Quality assurance of Reaction Polymers

4. Seven fields of responsibility

The risks come under very different fields of responsibility, e.g. with reaction polymers:

Seven fields of responsibility (reaction polymers)

1. Raw material manufacturer (industrial chemistry)

Monomers (prepolymers) and curing agents
Fillers and aggregate
Colour pigments
Plasticizer and other additives

2. Formulators (building chemistry)

Formula and formulation
Filling and packing
Transport
Applications
Trials and monitoring

3. Applicator (craft)

Advising the architect and owner of the building
Preparation of the substrate
Execution of work
Guarantee

4. Building contractor (general contractor)

Coordination

5. Architect (building offices in major industry)

Determination of requirements
Specification according to the requirements
Putting out to tender and placement of contract
Construction management (supervision)
acceptance

6. Owner

Financing, leasing and return on investment

7. User

Normal use
Care (maintenance) and repair

It is the chain of decision-making which defines the responsibilities of many of those parties involved. Everyone wants to be proud of his contribution to the work as a whole. This pride in one's own work is a major incentive in achieving zero-defect independent work.
