It is a type of acetate fiber that is spun into tow (a bundle of fibers) and used to make the filter portion of a cigarette. Acetate tow is widely used because of its ability to capture and filter certain components of smoke, such as tar and nicotine, while maintaining the structural integrity of the cigarette filter. 95% of cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate, with the rest made of paper and rayon
Core applications
Tobacco field: As the core material of cigarette filters, a single bundle is often composed of 5,000 filaments with a fineness of 3.33 dtex
Medical materials: Use its biocompatibility to make medical supplies
Industrial use: Manufacturing cigarette pack transfer coatings, vacuum aluminum transfer films, etc.
