Xeriant, Inc. announces that it has trademarked NEXBOARD as the commercial name for its green Retacell®-based wall panels, which can be used to replace wallboard products made from gypsum and wood, such as drywall, plywood, OSB (oriented strand board) and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) for new and retrofit construction. Xeriant continues to work with several large firms both domestic and international which are testing the Retacell® fire retardant technology in plastics, woods and textiles for various applications. In addition to the Company's recently announced Letter of Intent from Next New Concept to use NEXBOARD in the construction of 35,000 homes, Xeriant is in discussions with several other large residential and commercial builders concerning its NEXBOARD wallboard products.
Retacell® is a biodegradable and nontoxic high-performance thermal- and fire-protection chemical agent that is custom formulated to meet each application's specifications and can be applied as a coating or treatment or infused during manufacturing into a variety of materials, including recycled plastics and wood-based fiber. Retacell®-infused materials are also water repellent.
