Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge to conduct technical textile mechanical finishing processes. The unit of competency applies to finishing processes used in the production of technical textiles. Processes may include heat setting, scouring, calendering, singeing, impregnation, raising, cropping and compressive shrinkage. Technical textiles are textile products that have been manufactured for special technical performance and applications. Clothing, carpet or furnishing textile products are generally not regarded as a technical textile unless a specific technical feature beyond what is normally found in clothing, carpet or furnishing has been added. An example would be special fire-retardant clothing.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
