Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that manufactures tar products such as waterproofing materials and adhesives through processes like distillation, purification, and mixing, using coal tar or petroleum tar as raw materials.
Description
Tar product manufacturing workers use coal tar or petroleum tar as raw materials and perform chemical processes such as distillation, purification, heating, and mixing to produce products like waterproof sheets, sealants, adhesives, and asphalt modifiers. They handle a series of processes from raw material charging, equipment operation, temperature and pressure control, quality inspection, to filling and packaging, and are required to work in compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations. Since work is conducted in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, wearing protective gear and regular equipment inspections and maintenance are important.
Future Outlook
While demand for tar products such as asphalt paving and waterproofing materials will continue, there will be a shift from conventional products to low-environmental-impact products due to strengthened environmental regulations and advances in alternative material development. The need for personnel who can master advanced manufacturing processes and environmental response technologies is expected to increase in the future.
