Description

Acetate Tow is the major raw material in producing filter rods of cigarette

 

After a processing system of stretching, gathering, setting the shape and then being wrapped by tissue paper, at last the filter rod is made according to customers requirements on specification.
The filter rod used for cigarettes can greatly reduce the hazardous material such as tar and nicotine, meantime the taste and aroma of the exquisite bouquet of tobacco is well preserved.
Owing to it is clean, no unwanted smell, has a steady chemical structure and a good filtration effects, it's very popular by cigarette manufacturers in the world.

 

Features

ingredient

The filter tow is a bundle of materials made from fibers through a special process, and its main components include:

Cellulose Acetate

The most common material used in cigarette filters.

01

Polypropylene (Polypropylene) 

It is used in industrial filtration materials.

02

Polyester

Used in high-efficiency filtration equipment

03

Other fibers

Such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc., for special filtration needs.

04

 

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process for the filter tow typically includes the following steps:

Fiber preparation

The raw material is made into fiber by spinning process.

Cluster forming

The fibers are clustered into strands, and are stretched and shaped.

Post-treatment

dyeing, coating or other functional treatment as required.

Cutting and packaging

The tow is cut to the required length and packaged.

 

Apply

 

The application of filter tow in the tobacco industry is particularly important, especially in the manufacture of cigarette filters. The main function of cigarette filters is to reduce the harmful substances inhaled when smoking, such as tar, nicotine and other particles, thereby reducing the harm to health. Filter tow is typically made of cellulose acetate, a material with high filtration efficiency, good flexibility and low toxicity that is ideal for use in products that come into direct contact with the human body.

During the manufacturing process, the filter tow is compressed and wrapped in the outer material of the filter, forming a highly efficient filter structure. Its porosity and the tiny gap between the fibers can effectively trap harmful substances in the smoke, while maintaining air circulation, so that smokers feel comfortable suction and taste. In addition, cellulose acetate tow also has good biodegradability and is more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials.

In addition to the filtering function, the filter tow also provides structural support for the cigarette filter, making it stable in shape and easy to process and use. With the strengthening of global tobacco control policies and the improvement of consumer health awareness, the demand for cigarette filters continues to grow, and the filter tow, as its core material, plays an indispensable role in the tobacco industry. Its efficient filtration performance and environmental protection characteristics make it an irreplaceable key material in cigarette manufacturing.
