Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare technical textile for laminating or application of fusible interlining.
- 1.1 Appropriate checks are made to ensure that textile fabrics are ready for laminating or application of fusible interlining.
- 1.2 Work area is prepared according to OHS practices.
- 1.3 Solvent, powder or hot melt adhesive is obtained or prepared according to manufacturer instructions and specifications required for job.
- 1.4 Problems are reported and recorded.
2 Prepare technical textile for lamination or insertion of interlining
- 2.1 Appropriate tests are conducted if required on technical textile before lamination or fusing of interlining.
- 2.2 Technical textile is fixed into position on machine or conveyor as required.
- 2.3 Job or batch requirements are checked according to enterprise procedures.
3 Operate and monitor laminating or fusible interlining machine
- 3.1 Where required coating material is preformed into a continuous sheet for laminating to substrate either by application of heat or by use of an adhesive.
- 3.2 Solvent, powder, hot melt adhesive or continuous lamination sheet is applied to technical textile or fusible interlining.
- 3.3 Coating process is monitored to ensure application is according to job requirements and manufacturer instructions.
- 3.4 Machinevariables are set according to process and job requirements.
- 3.5 Laminated or interlined technical textile is removed from coating machine and tests conducted if required.
- 3.6 Technical textile is directed to next operation.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Laminating process
The laminating process involves the production of a textile by combining two or more fabrics using an adhesive. Adhesives include solvent, powder or hot melt adhesives.
Fusible interlining
A fusible interlining is a fabric that has been coated with an adhesive coating, which under the influence of heat and pressure will melt and form a bond with any other fabric that is pressed against it
OHS practices
OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
environmental practices
Technical textile
Technical textiles are textile products that have been manufactured for special technical performance and applications. A clothing, carpet or furnishing textile product is 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.
Machine variables may include
setting of height adjustments
setting of temperature and timer controls for heating and cooling elements
setting of roller controls after heating zone for linear pressure.
level adjustments of calibrating rollers for precise calibration
conveyor belt controls for speed, direction etc.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
safely and accurately load adhesives
safely set and operate technical textile laminating and interlining machines
identify machine or process faults
follow job specifications and orders
Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks according to instructions
working systematically with attention to detail
identifying improvements and avoiding damage
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
