BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) (“Xeriant” or “the Company”), a company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of disruptive technologies, primarily in the areas of advanced materials and aerospace, is pleased to announce the recent addition of an accomplished Senior Chemist to its team.
With more than a decade of experience specializing in the development of groundbreaking additives, polymers and coatings, this chemist brings a wealth of expertise to support Xeriant’s ongoing efforts in refining the composite formula for NEXBOARD™, the Company's innovative green construction panel. Their current focus will be to ensure that NEXBOARD™ meets the stringent requirements for testing and certification, including compliance with fire safety standards such as the NFPA 286 corner burn test.
The Company’s chemist has led teams in creating fire retardants and advanced coatings that reduce environmental impact while optimizing product performance. The chemist’s background in formulating eco-friendly flame retardants is particularly well-suited for this phase of Xeriant’s development.
Xeriant first tested the dual-layered NEXBOARD™ in June 2024 using an accredited testing agency. After successfully completing 75% of the demanding NFPA 286 test, the Company used the data to make several key modifications to the product. With the chemist’s expertise in refining the board’s composition and fire resistance, Xeriant is poised to finalize certification and move toward production.
As Xeriant continues working with contract manufacturers to produce boards and scale up its manufacturing capabilities, the demand for certified, eco-friendly construction materials remains strong. Once NEXBOARD™ receives full certification, the Company anticipates the need for significant expansion to meet industry demand.
