- peeled filter material e.g. of cellulose acetate
- processing usually takes place in such a way that the filter material strip after pulling off the bale, first loosened by air nozzles and widened and then stretched longitudinally in a stretching zone becomes.
- the filter material strip is then included Plasticizer wets, which makes the surface of the threads or fibers sticky does what they stick to.
- the strip prepared in this way is then gathered together to form the strand, encased and easier in individual filter rods or cut multiple lengths of use.
- the plasticizer mentioned which is usually triacetin, forms a solvent for the filter material. When wetting the fiber surfaces the plasticizer dissolves them and can glue at contact points. For curing the fiber connections formed in this way the concentration of the plasticizer in the dissolved filter material be reduced. This is done by diffusing the plasticizer inside the fibers, causing a spread of the plasticizer on a much larger amount of material and thus the desired dilution is achieved. As with most chemical processes, it depends Speed of this diffusion depends on the temperature, with an increased Temperature leads to accelerated curing.
