Xeriant Takes Significant Steps Advancing Production of NEXBOARD™ Green Building Material

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) (“Xeriant” or “the Company”), a Company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of aerospace technologies and advanced materials, today provides an update regarding initiatives toward industrial-scale manufacturing of its patent-pending NEXBOARD™ green building material. The Company has begun to implement its production strategy by making investments in equipment and input components, performing testing on pilot production samples, refining the composite mix of input materials, and furthering industry relationships.

Since last week’s announcement, Xeriant has made the following important progress:

• Provided funding for deposit on proprietary, custom-made production equipment needed to launch manufacturing operations and meet expectations and timelines of major homebuilders
  
• Advanced payment for engineering and design services to enable the manufacturing of NEXBOARD panels in standard dimensions as a substitute for drywall or plywood
  
• Conducted internal testing and found NEXBOARD pilot production samples performed well with flame burn-through and spread, and determined composite mix adjustments to improve fastener pull-through resistance
  
• Refined processing of base materials to ensure NEXBOARD pilot production samples meet the required properties and mechanical performance set by major homebuilders
  
• Scheduled second pilot production run for the coming week with the aforementioned adjustments to the composite mix
  
• Apprised major homebuilders on recent accomplishments toward scaling up production of NEXBOARD, and received very positive responses
  
• Established relationships with suppliers of various high-strength, sustainable fiber-reinforcing materials which will be used to improve the tensile properties of NEXBOARD for use in support and framing applications in construction
  

“We are pleased with the steps we have taken to move NEXBOARD’s manufacturing forward,” stated Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant. “Over the next two weeks we plan to supply sample boards to the leading homebuilders we have already been working with for their testing to close on long-term supply agreements."
