Accoya™ (www.accoya.info) is fundamentally a “new wood species”.
The acetylation of wood has been studied since the 1920s and has been shown to be one of the most promising methods for improving the durability, UV-resistance and dimensional stability of wood products. Accoya™ employs proprietary technology, which makes the acetylation of wood commercially viable for the first time.
In contrast to all other known wood treatments, Titan Wood’s Accoya™ technology neither introduces toxic chemicals nor harms the performance of the treated wood.
Accoya™ offers properties that are similar to, or surpass, the highest grades of tropical hardwoods - such as mahogany or teak. These properties are highly desirable for construction or aesthetic use, and include:
Class 1 durability – the best available
Outstanding dimensional stability which dramatically improves coatings adhesion and product performance
Lasting for 50 years above ground and 25 years in the ground
Environmental compatibility – non-toxic, 100% recyclable and sourced from sustainable forests
Consistent, measurable quality all the way through the wood, not just the surface
Retained natural strength and beauty, increased hardness
Consistent supply from sustainably managed forests and plantations
