Ground-breaking research sets new standard for wood maintenance
as Accoya gets the thumbs up from Akzo Nobel.

Accsys Technologies PLC ('Accsys' or 'the Company') reports that Akzo Nobel
Decorative Coatings' subsidiary, Sikkens Joinery (Netherlands), has announced
ground-breaking results of a 10 year collaborative research programme which
shows that Accoya, the 'new wood species' developed by Accsys' wholly owned
subsidiary, Titan Wood, can last ten years or longer without the need for
repainting. The development of extended maintenance-free periods will
contribute significantly to the protection of rainforests by offering a highly
durable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to tropical
hardwoods.

The joint initiative between Titan Wood BV (
www.titanwood.com
) and Sikkens
Joinery, a leading provider of high quality paint systems, shows that Accoya
could set new standards for the wood industry by significantly reducing the cost
and therefore the environmental impact of maintaining products such as windows,
doors and cladding.

Accoya is made using a process which effectively converts softwoods and
non-durable hardwoods into an environmentally compatible 'new wood species'.
Accoya's exceptional performance is achieved solely by increasing the presence
of 'acetyl' in the wood - this molecule is naturally present in every wood
species, meaning that Accoya is completely non-toxic. Accoya is distinguished
by its durability, stability and, perhaps most importantly of all, its
reliability. With performance attributes similar to or better than the best
tropical hardwoods and superior to many artificial material alternatives, Accoya
is particularly suitable for outdoor use.

Commenting on the research Edward Pratt, CEO of Accsys, said: 'Accoya(TM) is
poised to fill a gap in a market that's looking for a high performance, reliable
alternative to tropical hardwoods and other materials. The combination of
Accoya and Sikkens' quality coatings makes Accoya(TM) even more attractive and
we're extremely encouraged by these results.'

Franck van Hooff, General Manager Sikkens Joinery Benelux, added: 'Accoya's
development fits well with Sikkens' LongLifeTM concept of Joinery. In fact,
customers are now asking us for maintenance-free periods of up to 10 years and
the combination of Accoya and our coatings systems will make that possible for
the first time. A further great advantage is that Accoya is produced from fast
growing timbers from plantations, available in large quantities in Europe and
other parts of the world. The felling of tropical timbers in rainforests to
produce items such as highly durable window sills will become redundant as
environmentally friendly alternatives like these become available. This fits
very well into our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.'

Accsys' Directors believe that wood acetylation will form the Company's focus in
the short to medium term with the business plan forecasting strong growth in the
next few years. Accsys operates a large-scale pilot plant in Arnhem, the
Netherlands. This plant is presently being used to supply test material to
customers and potential licensees across the world. A full scale plant
currently under construction is scheduled to go into production in Summer 2006.

Accoya, a 'new wood species', is to launch in the UK
in partnership with UK's largest sawmilling business,
BSW Timber

Accsys Technologies PLC (
www.accsysplc.com
) is bringing Accoya, a 'new species'
of high performing wood, into the UK and Ireland. The company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Titan Wood Ltd (
www.titanwood.com),
has signed an agreement with BSW
Timber ('BSW'), the UK's biggest sawmilling business, for the rights to become
the exclusive supplier and producer of Accoya in the region.

The agreement follows two years of joint research and development and customer
trials with a number of joinery companies in the UK, as well as extensive work
with specialist industry partners in coatings and associated products. Under
the agreement, BSW (
www.bsw.co.uk
) is investing to have exclusive rights in UK
and Ireland to market Accoya, a modified wood product that offers outstanding
performance in terms of durability, stability and reliability, to its broad base
of customers.

This development is consistent with the strategy outlined by Accsys at the time
of its Initial Public Offering in October 2005.

Accoya offers key performance attributes that are equivalent to or better than
the best tropical hardwoods and superior to many artificial material
alternatives. It is produced using a patented process that effectively converts
sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into what is best
described as a 'new wood species' by increasing the amount of acetyl molecules
present in the wood. Since acetyl molecules are already present in all wood
species, the process does not introduce anything that does not occur naturally
in wood and Accoya is therefore completely non-toxic.

Paul Barham, Chief Executive of BSW, said: 'The Accoya brand fits well with the
construction industry's growing demand for high performance, low maintenance,
sustainable, competitively priced wood products. Accoya is revolutionary yet
founded on many years' research and we believe that it has significant market
potential in the UK where it will be a viable alternative to tropical hardwoods
and artificial materials in exterior applications.'

