MSTTN2010 Apply laminations or fusible interlinings to technical textiles

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTN2010B Apply laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply laminations and fusible interlinings to technical textiles. Technical textiles are textile products that have been manufactured for special technical performance and applications

Techniques allow for the bonding of two textile fabrics to give increased stiffening or other enhanced technical performance in the final product. The unit of competency covers the use of solvent, powder or hot melt adhesives to achieve lamination or apply interlining.

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.
