Description
This unit of competency covers knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of textiles in processing applications. This unit of competency applies to using knowledge and understanding of the physical and chemical properties of textiles and associated materials to design, treat and process textile materials. This includes the resultant effects on, and behaviours of, materials when subjected to various treatments.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.
