Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cigarette paper which imparts self-extinguishing properties to a cigarette made therefrom, wherein the required paper properties can be adjusted with little effort. More particularly, it relates to a cigarette paper which is partially treated with a composition which reduces the diffusion capacity of the cigarette paper and contains a filler having a specific crystal structure, particle shape or particle size, and a process for producing this paper and a cigarette made from this paper.
- a smoldering cigarette on a defined substrate for example, 10 layers of the filter paper Whatman no. 2, and observe whether the cigarette extinguished by itself, before the entire visible tobacco rod is burned out.
- the legal provisions require that of 40 tested cigarettes at least 30 have to extinguish themselves.
- One way to achieve the self-extinction of a cigarette in this test is to apply a composition in portions to the cigarette paper which reduces the diffusion capacity of the cigarette paper.
- the workings of these subregions are based primarily on preventing the access of oxygen to the cigarette's glow cone and thus lead to self-extinction of the cigarette. Since the access of oxygen during glaring is determined primarily by the difference in concentration between the interior of the cigarette and the environment, that is to say by the diffusion, it is important to choose the diffusion capacity of these subregions to be sufficiently low.
- the measurement of the diffusion capacity of such subregions can be carried out with a corresponding measuring instrument from Borgwaldt KC (Borgwaldt A50) according to the CORESTA Recommended Method no. 77 done.
- cigarettes with a smaller diameter are generally easier to extinguish by themselves and a greater length of the tobacco rod is also beneficial for self-extinguishing, if only because, given the design of the portions, more of the portions of the tobacco rod treated with the composition will usually be more Cigarette are as with a short tobacco rod.
- compositions are known in the art, which can be applied in some areas on the paper. Often these are water-based compositions comprising at least one film-forming material. This film-forming material forms a superficial film upon drying of the paper after application, thus closing the pores of the paper and thus reducing the diffusion capacity. Other materials which instead penetrate into the pores of the paper are also known.
- the composition also contains pigments. These pigments can impart a color to the subregions, but in many cases are white to match the opacity and whiteness of the treated subregions to those of the untreated paper, making them very less visible.
- the application of the composition to the paper can be carried out according to the state of the art by all possible application methods, printing or spraying methods having proven themselves.
- the job can be done after the production of the untreated paper or during papermaking in the paper machine.
- the manufacturer of cigarette papers for self-extinguishing cigarettes is therefore required to provide a paper in which the diffusion capacity in the sub-areas is tailored to the entire cigarette construction that the legal requirements are being met, but the diffusion capacity is not unnecessarily low. Therefore, the cigarette paper manufacturer must be able to adjust the diffusion capacity of these subregions with as efficient a means as possible in the largest possible range so that even smaller quantities of such paper can be produced cost-efficiently.
- the prior art allows several ways to adjust the diffusion capacity of the treated portions of the cigarette paper.
- One possibility is to adjust the geometry of the treated sections. The smaller the treated area, the less likely it is to self-extinguish.
- changing the geometry of the treated areas is not very efficient because, for example, in printing processes such as gravure printing, it requires changing the printing cylinder, which takes some time and reduces productivity.
- a pressure cylinder and possibly also a reserve cylinder must be purchased and stored for each candidate geometry. The process is therefore relatively expensive for small production batches.
- Another possibility is to vary the amount of composition per unit area of treated sections applied to the cigarette paper. Again, this can be done with a printing process, such as gravure, with the help of the printing cylinder.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a cigarette paper which has a defined diffusion capacity in treated partial regions and can be produced cost-effectively.
- the object is accordingly achieved by applying to the cigarette paper in subregions a composition containing filler particles or a mixture of filler particles, wherein a desired diffusion capacity of the subregions can be adjusted by the crystal structure, shape and size distribution of these filler particles.
- the present invention is based on the recognition that the diffusion capacity in the treated areas - with otherwise the same composition and weight fraction - depending on the properties shape, crystal structure and particle size distribution of the filler can change, to an extent that allows it to adjust the diffusion capacity for a variety of base papers and cigarette configurations, respectively, to give the appropriate diffusion capacity.
- the "suitable diffusion capacity” is, for example, a diffusion capacity which leads to a reliable self-extinction in an ISO 12863: 2010 or ASTM E2187 test, but at the same time prevents the cigarette from automatically extinguishing during the normal smoking process of the filler according to one or more of the above three criteria is of particular technical importance because the other properties of the composition which have an influence on the processing process do not change, or at least do not change significantly, this would be different if, for example, the diffusion capacity exceeds adjusted the weight fraction of the filler because this would change the macroscopic physical properties of the composition, especially the viscosity, so that the entire processing process would be affected.
