Xeriant NEXBOARD™ Update: Finalizing Testing and Setting Up Production

Chemist and composites testing laboratory help to finalize board composition

Contract manufacturer being lined up for production

/EIN News/ -- BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) (“Xeriant” or “the Company”), dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of disruptive technologies in advanced materials and aerospace, provides an update on NEXBOARD™ testing and production. NEXBOARD is an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite green construction panel generally made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to offer a more sustainable and durable alternative to traditional materials like wood and gypsum board which are non-renewable resources or that have a hazardous impact on the environment.

“Following initial fire testing at a national certification laboratory in June, Xeriant engaged a polymer chemist to help refine NEXBOARD’s composition, with a focus on passing the rigorous NFPA 286 test. Leading up to this step were several modifications in the base material and fire-retardant compositions, and finalizing a production method that delivers the highest volume, best quality output at the lowest cost, which involved extensive research and testing over many months. We believe that the additional changes will enable NEXBOARD to meet or surpass the existing code requirements for building materials used for our targeted applications,” stated Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant.

Xeriant is also in the process of setting up large-scale production at a well-established contract manufacturer, which will enable NEXBOARD to be sold in volume near-term. A list of companies are waiting for production to start so they can begin making purchases. In order to meet the vast market demand, Xeriant plans to set up its own manufacturing facilities and has already identified equipment and potential locations for the first site. Meetings have already taken place with a prominent investment bank interested in providing the funding needed for plant and equipment.
