Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to join a solid polymer to another solid surface using adhesives, cohesives, solvents or other joining materials. The polymer may be thermoplastic or cured or uncured thermoset.This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to select materials and equipment, prepare substrate and joining materials, make the join and apply required conditions, and recognise routine and non-routine problems and take appropriate action.This unit of competency applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift team members, team leader and supervisor, as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
