Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical job at manufacturing sites that immerses fibers or fabrics in dye solution to uniformly impregnate color.
Description
Color dyers (immersion dyeing) are specialized technicians who immerse fiber products in a bath dissolved with dye, adjusting temperature, pH, and time to uniformly fix the color. They handle a series of processes from dye formulation and bath dyeing machine operation to pre-treatment and post-treatment (washing, fixation processing), drying, and finishing. To prevent color unevenness and defects, they must have thorough knowledge of fiber materials and dye properties, as well as strict quality control. Factory work involves a lot of standing and handling heavy objects, requiring physical stamina.
Future Outlook
Although job openings are flat due to the shrinking domestic textile industry, the need for specialized technicians is expected to be maintained due to increasing demand for high-value-added products and small-lot dyeing.
