Product Description
Coroplast is the leading brand of corrugated fluted plastic. It’s known for its rich, vibrant colors, high-quality, and durability. It’s extruded polypropylene twin-wall plastic, chemically inert, and free from additives.
Coroplast brand mixes color pigment into their resin which is fed into the machines at the time of extrusion. The pigment and resin are fully blended and then extruded, resulting in color consistently all the way through the sheet. The process creates a smooth, sleek finish.
Some brands can be ink-printed in a variety of colors on white corrugated plastic, creating a more matte finish, but may deteriorate over time for this application. Some others may use less pigment resulting in less vibrant colors.
Coroplast comes in thicknesses from 2mm - 10mm. We only use 4mm-5mm, which is ideal for cage bases, any thicker is too rigid and unnecessary; any thinner is too flimsy. There's a variety of Pantone standard colors. We also have a custom Pink and Lime color made for us.
Benefits include:
- Lightweight
- Inert to nearly all acids, chemicals, detergents, grease and oils
- Maintains near new appearance for years
- 100% recyclable & environmentally friendly
- Waterproof
- Weather and stain resistant

A: We use Coroplast, which is a leading brand of corrugated fluted plastic. It is made of extruded polypropylene twin-wall plastic, ensuring it is chemically inert and free from additives.
