Tangent Announces Patent for Woodgrain Polymer Dimensional Lumber

Tangent Announces Patent for Woodgrain Polymer Dimensional Lumber

Utility patent secures IP for unique polymer lumber

Today we are excited to announce that Tangent has been granted US patent No. 10,981,350, a utility patent for our woodgrain polymer lumber, which Tangent brought to the market in 2016. Our new utility patent covers internal woodgrain for polymer lumber and sheet products sold in the US. This patent brings Tangent’s total up to five, including others for the wood-grained appearance of our lumber.

Tangent’s woodgrain dimensional lumber has the look, texture, and essence of natural wood, but offers the low-maintenance durability of Tangent sustainable plastic lumber. We are proud to offer a sustainable material that is made from recycled plastic and looks like authentic hardwood. Available in seven woodgrain patterns and industry-leading finishes, the design possibilities are endless. Our patented woodgrain can be seen throughout the lumber, creating the unique wood aesthetic perfect for furniture crafting, woodworking and other projects.

“A driving force at Tangent is innovation. We’ve engineered materials that use recycled plastics, are durable and low maintenance, and look great. As the leading manufacturer of fabrication materials, we are excited to have been awarded this utility patent for our innovative material,” said Guy De Feo.

Tangent didn’t create plastic lumber, we just perfected it. Through over 100 years of combined experience in the industry, Tangent’s team has continued to drive the plastic lumber industry forward. Our patented technology and products give you the strength, durability, and aesthetics only found in Tangent Materials. When it comes to alternative materials, there is no alternative.
