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.

Lewis

This may help:

http://www.coroplast.com/resin.htm

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

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...

Coroplast.com has some of the information you seek. Indirectly.
Look at the temperatures in the MSDS and chemicals pages.
THey also suggest trial heating it.
