Accsys Technologies PLC is listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market under the symbol 'AXS'. 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 insects, 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(TM) wood (www.accoya.info) is produced using a patented process that effectively converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into what is best described as a 'new wood species'. Distinguished by its durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most importantly of all, its reliability (in terms of consistency of both supply and quality), Accoya(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM) wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects, designers and specifiers. For marine uses where weight is also important, Accoya(TM) wood for the first time provides boat builders with a wood that is strong, lightweight, durable and which retains its natural beauty for far longer. ACCOYA(TM) is a registered trademark owned by Titan Wood Limited. This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange PD
