Urban Site Furnishings Made With Tangent Plastic Lumber

If you are a manufacturer of urban furnishings, you are already familiar with the demands placed on the products you produce. They must withstand the stresses of constant use by the public and the assault of constant exposure to the elements. At the same time, they must look great for years with little or no maintenance. Finally, they must look terrific while standing up to the scrutiny of government agencies and a public increasingly concerned with protecting our environment.

Tangent Technologies can help solve your material needs with our full line of custom plastic lumber products. Our extruded shapes can be manufactured to your exacting requirements for size, color, rigidity and surface finish. They are made from a blend of recycled post-consumer plastics – materials that have the highest environment rating by the Healthy Building Network. So you and your customers can feel good about doing your part to keep plastics out of landfills. And they are perfectly suited to the demand of the urban environment – our plastic lumber products will not hold paint, so graffiti is easily removed. And our colors won’t fade, are impenetrable to moisture and insects and have a tough composition that will hold up to heavy use for years without maintenance. We guarantee that with our limited warranty.

Whether you are manufacturing benches, planters or trash receptacles, Tangent can support your requirements regardless of the shape or size of material. We have hundreds of standard shapes in-house, or we can design a custom shape to meet your needs. Our variety of profiles can be tooled and fabricated with standard wood working equipment and is of a quality that gives you a consistent and quality cross section when parts are fabricated to their final dimension. When shape and machining characteristics are more important than rigidity, your products can be made from our PolyTuf™ line of material. Choose from a wide range of standard colors and surface characteristics– or spec your own.

If your application requires more rigidity – but is not a true structural application, we can manufacture your requirement with our line of PolyTuf Plus™ profiles. These are ideal for deck or dock surfaces. For true structural applications, we offer our PolyForce™ line of structural plastic lumber with fiber additives to achieve the rigidity and toughness you need.