- the inventors have also found that the diffusion capacity of the portions of the cigarette paper can be reduced under otherwise unchanged conditions when at least a portion of the filler particles in the composition have a cubic shape (feature
- the inventors have found that the diffusion capacity of the portions of the cigarette paper is otherwise in a middle range under otherwise unchanged conditions when at least a portion of the filler particles in the composition have a scalenohedral or rhombohedral crystal structure.
- the inventors have found that the diffusion capacity can be adjusted depending on a simple particle size distribution parameter of this filler.
- fillers with a rhombohedral and scalenohedral crystal structure have the potential to have a diffusion capacity higher than that of an otherwise similar composition with geologically degraded lime Filler results to increase (features (b) and (c)) and - in the case of scalenohedral crystal structure - to reduce (feature (e)).
- the diffusion capacity can thus be adjusted on the basis of a dimensionless parameter p derived from the particle size distribution.
- the average particle size d 5 o which is related to the distribution width dgo-dio, is the parameter especially suitable for this.
- the parameter p is chosen to be at least 0.4, preferably at least 0.45 and at most 0.6, preferably at most 0.55.
- the parameter p either low, ie at least 0 and at most 0.3, preferably at most 0.25 and particularly preferably at most 0.2, or high, namely at least 0.7, preferably at least 0.8 and more preferably at least 0.85 and especially at least 0.9.
- the dimensionless parameter derived from the particle size distribution can be determined adjust the diffusion capacity.
- the parameter p is selected to be at least 0.1, preferably at least 0.2 and at most 0.5, preferably at most 0.4.
- the parameter p high ie at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.6 and more preferably at least 0.7.
- the proportion of these filler particles in the total amount of filler particles in the composition should be at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 50% by weight and more preferably at least 70 wt .-% amount. The higher the content of the filler particles, the more manifest the effect on the diffusion capacity associated with their shape.
- the particles regardless of their shape have a mean size d 5 o ⁇ of at least 0.1, preferably at least 0.3 and particularly preferably ⁇ ⁇ have at least 0.5.
- the average size d 5 o should be at most 10 ⁇ , preferably at most 7 ⁇ and more preferably at most 5 ⁇ .
- platelet-shaped or cubic filler has a mean size d 5 o of at least 0.5 ⁇ , preferably at least 1.0 ⁇ , and of at most 5 ⁇ and preferably of at most 3 ⁇ proven.
- For platelet-shaped filler particles is an area for the distribution parameter of at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.6 to at most 1.0, preferably at most 0.9 well suited.
- the platelet-shaped filler particles have a length 1, a width b and a thickness d, which correspond to the respective maximum dimensions in three mutually orthogonal spatial directions, both the length 1 and the width b at least twice as large, preferably at least four times are as big as the thickness d.
- the length 1 and the width b will usually be different from each other, but should differ by a factor of less than 5, preferably less than 3 and more preferably less than 2.
- the length 1, the width b and the thickness d could, for example, correspond to the edge lengths of the cuboid, ie it is by no means necessary that the length 1 correspond to the longest dimension of the particle which, in the case of an idealized cuboid, corresponds to the cuboid Room diagonal would correspond.
- the length 1 will be greater than or equal to the width b and in turn differ by a factor of 2.5 or less from the longest spatial direction of the particle.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a platelet-shaped filler particle in which the length 1, width b and thickness d are shown.
- the filler particles are preferably white so that the treated portions of the cigarette paper visually differ as little as possible from untreated areas of the same cigarette paper.
- the filler particles may be metal salts, metal oxides or metal hydroxides, such as, for example, preferably calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide.
- Iron oxides can be used, but are not preferred because they are generally not white but often red, brown, yellow or black. However, they can be chosen favorably for colored cigarette papers.
- a preferred filler is calcium carbonate and particularly precipitated calcium carbonate, because it is purer than geologically degraded, and thus the purity requirements of cigarette paper are easier to meet.
- mineral forms of the calcium carbonate of the invention such as calcite, aragonite and vaterite, with which the invention can be realized in principle, calcite is preferred because of its ready availability.
- the proportion of the filler of the invention in the composition may vary.
