NEXBOARD’s Nanotechnology Successfully Resists Over 2,000⁰F for Over 80 Minutes in Internal Lab Test

BOCA RATON, Fla., May 28, 2025 (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, announces the successful completion of a rigorous 80-minute internal fire test for NEXBOARD™’s nanotechnology-based fire retardant. The test marks a major milestone in the Company’s path toward commercial production of NEXBOARD, a revolutionary composite panel made primarily from recycled materials.

The 80-minute fire test was conducted under controlled lab conditions and designed to exceed the extreme fire exposure scenarios that interior wall and ceiling panels must endure for certification. The results further confirm the superior performance of Xeriant’s proprietary fire-retardant formulation, which leverages nanotechnology to create a chemically stable, heat-resistant barrier without the use of toxic halogens or heavy metals.

“This impressive burn test not only validates the efficacy of our nano-enhanced fire retardant but also signals a green light for the next phase— NEXBOARD production for certification,” said Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant. “Our team has worked tirelessly to optimize both the safety and sustainability of this breakthrough material. These results bring us significantly closer to delivering a commercially viable solution that addresses the urgent global demand for non-toxic, fire-resistant building products.”

Xeriant’s NEXBOARD is a high-performance eco-friendly construction panel designed to replace traditional wall partitioning products like drywall, OSB, plywood and cement board. In addition to its superior durability against fire, NEXBOARD is resistant to water, mold, insects, cracking and abrasion.

“As fire safety regulations continue to tighten across industries and regions, Xeriant is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable fireproofing technologies,” added Duffy.
