What is "coroplast"

n. A manufacturer of terracotta figurines (in Ancient Greece)

Coroplast is a brand name of corrugated plastic and a registered trademark of Coroplast, LLC, a member of the Inteplast Group of companies. Because of the success of this brand, it has become a generically used tradename and many people in North America today refer to all corrugated plastic as "coroplast". A similar product is marketed in Australia under the brand name Corflute.

Coroplast operates plants in Vanceburg, Kentucky, and Granby, Quebec. On August 15, 2014, Inteplast Group, the company's major competitor, acquired majority of its assets with an undisclosed amount.

Coroplast, also called pp plate sheet ("Fluted Polypropylene Sheet"), is a lightweight (hollow structure), non-toxic, waterproof, shockproof, long lifespan, corrosion preventive material. Compared with cardboard, Coroplast has the advantages of waterproof, colorfast and corrosion preventive.

The Coroplast composition can be altered with anti-static conductive masterbatch. This particular masterbatch produces a conductive, anti-static plastic hollow board sheet. (Conductive plate surface resistivity can be controlled between 10 ~ 10; anti-static sheet surface resistivity can be controlled between 10 ~ 10.)

A coroplast (or koroplast) was a modeler of terracotta figurines in Greek antiquity. Coroplastic studies, the study of ancient terracotta figurines, involves the analysis of the types and sources of clays used, the methods of production employed, the chronology, context, distribution and display of the objects, and their social, political, economic, sacred and historical meaning.
