A common structure for a cubicle divider consists of a metal frame supporting a resin stiffened glass fiber pannel. The glass fiber pannel is then covered with a thin loose glass fiber blanket and an outer layer of cloth. Glass fiber from the cubicle divider is heavily coated with heavily filled yellow or orange phenolic resin. The deterioration of the glass fiber pannel is typically due to the pannels use as a pincushion or to other forms of mechanical damage.
