Glass Fiber and Filled Resin
Glass Fiber From an Office Partition Under the Microscope
Transmitted Off Crossed Circular Polarized Light Illumination
Definition/Function:
A common structure for a cubicle divider consists of a metal frame supporting a resin stiffened glass fiber
panel. The glass fiber panel 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 panel is typically due to the panel's use as a pincushion or to
other forms of mechanical damage.
