Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply 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 and requires knowing the limits of these adjustments and having discussions with suppliers/manufacturers regarding resin chemistry.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
