NZQA registered unit standard 29137 version 1 Page 1 of 3 Title Describe the performance and properties, and end use performance of paint emulsions Level 4 Credits 4 Purpose People credited with this unit standard are able to describe the performance and properties of paint emulsions, and the enduse performance of paint emulsions. Classification Coatings, Inks, and Adhesives > Paint Manufacturing Available grade Achieved Entry information Unit 20288, Demonstrate knowledge of paint raw material components, or demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills. Recommended skills and knowledge 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 performance and properties of paint emulsions. Evidence requirements 1.1 The physical nature of paint emulsions is described. Range 1.2 physical nature – stable dispersion of fine polymer particles in water. Common types of emulsions are identified, and the film-forming mechanism is described. Range Competenz SSB Code 101571 common types – acrylics, vinyls, vinyl-acrylics, styrene-acrylics; film-forming mechanism – water evaporation, physical coalescence; New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 NZQA registered unit standard 29137 version 1 Page 2 of 3 Outcome 2 Describe the end-use performance of paint emulsions. Range end-uses may include – automotive, housing, industrial, marine, aeronautical, roading, flooring. Evidence requirements 2.1 A typical end-use for common types of emulsion is identified and the properties relevant to its use are described. common types include – acrylics, vinyls, vinyl-acrylics, styreneacrylics; 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.
