Accsys Technologies PLC has announced that its subsidiary, Tricoya Technologies Limited, has now entered into an agreement with Petronas Chemicals Group Berhad to evaluate the feasibility of jointly funding, designing, building and operating an integrated acetic anhydride and Tricoya wood elements production plant in Malaysia.

It is envisaged that Tricoya wood elements produced at the plant would use acetic acid from PCG’s existing joint venture in Malaysia. The plant would then supply the wood panel industry within South East Asia, under licence, as the key raw material for the formation of Tricoya panels for the use in the construction industry in the region.

The Malaysia feasibility study forms part of a wider strategy to develop markets for products manufactured using Accsys technology. Accsys Technologies PLC has recently made multi-million dollar investments in a Tricoya plant for annual production of up to 30,000 tonnes per year of acetylated wood chips in Hull, England, and to increase capacity of its Accoya production plant in Arnhem, Netherlands, by 50% to 60,000 cubic metres.
