Xeriant Working with Strategic and High-Volume Manufacturing Partners to Accelerate NexBoard® Commercialization and Distribution

(OTCQB:XERI) Xeriant, Inc. provided an update on NexBoard® production. The company continues to work with multiple contract manufacturers and potential strategic production and distribution partners to accelerate the commercialization of NexBoard, which is described as the company’s eco-friendly Universal Construction Panel™. Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant, stated that scaling up NexBoard production to meet demand is a positive challenge and emphasized the importance of these relationships for meeting current demand for hundreds of millions of square feet per year. Xeriant is working to transition from limited production runs of NexBoard for customer evaluation to consistent, cost-effective manufacturing at substantially greater volumes. The company’s efforts include establishing relationships with production partners and potentially multibillion-dollar companies with established manufacturing infrastructure and distribution networks, both domestically and internationally. Duffy noted that working with large manufacturing partners requires accommodating established production schedules and that negotiations with multinational strategic partners have been complex to ensure protection of Xeriant’s intellectual property. NexBoard is positioned as a Universal Construction Panel designed to provide an affordable, eco-friendly, all-purpose replacement for traditional building materials such as drywall, plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and magnesium oxide (MgO) board across qualified applications. NexBoard combines recycled plastic and fiber waste with proprietary Durazite™ fire-protection technology to achieve exceptional fire, moisture, mold, and mechanical performance, enabling it to be used in place of several specialized boards. Xeriant’s advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER™ brand and includes NexBoard™ and NexPatch™, a companion fire-resistant joint compound.

The company’s advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER™ brand and includes NexBoard™ and NexPatch™.

Xeriant Sets Up Next Production Run of NEXBOARD™ Following Class A Fire Rating and NFPA 286 Fire Testing Certification

(OTCQB: XERI) Xeriant, Inc. announced an upcoming production run of its patented NEXBOARD™ eco-friendly composite building panels, marketed under the DUREVER™ line of next-generation building materials. The production campaign follows the Company’s successful third-party fire testing and certification, including achieving a Class A rating under ASTM E84 for flame spread and smoke development, and NFPA 286 certification. The current production run is intended to fulfill sample requests from multiple leading homebuilders and commercial construction firms. NEXBOARD is a composite construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste, engineered as a highly durable replacement for drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board. NEXPATCH™, Xeriant’s professional-grade finishing and repair compound, is also under the DUREVER line and delivers exceptional fire and water resistance. The company projects that the strong interest from builders, contractors, and potential strategic partners, combined with recent successful third-party fire testing certification results, is expected to generate significant demand for NEXBOARD. Several organizations have been engaged with Xeriant over the past several years and are now positioned to enter into more advanced discussions on placing orders.

Xeriant's NexBoard™ Successfully Passes Rigorous NFPA 286 Certification Test in Major Step Toward Commercialization

(OTCQB: XERI) Xeriant, Inc. announced that its NexBoard™ fire-resistant eco-friendly construction panel has passed the NFPA 286 corner room fire test, which is described as one of the most significant fire safety and commercialization milestones achieved by the product to date. The NFPA 286 is characterized as one of the construction industry's most rigorous fire performance tests and is an internationally recognized standard for evaluating the contribution of wall and ceiling interior finishes to room fire growth. NexBoard previously earned a Class A fire rating under the ASTM E84 certification test, demonstrating no combustion and no smoke generation during testing. During the NFPA 286 testing process, the Company also utilized NexPatch™, NexBoard’s companion joint compound, which performed exactly as designed, demonstrating exceptional bonding and fire resistance, with no signs of cracking or peeling. NexBoard is engineered as a replacement for drywall, MgO board and other construction panels, and is developed to resist water intrusion, mold growth, insect damage, and environmental degradation. As of 2025, the NFPA has approximately 50,000 members and 10,000 volunteers working with the organization through its 250 technical committees, and publishes more than 300 consensus codes and standards. The company projects that the technology behind NexBoard is also expected to generate opportunities in other industries requiring increasingly stringent fire safety.

Xeriant's NexBoard Achieves ASTM E84 Class A Fire Rating, the Highest Rating Possible for Fire Protection

(OTCQB: XERI) Xeriant, Inc. announced that its NexBoard™ fire-resistant construction panel has achieved a Class A fire rating based on the ASTM E84 certification testing, the highest classification available under the standard. ASTM E84, commonly referred to as the Steiner Tunnel Test, is one of the construction industry's most stringent and widely recognized standards for evaluating the surface burning characteristics of building materials. The test measures flame spread and smoke development, providing critical performance data used by builders, architects, engineers, regulators and insurers. NexBoard is designed as a next-generation alternative to traditional drywall and other conventional construction panels. The product is engineered to provide resistance to water, mold, insects, and environmental degradation, making it well-suited for modern construction methods, including modular and prefabricated building. The company states that this achievement will help unlock its commercialization backlog that have been awaiting third-party certification and validation before advancing toward purchase orders. The ASTM E84 test is described as a foundational milestone and one of several building materials tests currently underway as part of a comprehensive certification program.
