Notes to Editors:
Accsys Technologies
PLC ( www.accsysplc.com
) is an environmental science and technology
company whose primary focus is on the production of
Accoya® wood and technology licensing via its
100% owned subsidiary, Titan Wood Limited (trading as Accsys
Technologies), which has manufacturing operations in Arnhem,
the Netherlands, a European office in Windsor and an American
office in Dallas, Texas. Accsys Technologies PLC is listed on
the London Stock Exchange AIM market, and on Euronext
Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext, under the symbols
'AXS'. Accsys' operations comprise three
principal business units: (i) the Accoya® wood
production facility; (ii) technology development, focused on
a programme of continuous development and improvements to the
process engineering and operating protocols for the
acetylation of wood which are currently under
4
development and the development of technology for the
acetylation of wood elements; and (iii) the licensing of
technology for the production of Accoya® wood
and Tricoya® wood elements across the globe.
Wood Acetylation is a process which increases the
amount of 'acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby
changing its physical properties. The process protects wood
from rot by making it "inedible" to most
micro-organisms and fungi, without - unlike conventional
treatments - making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the
wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less
prone to cracking and ensuring that, when painted, it
requires dramatically reduced maintenance.
Accoya® wood (www.accoya.com ) is
produced using Accsys' proprietary patented process, that
effectively converts sustainably grown softwoods and
non-durable hardwoods into what is best described as a
"high technology wood". Distinguished by its
durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most
importantly of all, its reliability (in terms of consistency
of both supply and quality), Accoya® wood is
particularly suited to exterior applications where
performance and appearance are valued. Unlike most tropical
and temperate hardwoods, its colour does not degrade when
exposed to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the
Accoya® wood production process does not
compromise the wood's strength or machinability. The
combination of UV resistance, dimensional stability,
durability and retained strength means that
Accoya® wood offers a wealth of new
opportunities to architects, designers and specifiers. For
marine uses where weight is also important,
Accoya® wood for the first time provides boat
builders with a wood that is strong, lightweight, durable and
retains its natural beauty for far longer. For a full archive
of Accoya® news, visit
www.accoya.com/news.asp.
Tricoya ® Wood Elements
( www.tricoya.com )
are produced using Accsys' proprietary technology for the
acetylation of wood chips and particles and are used in the
fabrication of wood based composites, including panel
products. These composites demonstrate enhanced durability
and dimensional stability which allow them to be used in a
variety of applications that were once limited to solid wood
or man-made products. Tricoya® Wood Elements are
lauded as the first major innovation in the wood composites
industry in more than 30 years.
