MFC partitions are particularly suited to general commercial washroom environments, such as offices, with low to medium usage.  Created by high pressure heat-bonding impregnated paper to particleboard, they offer a wear- and water-resistant surface finish. They are an economical choice, most appropriate for use in dry environments, but are unsuitable for use in wet areas such as swimming pool changing areas and shower cubicles.  However, they are sufficiently water-resistant for general washroom use.  MFC may not be a good choice where partitions may be subject to scratching of burning from, for example, lighted cigarettes; and they cannot withstand excessive rough usage or deliberate vandalism.
