Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that its NexBoard fire-resistant construction panel has achieved a Class A fire rating in ASTM E84 certification testing, the highest classification available under the widely recognized industry standard for evaluating flame spread and smoke development in building materials. The company said the certification validates years of product development and represents a key milestone in advancing NexBoard as an alternative to traditional drywall and other construction panels.

Management indicated that the certification is expected to support commercialization efforts and help convert a backlog of potential customers who have been awaiting third-party validation before moving toward purchase orders. In addition to fire resistance, NexBoard is designed to provide protection against water, mold, insects and environmental degradation, targeting applications in conventional, modular and prefabricated construction.
