Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves weighing and mixing raw materials such as pigments, resins, and solvents in a paint manufacturing factory, and preparing paint based on specified formulation recipes.
Description
The Raw Material Charging Worker (Paint Manufacturing) handles the raw material formulation process that determines paint quality. Based on recipes, they measure pigments, resins, additives, solvents, etc., using measuring instruments and mix them homogeneously with stirring equipment. Operations involve handling dust and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so safety and health procedures must be followed, and appropriate protective gear worn. Post-mixing quality tests check viscosity, specific gravity, and color tone, supplying compliant products to downstream processes. Temperature and humidity control, along with regular equipment inspections, are also key tasks.
Future Outlook
With environmental regulations and increasing demand for low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) products, new formulation technologies and labor-saving lines will be introduced. Stable demand is expected, but compliance with safety and environmental standards is required.
