BOCA RATON, Fla., May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI), a company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of transformative technologies, today announced the launch of NexPatch™, a proprietary fire-resistant joint compound developed specifically for use with its flagship NEXBOARD™ composite construction panels.
NexPatch is formulated with Xeriant’s advanced intumescent fire-retardant chemistry (the same proprietary nanotechnology used in NEXBOARD).
When applied to joints, seams, or repair areas, it activates under heat to form a protective char barrier, delivering the same exceptional fire performance as the surrounding NEXBOARD panels. The product produces no combustion and no smoke during the Company’s internal testing under extreme temperatures, ensuring continuous fire resistance across an entire NEXBOARD wall or ceiling assembly.
“NexPatch completes the NEXBOARD system,” said Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant. “Builders and contractors can now achieve a fully fire-rated, monolithic surface with professional-grade finishing and repair capability while maintaining the superior fire, water, and mold resistance that NEXBOARD is known for. This is a game-changing addition that makes NEXBOARD even more practical and attractive for commercial, multifamily, hospitality, and residential projects.”
NexPatch is easy to apply, sands smoothly, and resists cracking and shrinkage. Although it was designed for NEXBOARD, it may also be used for drywall, and many other materials. It is ideal for:
- Finishing butt joints and seams between NEXBOARD panels
- Repairing cuts, holes, or damage while preserving full fire protection
- Creating seamless transitions in fire-rated assemblies
The launch of NexPatch follows Xeriant’s recent successful internal corner-burn testing and progress toward full third-party NFPA 286 and ASTM E84 certification for NEXBOARD.
“By extending our proprietary fire-retardant formula into a companion joint compound, we have eliminated one of the last remaining weak points in fire-rated wall systems,” added Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt (ret.), President of Xeriant’s Factor X Research Group. “NexPatch ensures that the fire performance of the panel itself carries through to every joint and repair.”
NexPatch will be available for sampling and offered alongside NEXBOARD as part of Xeriant’s DUREVER™ advanced materials platform. NexPatch will be third party tested and joint system fire rated.
