Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing operator who polymerizes methyl polymethacrylate and produces acrylic fibers through processes such as melt spinning, drying, and drawing.
Description
Acrylic fiber manufacturing workers use methyl polymethacrylate as raw material, perform polymerization reactions, and process it into fiber form via melt or dry spinning. They adjust process conditions such as temperature, pressure, and viscosity for each step, and perform post-processing including impurity removal, washing, drying, stretching (drawing), crimping, and winding. They are also responsible for quality control, safety management, ensuring product compliance with specifications, equipment maintenance, and environmental load reduction measures.
Future Outlook
The synthetic fiber market is stable, and manufacturing processes are advancing in sophistication and automation due to environmental regulations and increasing demand for high-performance materials.
