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. The 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.
This patent award marks a significant milestone for Xeriant as it seeks to commercialize NEXBOARD and expand its presence in the building materials industry. The innovative composite addresses two critical challenges: reducing reliance on toxic fire retardants and diverting plastic and fiber waste from landfills. By using recycled materials, NEXBOARD offers a more sustainable option compared to conventional construction panels, which often have high environmental footprints.
The company's DUREVER platform encompasses a range of advanced materials technologies, with NEXBOARD being the first commercial product. Xeriant's strategy involves licensing its patented technologies to manufacturers and partners, potentially generating recurring revenue streams. The patent protection provides a competitive advantage by preventing competitors from replicating the core technology without authorization.
Industry analysts view the patent as a validation of Xeriant's research and development efforts. The construction sector, which accounts for a significant portion of global waste and emissions, is under increasing pressure to adopt greener materials. NEXBOARD's fire-resistant properties could make it attractive for commercial and residential construction, where building codes often mandate fire-rated materials.
Xeriant is also exploring applications beyond construction, including aerospace, where lightweight and fire-resistant composites are in demand, and transportation, where materials must meet stringent safety standards. The company's ability to secure international patents will be crucial for global market access. The patent award comes as Xeriant continues to seek strategic partnerships and funding to scale production.