Ed Suttie, (Director, Timber), of leading independent research, consultancy and
testing agency, BRE (
www.bre.co.uk
) commented: 'An essential component of the
future sustainable use of wood will rely on innovative technologies such as
acetylated wood. I am excited that the promise shown during the development of
acetylated wood is at last being brought to market. This is great news for wood
in Europe and great news for customers of wood products.'

Edward Pratt, CEO of Accsys Technologies, added: 'As a recognised industry
leader with more than 150 years of trading history in the UK, BSW is a perfect
partner for Titan Wood. Their investment in the Accoya brand is a powerful
endorsement of the market potential for this excellent new material. Through
this agreement we will be able to make Accoya more rapidly available to the many
architects, engineers, local authorities, companies and consumers who are
actively seeking more reliable, attractive and sustainable options in their
choice of building materials.'

Notes to Editors

Accsys Technologies - owns the rights to a number of processes, including high
temperature cracking and cellulose modification. Accsys' core technologies have
either existing patent protection or pending patent applications. Accsys is
focusing its energies on the launch of its Titan Wood business: once this
business has been established, the Directors intend to pursue other technologies
within its portfolio.

BSW Timber - BSW Timber is the largest sawmilling business in Great Britain. The
company's foundations go back to 1848 and the current company was formed in 1988
through a merger of the Brownlie family business and two other companies, Thomas
Smith & Sons and Western Softwoods.

Wood Acetylation - Wood acetylation is a process which increases the amount of '
acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical properties. The
process protects wood from rot by making it 'inedible' to most micro-organisms
and insects, without - unlike conventional treatments - making it toxic. It
also greatly reduces the wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less
prone to cracking and ensuring that when painted it requires dramatically
reduced maintenance.

Accoya wood to Set 'New Standards of Reliability' across
Windows, Doors and Cladding Markets


Following BSW Timber's recent Press Release, which is reproduced below, Accsys
Technologies PLC comments as follows:

BSW recognises the market potential for Accoya wood, with its exceptional
attributes: dimensional stability, durability, reliability and
sustainability;

BSW will promote Accoya wood to UK & Ireland's major window, door
manufacturers and joinery firms and has further plans to market Accoya wood
in the timber cladding sector through the A. Proctor Group Ltd.;

BSW has forged an exclusive agreement with leading coatings supplier Akzo
Nobel Sikkens to provide a package of coatings guarantees for windows and
doors that is set to create a new industry benchmark; and

Extensive testing has yielded impressive results, endorsed by British
Research Establishment.


BSW Press Release reads as follows: ' BSW Timber, the UK's largest sawmilling
group, is hoping a new high performance wood will significantly increase its
share in the windows, doors and cladding markets.

The company has signed an agreement with Titan Wood to be the exclusive supplier
across the UK and Ireland of Accoya wood - a modified, environmentally friendly
wood that offers outstanding levels of performance, stability and
sustainability.

Following two years of extensive research, BSW is now promoting Accoya wood to
many of the UK's leading window and door manufacturers as well as joinery firms,
and is further planning a route to market for the timber cladding sector through
the A Proctor Group. BSW has also signed an exclusive agreement with leading
coatings supplier Akzo Nobel Sikkens to provide a high quality finish for the
new product.

Accoya wood offers performance attributes that are equivalent to or better than
the best tropical hardwoods and superior to many artificial material
alternatives. It is produced using a patented process that adapts sustainably
grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods by increasing the amount of acetyl
molecules present in the wood. Natural wood has 2% acetyl molecules, oak has 4%
and Accoya wood has 20%.

Wood acetylation protects wood from rot by making it inedible to most
micro-organisms and insects, without making it toxic. It also greatly reduces
the wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and
ensuring that when painted it requires dramatically reduced maintenance.

Since acetyl molecules are already present in all wood species, the process does
not introduce anything that does not occur naturally in wood and Accoya wood is
therefore completely non-toxic.

John Alexander, Head of Business Development at BSW Timber, says: 'Accoya wood
will raise standards of reliability and performance for timber windows, doors
and cladding to new levels. It is a high performance wood product, which has
excellent environmental credentials and is more sustainable than other materials
used in non-timber windows and doors.

