Xeriant partners with TMF Corporation for NEXBOARD™ test production

9 March 2023

Xeriant, Inc. a Company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of advanced materials and aerospace technologies, announces 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.

“As an experienced manufacturer of FM Approved plastic products, we are thrilled to be supporting Xeriant’s new product development. The feedstock required for the production of NEXBOARD™ fits right into our wheelhouse and we’re proud to be associated with a product that could have such far-reaching impact on the global environment,” stated Tom Fitzgerald, Sr., CEO of TMF Corporation.

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.

“TMF Corporation is one of our valued strategic investors and we’re excited to finally collaborate to unlock their capabilities as we set out to begin the manufacturing of NEXBOARD™,” said Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant.
