Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Synthetic resin coated paper manufacturing workers apply synthetic resin to base paper, dry and cure it to produce coated paper with added functionality. They manufacture coated paper used for printing paper, packaging materials, industrial papers, and more.
Description
Synthetic resin coated paper manufacturing workers set base paper or substrate paper into coating machines and apply synthetic resin emulsions or solvent-based resins uniformly. After application, they heat and dry it in drying ovens, and as needed, perform calendering to improve gloss and smoothness. They manage manufacturing conditions such as coating thickness, viscosity, and drying temperature, and conduct product quality inspections. During the process, they perform machine inspections and maintenance, and finally wind the paper into rolls for packaging and shipment preparation. Compliance with safety and health regulations is required for handling chemical substances and managing the work environment.
Future Outlook
While there is a decline in demand for printing and publishing paper, expansion in demand for functional coated paper in food packaging and industrial applications is expected. Opportunities for acquiring advanced skills will increase with the development of environmentally friendly resins and recyclable products.
