Notes to editors:
Accsys Technologies PLC(www.accsysplc.com) is a chemical
technology group 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.
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. These benefits result in lower maintenance and
total cost of ownership while using a higher sustainable and
environmental responsible building material. For a full archive of
Accoya(R) news, visit www.accoya.com/news.asp.
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. Exploitation of Accsys' proprietary technology
relating to Tricoya(R) Wood Elements is carried out through Tricoya
Technologies Limited, a joint venture between Accsys and INEOS
Industries Holdings Limited. Tricoya(R) Wood Elements are 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 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.
Accsys Technologies is the trading name of Titan Wood Limited.
ACCOYA(R), TRICOYA(R) and the Trimarque Device are registered
trademarks owned by Titan Wood Limited ("TWL"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Accsys Technologies PLC, and may not be used or

the Tricoya(R) registered trademark, from Tricoya Technologies
Limited, a joint venture between TWL and INEOS Industries Holdings
Limited with exclusive rights to exploit the Tricoya(R) brand.
