In addition to Coroplast, there is also white plastic 4'*8' sheets that you should be able to get at Home Depot :

Home Depot 4X8 ft. sheet, white only. Don't have a name for it but probably is intended for bath and kitchen use. I found it in a rack with other wall panel 4X8 sheets. It will roll up and when taped fit inside a car.

They had another plastic covered masonite panel, too stiff to do much with and 1/4 in. thick. This is the only solid 1/16 plastic panel they have. Great stuff, works for everything.

I even put a scrap in my fireplace to see how flammable it would be. It never did flame, just melted out of shape. A bonus if used for underpanning. I pop-riveted aluminum flashing to the plastic next to exhaust parts with no signs of melting yet
But I also think, anything goes. Go into hardware stores and Big Lot/dollar stores and look at stuff. You may find a plastic "shape" that you can cut and use for a different purpose.
