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 how wall and ceiling materials perform under realistic fire conditions. The certification measures factors including flame spread, heat release, smoke development, and flashover potential. It is commonly used by building code officials, architects, engineers, and insurers when assessing construction materials.
The 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. Xeriant noted that the certification advances efforts to finalize contracts with building industry customers and supports the 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.
Xeriant's advanced materials line, marketed under the DUREVER brand, includes NexBoard, 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 company is dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of transformative technologies that can be integrated and deployed across multiple industrial sectors.
With the NFPA 286 certification, NexBoard demonstrates its ability to meet stringent fire safety requirements, which is critical for gaining approval from building code officials and insurance companies. This milestone could accelerate the adoption of NexBoard in construction projects that prioritize fire resilience, potentially positioning Xeriant as a key player in the sustainable building materials market.
