BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI), dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of disruptive technologies in advanced materials and aerospace, is proud to announce its relationship with a leading U.S.-based compounding facility specializing in lab-scale production and testing of innovative thermoplastic formulations. The highly regarded facility has a 25-year history of consulting expertise in prototyping and testing polymer composites for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace and construction.

The revised NEXBOARD™ composition is aimed at passing the rigorous NFPA 286 fire test, which evaluates the flammability characteristics of interior wall and ceiling finish materials. To improve NEXBOARD's fire resistance properties, several modifications were made to the intumescent system, the components which react to form an insulating char barrier when exposed to heat or fire. The vendor is producing lab scale samples of NEXBOARD to conduct a comprehensive battery of tests scheduled over 40 hours, including the UL-94 vertical burn test, a standard fire resistance test for plastics, and various other tests measuring properties such as thermal expansion, tensile strength, impact resistance and stiffness.
