I'm building a smallish incubator, which I want to hold at 100 degrees
for several hours and want to know whether corrugated plastic ( aka
'Coroplast' ) can withstand that temp.?

My attempts at a search haven't come up with this information and your
help will be appreciated.

TIA.

It should easily accept your end use, assuming you're talking 100 deg.
Fahrenheit.

Thanks, guys, you have been very helpful.

Kind regards.

Coroplast is used to make signs that sit out in direct sunlight here
in South Florida. 100 deg F should not be a problem.


Of course, that doesn't necessarily make it the right chouce for an
incubator. You can buy 2 inch thick styrofoam sheets at HD for around
the same price as coroplast and many times the insulating value...
