Xeriant, Inc. released videos from last week's test sample production run demonstrating the strength and fire resistance of NEXBOARD, a high-performance, green composite building panel made primarily from plastic and cellular fiber waste materials, such as cardboard. The latest sample boards will be directed to testing agencies for independent certifications and to major homebuilders and construction companies who are interested in transitioning to NEXBOARD, which is a critical step toward finalizing sales agreements. Homebuilders and the construction industry are migrating toward green building materials that promote a circular economic model, a trend that is forecasted to accelerate as viable alternative products become available.

Two of the leading materials testing agencies were engaged last week to perform a variety of industry-standard physical and mechanical tests, including the NFPA 286 "room corner" test. The YouTube videos show two internal tests, a five-minute flame test and a fastener pull-through test, using the most recent NEXBOARD samples. The videos may be found using the following links: Fire resistance - estimated 2,000oF torch at about 12 inches for 5 minutes; Fastener pull-through test - drywall screw holding strength in pounds of pressure.