- the filler should contain at least 1% by weight, preferably at least 3% by weight and at most 20% by weight, preferably at most 10% by weight.
- the content of the filler in the composition is determined primarily by how much the other constituents of the composition are capable of reducing the diffusion capacity. It is possible, but not according to the invention, to change the diffusion capacity by changing the amount of filler in the composition. However, this also affects the viscosity of the composition, which may require additional adjustments in the application process, for example at speed. temperatures or drying temperatures.
- the content of the filler in the composition should remain constant and the diffusion capacity should be adjusted only by changing the shape, crystal structure and size of the filler particles.
- the composition itself first comprises a solvent, but the term "solvent" is not intended to mean that it is a solution in the narrower chemical sense. In most cases, the fluoride particles will be suspended in the solvent but will not be dissolved. Water is a particularly preferred solvent because it is toxicologically safe and does not interfere with the smell and taste of the paper. For reasons of taste and to avoid contamination, drinking water quality water is particularly preferred. The use of distilled or de-ionised water is possible, but brings no additional benefits.
- solvents such as ethanol or ethyl acetate, although not preferred, have at least the advantages over water of allowing them to evaporate on drying with lower temperatures and less energy and not causing wrinkles by swelling the fibers in the paper. Mixtures of solvents can also be used.
- the composition also comprises at least one material which is capable of reducing its diffusion capacity when applied to cigarette paper.
- a material is preferably film-forming.
- film-forming materials selected from a group consisting of starch, starch derivatives, cellulose, cellulose derivatives, dextrins, guar or gum arabic and alginates, or mixtures thereof. Very particular preference is given to oxidized starches and sodium alginate.
- the proportion of the diffusion capacity reducing material in the composition can vary widely and is determined primarily by how much the material is capable of reducing the diffusion capacity and the viscosity of the composition for the application process.
- the material which reduces the diffusion capacity will be present in the composition in a proportion of at least 0.1% by weight, preferably at least 1% by weight and more preferably at least 3% by weight.
- the material should be at most 40% by weight, preferably at most 30% by weight and more preferably at most 25% by weight of the composition.
- the diffusion capacity on the change of Content or the nature of the diffusion capacity reducing material in the composition to control but the content and the material should remain unchanged and only the nature of the filler can be varied so that the viscosity and other process parameters do not change as possible.
- the application in a printing process in particular in intaglio or flexographic printing, has a composition with a flow time of at least 10 s, preferably at least 12 s and at most 35 s, preferably at most 25 s, measured with a flow cup with 4 mm opening according to ⁇ NORM EN ISO 2431: 2011 at a temperature of the composition of 60 ° C, proven.
- the amount of material applied in the subregions of the cigarette paper, expressed as mass per application surface in the dried state is at least 0.5 g / m 2 , preferably at least 1 g / m 2 and / or at most 12 g / m 2 , preferably at most 8 g / m 2 . With such order quantities, the desired diffusion capacity can be achieved in an advantageous manner.
- the cigarette paper can also be heated before the measurement.
- the cigarette paper is stored in a preheated to 230 ° C oven for 30 minutes under air atmosphere, then removed from the oven and conditioned according to ISO 187: 1990.
- the measurement of the diffusion capacity is carried out according to CORESTA Recommended Method No. 77 with a Borgwaldt A50 meter from Borgwaldt KC.
- composition can be carried out by all known from the prior art method, in particular by printing or spraying.
- gravure or flexographic printing are particularly well suited.
- the application can be done in one or more layers with or without drying of the paper between the application procedures, whereby due to the necessary registration, i. Positioning, the individual layers to each other an order in as few layers, especially in only one layer is preferred. In the case where multiple layers are applied, it is not necessary that all layers be identical in shape and amount applied, and even in composition.
- the diffusion capacity which is already known in part from the prior art, but usually accessible to the skilled worker by simple experimentation. The principle of the subject invention remains applicable.
- the application of waterborne compositions may be associated with the formation of wrinkles on the paper which may be remedied by further treatment such as post-wetting of the paper followed by drying under mechanical tension.
- substances for reducing wrinkling such as propylene glycol or glycerin, may be included in the composition.
- the invention is easily combinable with many further treatment steps of the cigarette paper, as the person skilled in the art can easily determine experimentally. These include, for example, embossing, imprinting patterns to improve the appearance or coating with substances for influencing the composition of the smoke of a cigarette made from this paper, in particular the substances known as "Hoffmann analytes" in the smoke. These steps may be performed on the paper before or after the application of the composition, as required.
