Summary
A specialist who applies paint to the surface of wires to enhance weather resistance and insulation, thereby ensuring quality and safety.
Description
Wire coating workers are a profession that applies painting or coating processes to the surfaces of wires and cables on manufacturing lines or at sites. First, they perform surface preparation through degreasing and polishing, then uniformly apply primer or topcoat paint using methods such as spraying or dipping.