'Testing of Accoya wood for machining properties, gluing and coatings has now
been completed, with excellent results. We now offer a product that has new
levels of warranty against decay and a new warranty for quality coating
finishes, and does not require any further preservative treatment at joinery
companies' factories.

'Significantly, these benefits are endorsed and backed by leading third party
technical experts such as the British Research Establishment. And our two-year
commercial partnership with Akzo Nobel Sikkens will offer a solution for joinery
companies looking for new market opportunities and increased manufacturing
efficiencies.

'We aim for this advanced technology to contribute to our partner and customer
success in the joinery products market, as well as helping them compete with
non-wood products and imported timber windows.'

Customer trials of Accoya wood in key product applications are currently
underway in the UK with BSW and Titan Wood interested in establishing reference
projects for the UK, in cladding in particular, during the next four to six
months.

Trial material, at maximum four metres lengths, is coming to the UK from Titan
Wood's large-scale pilot plant in the Netherlands. Titan Wood is presently
building a 30,000 m3 commercial scale production plant, with start-up due in
September 2006.

Initial commercial volumes are expected to be available in the UK through BSW
towards the end of 2006. Larger volumes will be available in the in 2007 once
the Dutch operating plant achieves full operating conditions. BSW Timber plans
to establish a BSW Accoya wood production plant in the UK as the market
materialises.'

Titan Wood and Roggemann sign exclusive agreement
to launch AccoyaTM wood in the German market


Accsys Technologies PLC ('Accsys' or 'the Company',
www.accsysplc.com
) announces
that its 100% owned subsidiary, Titan Wood BV, has entered into a cooperation
agreement with the Roggemann Group, of Germany (
www.roggemann.de
)

The exclusive agreement, between AccoyaTM producer Titan Wood, based in Arnhem,
the Netherlands and the Roggemann Group from Bremen, Germany, one of the leading
German timber traders, is to bring an innovative new product in the wood
industry to the German market. AccoyaTM, a 'new wood species' is extremely
durable, reliable and dimensionally stable. It is created by the modification of
sustainable wood species, with low natural performance attributes, through a
process of acetylation.

AccoyaTM wood, with its extraordinary technical and ecological benefits, is the
ultimate wood for high quality outdoor applications such as doors, windows,
cladding, decking and external wooden constructions. The cooperative agreement,
signed earlier this month, will result in the first deliveries of the product to
Germany this year.

Carl Jastram, Business Development and Purchasing Manager for Roggemann, said, '
Looking at the outstanding technological and environmental benefits, the
Roggemann Group is convinced that AccoyaTM wood will shortly achieve a
considerable market share in Germany. We see this product meeting the demand for
high performance wood that satisfies the expectations of quality end products
that German consumers have come to expect'.

He went on to say, 'The work that Roggemann has done with trial customers
indicates that the performance is sufficiently good that it should not only give
a strong selling advantage, but that it should also help to reverse the tide of
manufacturers (and consumers) switching from wood to plastics and other less
environmentally friendly alternatives'.

Bert Kattenbroek, Sales & Marketing Manager at Titan Wood, added, 'It is the
exceptional material properties of acetylated wood which convinced the experts
at Roggemann to work with us. Early in 2005 the Roggemann business development
team established workgroups with leading window manufacturers. This exclusive
agreement with Roggemann for selling AccoyaTM wood in Germany, with rights also
to sell in Poland, is the culmination of eighteen months of close co-operation'.

The company group Enno Roggemann was set up in 1948 in Bremen and later on
expanded with additional outlets in Luneburg, Harsum, Ellerbek, Basdorf,
Niemberg (g) Coesfeld and Georgensgmund.

With their eight warehouses the Roggemann Group has a turnover of more than
300,000 m3 per year. A fleet of over 100 trucks delivers the products to trading
companies, joineries and industrial producers. In total Roggemann employs over
400 people.

A group of nearly fifty sales staff from the Roggemann Group has received
training at Titan Wood's Arnhem facilities which include both a pilot production
plant and a new commercial-scale production facility which is nearing
completion.

Carl Jastram concluded, 'Roggemann can see the situation where AccoyaTM wood,
produced from consistently available, 100% sustainable forested wood, replaces
large parts of the tropical wood that is used in joinery, decking and cladding
applications. We believe that demand from our German customers could
realistically exceed 10,000 m3 within a year and more, once the end-users become
familiar with the many performance benefits of AccoyaTM wood'.