- the cigarette paper may also contain salts, for example to control the rate of glowing or other paper properties, including, for example, citrates, acetates or phosphates, malaria, tartrates, nitrates, succinates, fumarates, gluconates, glycolates, lactates, oxylates , Salicylates, ⁇ -hydroxycaprylates, bicarbonates, carbonates such as tri-sodium citrate, tri-potassium citrate or monoammonium phosphate. They are preferably contained in the range from 0% to 7% by weight of the pulp and are typically applied to the paper from an aqueous solution in the size press or film press of the paper machine or a separate device. Other substances, such as dyes, may be added to the cigarette paper as long as they are legally permitted and toxicologically safe.
- the method for producing the cigarette paper comprises the following steps:
- the composition does not become in a process as a whole, i. H. including the filler, formed.
- a preliminary composition which contains a solvent and a material capable of reducing the diffusion capacity of the cigarette paper but not yet the filler, at least not yet in the final amount.
- From this preliminary composition is then branched a portion to which a filler or mixture of fillers is added to form a first composition while initially retaining a (possibly large) portion of the preliminary composition.
- a comparatively small amount of base cigarette paper can then be treated, and it can be checked whether the diffusion capacity in the treated areas is reduced to the desired extent.
- the preliminary composition in larger quantities and thus can be produced economically, while initially only a part of it is added to a first composition. If the first composition turns out to give the desired reduction in diffusion capacity in the treated areas, another part or all of the rest of the preliminary composition may also be supplemented with the same choice of filler or fillers.
- the addition of the fillers to the respective branched portion of the preliminary composition in the applicator or in a supply line to the applicator for applying the first and second composition is made.
- the admixture of the filler can thus be varied "on-line" during the application process, so that a suitable filler or a suitable filler mixture can be determined in a simple manner and with a comparatively small amount of rejects.
- the continuous supply of a preliminary composition for transfer with fillers is meant as a "diversion" of a portion of the preliminary composition, because always only a portion of the preliminary composition is filled with fillers and the possibility exists that different proportions of the preliminary composition are mixed with different fillers.
- the method for producing a cigarette paper comprises the following steps:
- C at least approximately measuring the diffusion capacity in a treated area
- D determining whether the measured diffusion capacity deviates from a So 11 value
- E in the event that a deviation between the measured diffusion capacity and the set point exceeds a predetermined threshold, providing a modified composition which is at least in the composition of step B therein distinguishes that at least a portion of the first filler is replaced by a second filler that differs from the first filler by one of the shape, crystal structure, and particle size distribution characteristics to reduce the deviation of the diffusion capacity from the target value.
- the at least approximately measurement of the diffusion capacity preferably takes place by measuring transmission, absorption and / or reflection of electromagnetic radiation.
- the diffusion capacity can not be determined as accurately as by the methods described above, this has the advantage that the diffusion capacity can be determined "on-line", that is, during the treatment process.
- the second filler is formed at least partially by one or more of the above-mentioned filler particle types (a) - (c). Should the diffusion capacity measured in step D be above the setpoint, the second filler may be formed, at least in part, by one or both of the above filler particle types (d) and (e).
- the method is not limited to this. Instead, it can also use other types of filler particles that have the desired effect on the diffusion capacity.
- the composition contains two types of filler, which differ with respect to one of the characteristics shape, crystal structure and particle size distribution and of which one filler - at the same weight fraction and otherwise same composition - leads to a higher diffusion capacity in the treated area than the other.
- step E the proportionate ratio of the two fillers in the composition to the composition of step B is changed to reduce the deviation of the diffusion capacity from the target value.
- FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the dimensionless distribution parameter p of the particle size distribution and the diffusion capacity for scaleneohedral fillers.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a platelet-shaped filler particle, in which the length 1, the width b and the thickness d are drawn.
- FIG. 4 shows a table with diffusion capacities and viscosity values for different filler types when using a first base paper A.
- the composition applied to the paper is an aqueous composition consisting of 13% by weight of oxidized starch, 0.5% by weight of cationic starch and 6% by weight of lime as filler.
- the composition was prepared according to the instructions of the manufacturer of diert starch produced. A total of 13 different fillers were selected according to FIG. 4 and in each case one of the fillers was suspended in the composition.
