Products Description
Cigarette filter rods play a crucial role in reducing the harm of smoking and enhancing the smoking experience. They are made from a variety of raw materials, each endowing the filter rods with unique properties.
Raw matreials
Cellulose acetate tow is the mainstream raw material for manufacturing high - end cigarette filter rods. It is derived from renewable wood pulp or cotton linters and belongs to cellulose - derived fibers. In the preparation process, cellulose is first acetylated to obtain cellulose acetate, which is then spun into tow. Commonly used cellulose acetate generally refers to cellulose diacetate. The solvent acetone used in its production is non - toxic, and the recovery rate can reach 99%, making it relatively environmentally friendly.
Advantages of Acetate Tow
Cellulose acetate tow has a unique morphological structure. Its longitudinal surface is smooth but with obvious grooves, and the cross - section is clover - leaf - shaped with a small number of serrations around it, without a skin - core structure. In terms of thermal properties, as an amorphous polymer, it has the characteristics of "three states and two transitions" when heated. After reaching the melting point, it enters the thermal decomposition stage and cannot be directly melt - processed. Its dry strength is lower than that of viscose and polyester, and the strength loss in the wet state is relatively large, with the remaining strength being about 70% of the dry strength. There are also significant changes in the breaking elongation between the dry and wet states. In terms of filtration and adsorption, it has multiple methods for trapping particulate matter, such as direct interception and inertial impaction, and it has a selective filtration and adsorption capacity for cigarette tar.
Globally, 95% of cigarettes use cellulose acetate as the filter material. This is because of its firm texture, non - toxicity, odorlessness, and good stability. It can effectively filter harmful components while retaining a certain amount of nicotine to maintain the flavor of cigarettes.
