Xeriant, Inc. announced a manufacturing partnership to facilitate the production of eco-friendly, flame retardant-infused recycled plastic used in NEXBOARD™ panels. NEXBOARD™ is a flame-, water-, mold- and insect-resistant building panel set to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF and MgO board for new and retrofit construction. The Xeriant team has been researching methods to streamline the production process and enhance the characteristics and quality of NEXBOARD™ using different eco-friendly flame-retardants.

To help accomplish this mission, Xeriant has formed a partnership with TMF Corporation, a 35-year-old manufacturer of FM Approved plastic industrial products. TMF Corporation will agglomerate post-industrial plastic waste and densify it along with four different eco-friendly flame-retardants to produce pellets used in the manufacturing of NEXBOARD™ panels for testing purposes.
