliance roadmap.
The company said the certification advances efforts to finalize contracts with building industry customers and supports broader adoption of NexBoard and its companion NexPatch joint compound across applications including modular housing, multifamily developments, commercial buildings and other fire-resilient construction projects. The NFPA 286 standard is critical for materials used in non-sprinklered buildings and is often required for code compliance in certain occupancy types.
Xeriant is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative technologies, including advanced materials marketed under the DUREVER brand. NexBoard is 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. The successful test results could differentiate NexBoard in the growing market for sustainable and fire-safe building materials.
For investors, this certification may reduce regulatory hurdles and open doors to larger contracts. The company's newsroom provides updates at https://ibn.fm/XERI.
