Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,679,047, covering the company's proprietary multilayered fire-resistant polymer composite and manufacturing method. This patent protects the core technology behind NEXBOARD, the company's eco-friendly construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste, and further strengthens the intellectual property supporting its 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. Xeriant said the technology has potential applications across construction, aerospace, transportation and energy markets, and the company is pursuing additional international patent protection through Patent Cooperation Treaty and continuation applications.
The issuance of this patent is significant for Xeriant as it solidifies the company's competitive position in the advanced materials sector. By securing intellectual property rights for its fire-resistant composite, Xeriant can now move forward with commercializing NEXBOARD and exploring licensing opportunities. The patent also validates the company's approach to combining sustainability with performance, using recycled waste materials to create a product that meets fire safety standards without relying on toxic chemicals.
Xeriant's DUREVER platform, under which NEXBOARD is marketed, aims to disrupt traditional construction materials by offering a lighter, stronger, and more environmentally friendly alternative. The patented technology could reduce the construction industry's reliance on energy-intensive materials like drywall and plywood, while also addressing the growing problem of plastic and fiber waste. According to the company, the multilayered composite design optimizes the distribution of fire retardants, improving efficiency and reducing the overall amount needed, which lowers costs and environmental impact.
Beyond construction, Xeriant sees potential in aerospace, transportation, and energy sectors, where fire-resistant lightweight materials are in high demand. The company is actively seeking partners to develop applications in these industries. The patent also positions Xeriant to attract investment and strategic partnerships, as robust IP protection is often a prerequisite for collaboration with large corporations.
