Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves blending raw materials, synthesis, purification, and inspection of photosensitive agents (photoresists) used in printing.
Description
Printing photosensitizer manufacturing workers produce photosensitive chemical products called photoresists used for printing plates. They weigh out specified amounts of raw materials such as resins, solvents, and photosensitizers, and control polymerization or crosslinking reactions in reaction vessels. They manage temperature, pH, and reaction time, then perform purification, dehydration, and drying after synthesis. Subsequently, they conduct quality inspections such as viscosity measurement and sensitivity testing, and ship products that meet the standards. Operation of chemical plants, handling of hazardous materials, and safety and health management are important, and work is also done in clean rooms or with dedicated equipment.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for digital printing and high-performance inks, advancement of photoresists and photosensitive materials, and development of environmentally friendly products will progress. Automation of manufacturing processes and introduction of quality assurance systems will accelerate, requiring process optimization skills and data analysis abilities from technicians.
