Summary
Waterproof paper manufacturing workers perform a series of processes from raw material blending to papermaking, coating application, and drying using machine operations or manual labor to produce waterproof paper.
Description
Waterproof paper manufacturing workers blend pulp and additives, form paper using a papermaking machine, apply waterproof coating agents such as synthetic resins, remove moisture with a drying machine, and roll up the paper. They operate and adjust machine settings, manage coating amounts, thickness, and drying temperatures, and conduct regular quality inspections to maintain products without unevenness or defects.
