Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) has been awarded a U.S. patent for its proprietary multilayered fire-resistant polymer composite and manufacturing method, the company announced. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued Patent No. 12,679,047, which protects the core technology behind NEXBOARD, Xeriant's eco-friendly construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste. The patent also strengthens the intellectual property supporting the company's DUREVER advanced materials platform.
The patented multilayered composite design enables more efficient use of non-toxic fire retardants while incorporating recycled materials into the panel core, creating an alternative to traditional building materials such as drywall, plywood, OSB and MgO board. According to Xeriant, the technology has potential applications across construction, aerospace, transportation and energy markets. The company is pursuing additional international patent protection through Patent Cooperation Treaty and continuation applications.
This patent award marks a significant milestone for Xeriant, as it secures the company's innovative approach to combining fire resistance with recycled content. The NEXBOARD panel, which is made from plastic and fiber waste, is designed to replace products like drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, MgO board and other materials used in construction. The new patent covers the multilayered composite design that allows for more effective use of fire retardants without toxic chemicals, addressing both safety and environmental concerns in the building materials industry.
For the construction industry, this development could lead to more sustainable and fire-resistant building materials. The use of recycled plastic and fiber waste in NEXBOARD panels offers a potential reduction in landfill waste and reliance on virgin materials. In aerospace and transportation, the lightweight and fire-resistant properties of the composite could contribute to improved safety and fuel efficiency. The energy sector may also benefit from durable, fire-resistant materials for infrastructure projects.
Xeriant, Inc. is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of transformative technologies, including advanced materials, which can be successfully integrated and deployed across multiple industrial sectors. The company seeks to partner with and acquire strategic interests in visionary companies that accelerate this mission. Xeriant's advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER brand, and includes NEXBOARD, an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel.
