The global push for safer, more sustainable and higher-performance materials is reshaping industries ranging from construction and infrastructure to transportation, industrial manufacturing and aerospace. As regulators and end users alike demand solutions that reduce environmental impact while improving fire resistance, durability and resilience, NEXBOARD(TM) technology has emerged as a promising response. Developed by Xeriant (OTCQB: XERI), the eco-friendly composite panel is designed not only to replace conventional building materials, such as drywall and wood, but also to support a wider range of applications where advanced performance and sustainability are increasingly essential.
NEXBOARD is a patent-pending composite construction panel designed to deliver enhanced performance across multiple criteria important to builders and sustainability advocates alike. Constructed primarily from recycled plastic and fiber waste, the panel integrates nanotechnology to achieve exceptional resistance to fire, water, mold, insects, cracking and abrasion, which are properties often lacking in traditional wall and partition materials. Its design also aligns with circular economy principles and supports green building certifications, positioning NEXBOARD as a potential replacement for materials that contribute to higher resource consumption and carbon emissions in the built environment.
Earlier this year, internal laboratory testing showcased NEXBOARD’s remarkable fire resistance capabilities. In May, Xeriant announced that NEXBOARD’s nanotechnology successfully resisted temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 80 minutes during an internal lab test, demonstrating its flame-retardant system’s robustness. These results not only validated the panel’s safety performance but also marked a pivotal step toward formal certification and subsequent production scaling.
The spring and early summer also brought demonstrations of NEXBOARD’s performance in comparative contexts. Xeriant shared visual content that exhibited the technology’s fire-resistant properties under extreme conditions, reinforcing the panel’s ability to withstand high temperatures and prevent flame spread, key features for meeting building codes and safety standards. The demonstrations helped illustrate the material’s advantages over traditional construction materials, including plywood, drywall and cement board, which often fail under similar stress.
Production milestones for NEXBOARD occurred throughout the late summer and early fall, reflecting the company’s strategic push toward certification and market readiness. In early September, Xeriant announced the successful completion of a production run of NEXBOARD panels at one of its contract manufacturing facilities.
Following that production run, Xeriant completed a limited September production run specifically designed to trigger the formal certification process. Representatives from an accredited testing agency were present during this run to document quality control and manufacturing procedures, underscoring the company’s focus on meeting rigorous standards.
“The batch we ran last week showed that NEXBOARD can be made at scale and at the highest standards of quality and uniformity, which are critical accomplishments as we ramp up production,” reported Xeriant CEO Keith Duffy. “The next step is to complete the certification tests themselves, which are being scheduled at the lab.” By working with experienced manufacturers, Xeriant aims to streamline production processes, reduce cycle times and control costs, helping position NEXBOARD as a cost-effective alternative in the construction materials marketplace.
In addition to starting certification, the company provided samples of NEXBOARD to prospective clients within the construction industry, including builders, materials specifiers and suppliers seeking sustainable and high-performance solutions. According to company leadership, this production batch demonstrated that NEXBOARD panels could be manufactured at scale with high standards of uniformity and quality, both of which are essential for long-term commercial adoption.
As of late 2025, Xeriant continued to move toward certification completion, with internal testing of samples from these recent production runs showing continued promising fire resistance and other performance attributes. This progress toward formal approval represents a major focus for the company, as certification is a necessary precursor to broader commercial use and acceptance in both national and international markets. The broader construction materials market, particularly segments emphasizing sustainability, modularity and resilience, is substantial, and innovations such as NEXBOARD could play a meaningful role in meeting global industry needs.
Beyond technical and production achievements, Xeriant’s ability to advance NEXBOARD reflects its broader strategy of developing transformative materials that address contemporary industry challenges. By aligning the product’s design with stringent building codes and sustainability objectives, the company aims to capture interest from builders, developers, specifiers and suppliers focused on high-performance construction solutions. The emphasis on eco-friendly components, recycled content and nanotechnology situates NEXBOARD within broader trends toward sustainable development and materials innovation.
NEXBOARD represents a notable innovation in eco-friendly construction materials, blending performance, safety and sustainability in a panel designed to compete with entrenched traditional building products. Over the past year, Xeriant has progressed from internal performance testing to initial production runs and the initiation of formal certification processes, marking meaningful advancements toward commercial readiness. As the certification and adoption pathways continue to progress, NEXBOARD could become a compelling option for builders and developers seeking durable, sustainable alternatives in a market increasingly focused on resilience and environmental impact reduction.
