I saw that asmodeus, but the quantities involved are so small I thought it of no significance

This must be getting closer to a full turn around. Well over due for a run of good news.

Bit of a wobble around 0.6

signs that 50c might break at last. If we do does anyone tink we will settle at 55c or 60c pretty quickly?

[outsider] 19/3/2010 07:18

could do with breaking 50c

I'll be happy to switch if everyone else does.
I am just interested in why you feel it necessary to loose all the interesting history.
Perhaps you could shorten the header so that the extra scrolling is reduced.

'Green' wood technology could revolutionise use of MDF
Louise Bateman
8th March 2010
A low carbon technology that waterproofs, strengthens and extends the life of softwood by up to 50 years has been shown in trials to be able to turn MDF into a product for outdoor use that could revolutionise the use of the wood composite.

The technology is called acetylation and has been developed by UK company Accsys Technology PLC, which is now being headed up by Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg's elder brother Paul.

Acetylation works in a similar way to soaking conkers in vinegar and oven-baking them to make them go extra hard. The patented process changes softwoods at a molecular level making them stronger and more durable than hardwoods, such as teak.

Accsys says the technology, which is non-toxic, helps protect the world's hardwood resources and locks up carbon for far longer than unacetylated wood.

Trading under the name Accoya wood, the high tech product is 100 per cent recyclable and is already being used for doors, windows and cladding – and has even been used in infrastructure projects, such as bridges.

Accoya wood wins Cradle to Cradle Gold standard
A recent independent cradle to gate report by environmental consultancy Camco demonstrated that Accoya wood's carbon footprint is lower than many traditional building materials such as PVC, aluminium and unsustainably sourced tropical hardwood. It also boasts the green credential of having been recently recognised as a 'Gold' standard product under the eco certification scheme Cradle to Cradle.

Now, Accsys has found a way to successfully adapt the acetylation technology for use in wood 'elements', such as chip, fibre and particles, which it claims will revolutionise the wood composites industry.

Last week, Accsys joined forces with Medite Europe Ltd, Europe's leading manufacturer of MDF (medium-density fibreboard) to launch Medite Tricoya, an MDF panel made from acetylated wood fibres. The two companies first signed a joint development agreement last year.

Medite Tricoya suitable for use in cladding and bathrooms
Accsys said the extensive testing of Medite Tricoya against conventional MDF at a laboratory in Germany demonstrated its superior performance in terms of swelling and durability in wet conditions. The company believes the testing shows it is suitable for use in everything from cladding to bathrooms and outdoor play frames.

Michel Maes, global manager Panel Products, Accsys, said Medite Tricoya had the scope to "revolutionise" the way board panels could be used and created an opportunity for manufacturers to develop products that were "stable, durable and environmentally sound".

Accsys, which initially raised £24 million through a listing on AIM in October 2005, which helped fund an acetylation plant in the Netherlands, is now looking to open a second commercial scale factory in China. It is also looking to license its patented technology to other manufacturers all over the world. However, the company, which was listed on Euronext in September 2007, has seen its share price hit by deteriorating trading conditions during the recession and a drop in hardwood prices.

Clegg, who joined the company last year, said the Medite joint venture offered an "exciting" new opportunity for the company. "This innovative product is based on the same acetylation process that creates Accoya wood, the world's leading high technology solid wood product," he said. "We are very excited to unveil the first Medite Tricoya panel."

Accsys Technologies PLC Unveils
World's First Medite Tricoya® Panel at Ecobuild 2010
Accsys Technologies PLC ("Accsys") yesterday unveiled the world's first Medite Tricoya® panel
at the annual Ecobuild exhibition, together with Coillte Panel Products.
Speaking at a lunchtime reception attended by some 50 key industry opinion formers,
company's stakeholders and distributors as well as influential national press yesterday, Paul
Clegg, Chief Executive Officer of Accsys, said this trial panel marks one of the first true
innovations in the wood composites industry in more than 30 years.
Mr Clegg says: "We are very excited to unveil the first Medite Tricoya® panel to our business
partners, industry friends and media at Ecobuild today. This innovative product is based on the
same acetylation process that creates Accoya® wood, the world's leading high technology solid
wood product. This time, the technology is applied to treat the chips and fibres, which make up
Medite MDF (medium density fibreboard) panels."
Gerard Britchfield, Managing Director of Medite's parent division, Coillte Panel Products, adds
that this next generation panel has very strong environmental credentials as it combines the
traditional superb machinability and smoothness properties of Medite MDF with the sharply
enhanced performance characteristics delivered by the Tricoya® process, particularly with
regard to durability and dimensional stability in wet environments.
"Following the signing of the Joint Development Agreement last year, this is an important step
forward. However, we still have a significant body of technical research and market assessment
to complete in 2010 in order to bring this commercial feasibility stage of the development
progress to a definitive conclusion," Mr Britchfield says.
At the reception, Paul was also delighted to announce two additional achievements of Accoya®
wood as follows:
1. billed as a low carbon alternative compared to other conventional construction materials
following a recent assessment by Camco, a leading environmental consultancy
2. named as a 'Gold standard' product under the Cradle to CradleSM (C2C) Certification
scheme that has become one of the most important eco-labels worldwide
By significantly enhancing the durability and dimensional stability of abundantly available fastgrowing
certified wood species, Accoya provides compelling environmental advantages over
slow-growing hardwoods (which are often unsustainably sourced), woods treated with toxic
chemicals and non-renewable carbon-intensive materials such as plastics, steel and concrete.
The reception was also attended by some key opinion formers in the timber industry, including
Charles Trevor, Chairman of the Wood Technology Society. He commented that the timber
industry in the UK is now facing challenging times due to the recent recession, competition from
other building materials and low promotional spend.
"However, the good news is that more people than ever understand that timber is the most
sustainable building material for the 21st Century. In addition, engineered wood products like
glulam, LVL and cross laminated timber have brought a new and welcome predictability to the
business of specifying wood. Now Accoya® wood can be added to this list of engineered wood
products - engineered because it has been modified and quality assured for decay resistance,
durability and dimensional stability."

thx damanko, i think most will use it, when something worthwhile to say, one may not!

Why?

This thread contains all the history and the new thread's header is too long.

It's about time that Accsys breaks above 50cents imo...

[outsider] 16/3/2010 10:37

Outsider,
The above article appears to be an extract from a longer piece. The original may have made sense but very little of the extract does. It is not a good testimonial for Accsys imo and is not suitable as a thread-header being far too long. I'll be sticking with this thread for the moment.

I am bullish for Accsys and have a smallish holding.

I agree.
This is my take on the chart, which looks much more meaningfull in log.

[outsider] 12/3/2010 07:52

pretty much looks as if this one has bottomed out checking the graph, could be a good time to get back in.

[spudders] 25/2/2010 19:46

T - A distributor that I have dealt with in the past will only sell by the pack, which is mixed section sizes. None of the local merchants want to split packs as they are left with sizes and stock that may sit around for months or may never sell. Awareness of Accoya is still very limited in small building companies. I still believe the product is the future for timber and for that reason I continue to hold.

[tbow112] 25/2/2010 19:26

Spudders,

It would be interesting to know more about AXS failure to distribute, eg ask them how you are supposed to get hold of supplies and then compare what they say with what actually happens.

Maybe the whole thing is a con trick and they dont really want people handling the product.
