Summary
A job that involves removing dyes and stains from textile products using chemicals or hot water to achieve uniform whiteness.
Description
Color discharge workers process cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, and other fabrics through bleaching to remove dyes, oils, and stains, enhancing whiteness. They operate specialized machines such as padding machines and jig machines, prepare and add chemicals (hydrogen peroxide, caustic soda, etc.), and manage temperature and pH to maintain proper bleaching conditions. They measure whiteness using samples taken during the process, inspect for color unevenness or fabric damage, and adjust conditions as needed. Equipment inspection and maintenance, safety and hygiene, and environmental management such as wastewater treatment are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
With stricter environmental regulations and the introduction of automation technology, knowledge of wastewater treatment and process control will be required. While manual labor decreases, career advancement to advanced equipment management and quality control technicians will be important.
