No Rot or Decay for 50 Years!

Accoya ^® is 100% solid wood; that is modified to the core using a non-toxic proprietary acetylation process.

Accoya ^® wood is warranted against rot and decay for 50 years above ground, and 25 years in-ground/fresh water contact. The heartwood and sapwood are easily distinguished. The texture is typically fine to medium.

Benefits of Acetylated Wood What is Acetylation?

acetylation wood technology Rather than spin tales of hydroxyls, hydrogen atoms and other chemistry jargon, in the simplest terms we can muster (in the context of Accoya wood technology) acetylation is: subjecting a softwood to a vinegar, which turns it into a hardwood by preventing the cells in the wood from being able to absorb water.

So acetylated wood is… Pickled wood?

More or less. Yes.

Okay, the chemistry behind this is a little complex, and the vinegar is acetic anhydride. Not quite the malt vinegar for your fish and chips. But the principle is there.

Not at all. Don’t let the chemical name scare you. As sodium chloride is actually salt or dihydrogen monoxide is water. Nobody has come up with a sexy name for this vinegar yet. But importantly the reactive organic components are carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. So it’s not toxic at all.

Ok great so acetylation is non-toxic.

The benefits of using acetylated wood.

When making anything out of wood, its water that’s one of the main trouble makers.

Keep wood dry and well maintained and it’s one of the greatest materials of all time. But introduce water? Problems begin to seep in. With untreated, badly treated or unmodified wood, water can bring a whole host of problems including rotting, warping, splintering, swelling, shrinking and being food for hungry insects.

So acetylation wood technology removes the issue at source; rather than treating wood with a toxic chemical trying to stop rot or insect attack and not helping with other helping with other water issues. The result is real wood that doesn’t rot. It will hardly warp, swell or shrink. It doesn’t splinter and it isn’t termite chow.

Distinguished Characteristics

Accoya ^® is currently sourced and treated in Europe and then imported to North America. It is a modified softwood with heartwood and sapwood that are easily distinguished, and a texture that is typically fine to medium.

Accoya ^® wood works very well with almost all tooling, although care is needed when gluing and should adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Due to the acidic nature of the treatment process, any metal in contact with Accoya ^® (including fasteners) needs to be stainless stain or marine grade brass.
