Summary
A job that handles the entire manufacturing process from raw material mixing to molding, vulcanization, and inspection of polyurethane rubber.
Description
Polyurethane rubber manufacturing workers mix raw materials such as polyols and isocyanates in the prescribed ratios, set them in injection molding or extrusion molding machines to perform vulcanization processes, and manufacture products. They strictly manage manufacturing conditions (temperature, pressure, time) and catalyst usage amounts, and conduct quality checks such as appearance inspection and dimensional measurement. In addition, they perform maintenance and inspection of manufacturing equipment, process improvements, and safety and environmental management (handling of harmful gases and chemicals), supporting efficient and stable production.
Future Outlook
With increasing demand in the automotive and construction sectors and advancements in environmentally responsive technologies, the expertise of polyurethane rubber manufacturing workers is in demand. Advanced technologies become crucial with the shift toward energy-saving and low-environmental-impact processes.
