Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation in the paint (pigment) manufacturing process that inspects product quality and verifies whether color tone, viscosity, pH, drying properties, etc., meet standards.
Description
Paint Pigment Inspectors handle quality inspections of paints in paint production lines or R&D departments. They measure color tone with a color difference meter, confirm viscosity with a viscometer, and evaluate chemical properties and drying properties using pH meters and drying test machines. They input measurement data into the management system, and if out-of-specification results occur, they analyze the cause and provide feedback to the manufacturing or R&D departments. They also perform calibration and maintenance of inspection instruments and implement safety measures.
Future Outlook
With strengthening environmental regulations and increasing demand for high-performance paints, the importance of high-precision quality inspection grows. Advances in automatic analysis equipment and AI-based inspections will heighten the skills required of technicians.
