Accoya® wood is the world’s leading sustainable high-performance wood, using a proprietary acetylation technology developed by Accsys Technologies, an environmental science and technology licensing company. Accoya wood is the first solid wood commercial product utilizing this proprietary technology.
The technology behind Accoya wood is based on acetylation, a process that has been studied by scientists around the world for more than 80 years. The non-toxic process alters the wood’s reaction with water by permanently replacing free hydroxyls
within the wood, that readily bond with water, with additional naturally occurring stable acetyl groups. This substitution results in a solid wood product with exceptional durability, dimensional stability and other substantial benefits.
