Accoya wood façade used in SMUX project offer a synergistic approach to sustainable urban development, providing durable, environmental friendly building materials and align with the principles of modular construction and sustainable design. Accoya wood has superior dimensional stability compared to tropical timber. It exhibits minimal swelling, shrinking, or warping in response to changes in moisture and temperature, which is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and aesthetics in modular construction projects.

Accoya wood is a specially treated type of wood known for its exceptional durability, stability, and sustainability. It's made from sustainably sourced softwood, usually radiata pine, which undergoes a process called acetylation. In this process, the wood is treated with acetic anhydride, which modifies the cell structure of the wood by replacing certain molecules with acetyl groups. This makes the wood highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, as well as greatly reducing its tendency to swell and shrink with changes in humidity.,
Tricoya MDF is a type of engineered wood product that is similar to traditional MDF but with enchanced durability and performance characteristics. It is made by treating wood fibers with acetic anhydride through a process called acetylation, similar to how Accoya wood is produced. The acetylation process alters the structure of the wood fibers, making them more resistant to moisture, rot, and fungal decay. This is results in Tricoya MDF having excellent dimensional stability, meaning it is less prone to swelling, shrinking, or warping when exposed to changes in humidity or moisture.
