Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that involves operating equipment, managing chemicals, and safety and health management to bleach fiber products using acidic bleaching agents in the spinning and weaving manufacturing process.
Description
Acid bleaching workers are responsible for the bleaching process of fiber products such as woven fabrics and yarns. Operators handle equipment such as reaction tanks and continuous washing machines, dissolve and add chemicals, and monitor and adjust pH and temperature. They regularly take samples and check the degree of bleaching using color difference meters or visual inspection to ensure quality standards are met. Additionally, since strong acids are handled, safety checks before and after work, wearing protective gear, and understanding emergency response procedures are essential. Simple equipment maintenance and work record management are also included in the duties.
Future Outlook
Due to strengthening environmental regulations and the introduction of alternative technologies such as enzyme bleaching, traditional chemical bleaching processes require automation and efficiency improvements, and the demand for skilled workers is gradually decreasing, but they are still needed in special processing fields.
