HULL, UK – Tricoya Technologies Ltd. broke ground recently for the first phase of construction at the site of the world’s first Tricoya wood chip acetylation plant at Saltend Chemicals Plant, Hull in England. Tricoya, an MDF specially processed for outdoor usage and warranted 50 years, was introduced to the U.S. market at AWFS Fair 2017. Tricoya is produced in the Medite Smartply engineered wood operations in Ireland. The new plant is being funded, built and operated by a consortium of companies formed in March 2017 including Accsys Technologies, BP Ventures, BP Chemicals, Medite, Business Growth Fund (BGF) and Volantis. …Tricoya acetylated wood elements (including chips, fibres and particles) are a revolution in modified wood fibre technology. [Unlike pressure treatment, acetylation chemically modifies wood].
