Small office building is fitted out with metal studs and that "cardboard
panel" (1/2"? thick) wall material. Ceilings are all 2x4 acoustic tiles.

The bathroom in a small office building uses some kind of thin (3/16"?)
plastic material for the walls.

Can you help me identify this material? Is there such a material commonly
used for this purpose?

This is in USA.

Thanks,

Don't know what they call that stuff but I have seen it. they also use
it in dairy barns and is probably required in both cases. they have
it at the borg. it is a type of paneling.

Generically it's called FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) paneling.

I believe that it is called "FRP", which IIRC is Fiberglass Reinforced
Panel.

Google 'frp panel' lots of results
