Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation responsible for preparing photosensitive emulsions, conducting quality inspections, and coating to manufacture photosensitive materials for films and printing plates.
Description
Photosensitive emulsion manufacturing workers mix photosensitive substances such as silver halides with gelatin and additives, and produce photosensitive emulsions through emulsification and sensitization processes. They strictly control manufacturing conditions (such as temperature, pH, and stirring speed), and repeat centrifugal separation, washing, concentration, and testing. The completed emulsion is uniformly coated onto film or printing plate base materials, followed by drying and curing processes to form the final product. Safety management and quality control are crucial, and operations are typically conducted in cleanroom environments.
Future Outlook
Although demand for traditional photographic films is declining due to the progress of digitalization, demand for special applications such as medical and industrial uses remains stable at a certain level, and expansion into new applications such as nanomaterials and medical coatings is anticipated.
