Acetylation Process

Accoya® wood undergoes a unique acetylation process that significantly enhances its durability, resulting in a material that is highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage. This makes it perfect for use in challenging outdoor environments where traditional woods may deteriorate over time.

• Dimensional Stability: One of the standout features of Accoya® wood is its remarkable dimensional stability. The acetylation process reduces the wood's ability to absorb moisture, minimizing swelling and shrinking even in fluctuating humidity and temperature conditions. This ensures that structures made from Accoya® wood maintain their integrity and appearance over time.

• Sustainability: Sustainability is at the core of Accoya® wood production. The timber used is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the acetylation process is non-toxic, utilizing vinegar-derived acetic anhydride to modify the wood's molecular structure. As a result, Accoya® wood is an environmentally friendly choice for eco-conscious builders and architects.

• Enhanced Performance: Accoya® wood offers superior performance compared to traditional hardwoods, with improved paint retention, reduced maintenance requirements, and excellent machinability. It can be easily shaped, cut, and finished to meet the specific requirements of any project, providing designers and builders with unparalleled versatility.

• Warranty: Backed by extensive research and testing, Accoya® wood comes with a comprehensive 50-year above-ground warranty, giving customers peace of mind and confidence in the longevity and performance of their investment.
