Resin selection may typically be undertaken by an individual in liaison with relevant stakeholders or it may undertaken by a team. Selection may be undertaken in an office environment or at the worksite.
Use of the resin will be part of a fabrication and may be undertaken by an individual or a team. It may be undertaken in a workshop or factory environment or in the field and may be used to manufacture new products, prototypes and samples, or to make repairs.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to select appropriate resins and resin systems for a job from what is normally used by organisation, as well as what is available commercially. It includes the chemistry of resins.
