Explanatory notes
For the purposes of this unit standard, descriptions of the performance and properties of
paint raw material components are general descriptions only, and exclude details of the
chemistry of the components and the associated chemical reactions.
Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Describe the properties of resins commonly used in paint.
Range
properties may include – drying speed, film modification, chemical resistance,
ease of use, health and safety, environmental, durability, hardness, gloss
retention, colour retention, temperature resistance, solvent resistance, block
resistance.
Evidence requirements
1.1

common types – two pack (acrylic base, polyester base); single
pack (moisture-cured, air-dried, water-dispersed);
film-forming mechanism – chemical reaction, moisture absorption,
solvent evaporation.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMRs). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
and assessors, and special resource requirements.
