Adjust resin chemicals for current conditions
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to situations where the fabricator has the ability to make limited modifications to the resin composition in order to make a better product. This unit includes knowing the limits that can be made to adjustments and also when no adjustments can be made.
This unit may cover existing products, repairs or the development of new products.
Decisions regarding resin chemistry adjustment may typically be undertaken by an individual in liaison with relevant stakeholders or it may be undertaken by a team and will typically occur at the worksite.
Use of the adjusted chemistry 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 knowledge of resin chemistry, particularly catalysis and resin curing, to make adjustments to the chemistry to suit current requirements caused by weather, job specifications or other factors. It also requires knowing the limits of these adjustments and having discussions with suppliers/manufacturers regarding resin chemistry.
