Summary
Modified Paper Manufacturing Workers produce specialty paper (modified processed paper) by applying resins or additives to base paper to impart functions such as water resistance, oil resistance, and weather resistance.
Description
Modified Paper Manufacturing Workers are a job category that manufactures specialty paper by applying various processing steps such as coating, lamination, dyeing, and resin impregnation to pulp-derived base paper. They handle raw material mixing, additive management, operation and adjustment of processing machines (coaters, laminators, dryers, etc.), and maintain quality through inspections of thickness, surface quality, and functional characteristics. They are also responsible for production line machine maintenance, troubleshooting, and operations in compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations.
