ACCOYA(R) AND TRICOYA(R) RECEIVE PRESTIGOUS AWARDS AND
CERTIFICATION
As recently released on our website, Accsys is pleased to
announce that the innovative products Accoya(R) wood and Tricoya(R)
panel have both won the top awards at this year's Timber Expo held
in late September, the leading UK show in the timber industry. Both
Accoya(R) and Tricoya(R) scooped the show's Supreme Award for
Innovation which recognises products that stand out above all other
innovations at the show, in the eyes of the judges.
The awards, for both Accoya(R) wood and Medite(R) Tricoya(R)
panels, reflects the outstanding levels of performance of stability
and durability produced by Accsys' proprietary wood modification
process.
Also, at the Architecture Expo held in late September in Dublin,
Ireland, Accoya(R) together with Abbey Woods, Accoya(R) distributor
for Ireland, won the Top Irish Architectural award in recognition
of being the "future of wood" by a leading panel of Irish
architects.
Accoya(R) and Abbey Woods then went on to receive the
Architect's Choice Award for the overall winner at the show,
reflecting the outstanding levels of performance, stability and
durability produced by Accsys' proprietary wood modification
process.
The positive news continued into early October as Accoya(R) was
approved as a Durable Wood Preservative Product by the Japan Wood
Protection Association, established in 1974 by the Science Council
of Japan. Accoya(R) is now amongst a very select group of solid
wood products to enjoy such recognition in Japan and is the latest
indication of Accoya(R) 's excellent performance in extremely harsh
conditions.
Accoya(R) has already been used for many purposes in Japan
including a government building project as well as at Japan's
largest theme park. This certification further validates the use of
Accoya(R) in applications such as cladding, decking, flooring,
windows, doors, landscaping, outdoor furniture, structural and many
other purposes.

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(R) wood and technology licensing via its
subsidiary, Titan Wood Limited, which has manufacturing operations
in Arnhem, the Netherlands (through its subsidiary Titan Wood
B.V.), a European office in Windsor, United Kingdom, and an
American office in Dallas, Texas (via its subsidiary Titan Wood,
Inc). All group subsidiaries are ultimately 100% owned by Accsys
and trade as Accsys Technologies. Any references in this
announcement to agreements with Accsys shall mean agreements with
either Accsys or its subsidiary entities unless otherwise
specified. 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) Accoya(R) wood production; (ii)
technology development, focused on a programme of continuous
development of and improvements to the process engineering and
operating protocols for the acetylation of solid wood and the
development of technology for the acetylation of wood elements; and
(iii) the licensing of technology for the production of Accoya(R)
wood and Tricoya(R) wood elements across the globe.
Tricoya(R) Wood Elements (www.tricoya.com) are produced using
Accsys' proprietary technology for the acetylation of wood chips,
and particles for use 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(R) Wood Elements is lauded as the first
major innovation in the wood composites industry in more than 30
years.
Wood Acetylation is a process which increases the amount of
'acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical
properties. When carried out to a sufficient level throughout the
wood, this process protects it 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(R) wood (www.accoya.com) is produced using Accsys'
proprietary patented acetylation technology, 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(R) wood is particularly suited to
exterior applications where performance and appearance are valued.
Unlike most tropical and European hardwoods, its colour does not
degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the Accoya(R)
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(R)
wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects, designers
and specifiers. For marine uses where weight is also important,
Accoya(R) 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(R) news, visit