- the flow time of the composition as a measure of the viscosity was determined using an outlet cup with an opening of 4 mm in accordance with ⁇ NORM EN ISO 2431: 2011 at a temperature of the composition of 60 ° C. and is shown in FIG. 4.
- the cigarette paper was stored in a heated oven at 230 ° C for 30 minutes under an air atmosphere, then removed from the oven and conditioned according to ISO 187: 1990 Diffusion capacity was then carried out according to CORESTA Recommended Method No. 77 using a Borgwaldt A50 measuring instrument from Borgwaldt KC.
- both cigarette papers had an average diffusion capacity of 2.17 cm / s calculated from 10 individual values.
- the order of the composition was carried out by means of a gravure printing unit according to the prior art in a layer on the screen side of the original, so not heated, cigarette paper, in the form of 6 mm wide oriented in the transverse direction of the paper bands with a distance of tape center to center of 27 mm , After the job, the paper was dried.
- the now provided with the composition paper was stored in a preheated to 230 ° C oven for 30 minutes under air atmosphere, then removed from the oven and according to ISO 187: 1990 conditioned.
- the measurement of the diffusion capacity was then carried out according to CORESTA Recommended Method no. 77 with a Borgwaldt A50 meter from Borgwaldt KC at 10 different places.
- the mean values of the diffusion capacities are given in Tables 1 and 2 of FIGS. 4 and 5.
- geologically degraded and ground lime from Examples 8 and 23 serves as a reference point.
- FIG. 1 shows the curve px (pl) + 0.6 in cm / s and illustrates the good correlation of this size with the diffusion capacity.
- the correlation coefficient is more than 0.94.
- Examples 12 and 26 show a mixture of calcite and aragonite, with a primarily scalenoedric crystal structure. The data is shown as a small square in Figure 1 and fits well into the image for scalenohedral fillers. In FIG.
- FIG. 2 shows the values of the distribution parameter p and the diffusion capacities for papers to which a composition with a rhombohedral filler has been applied. It can be clearly seen that FIG At low value for p, for example p ⁇ 0.5, a low diffusion capacity can be achieved and thus a decrease in the diffusion capacity compared to the untreated cigarette paper by a factor of more than about 5, while for values of p> 0.5 it is high Diffusion capacities, that is, a decrease by a factor of less than about 5.
- the line in Figure 2 shows the curve 3px (p-0.6) +0.7 in cm / s and illustrates the good correlation of this size with the diffusion capacity. The correlation coefficient is more than 0.98. Whether for particularly low values of the distribution parameter p an increase of the diffusion capacity results for rhombohedral fillers can not be reliably determined from the data. However, one skilled in the art will be able to determine this by simple experimentation.
- the flow time of the composition is a measure of viscosity and, in all of the examples, is in the relatively narrow interval of 14.3 s to 16.5 s, so all the compositions can be processed similarly without further changes in process parameters.
- the advantage of a rapid adjustment of the diffusion capacity for small production batches and, depending on the method, without significant delay in the conversion of the diffusion capacity can be realized.
- a particular advantage of the invention is that without modification of the process parameters or the chemical constituents of the composition to be applied. Settlement, simply by choosing a suitable crystal structure, shape or size of the filler particles, the diffusion capacity can be influenced.
- the invention can therefore be implemented particularly advantageously in the following method.
- a cigarette paper is provided to which the composition is to be applied in some areas.
- a preliminary composition comprising at least the solvent and a material for reducing the diffusion capacity, but at most insignificant amounts of the fillers according to the invention. This can preferably be done in a storage container.
- this step may comprise suspending the starch or starch derivative in water, heating the suspension, lingering at an elevated temperature, and cooling. All of these steps can be done with concomitant stirring of this preliminary composition.
- the next step is to select the type of filler particles based on the diffusion capacity of the treated portions on the cigarette paper.
- the starting point for the following considerations is the diffusion capacity of the subregions of a cigarette paper which is treated in these subregions with a composition containing as filler a geologically degraded lime having an average particle size of about 2.38 ⁇ m.
- Terms such as “high”, “higher”, “lower”, “lower” or “middle” in terms of diffusion capacity are to be understood relative to this reference point.
- a platelet-shaped filler is selected.
- the distribution parameter should be preferred here at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.6 and at most 1.0, preferably at most 0.9.
- the distribution parameter should be preferred here at least 0.2, preferably at least 0.3 and at most 0.7, preferably at most 0.6.
- a scalenohedral crystal structure filler whose distribution parameter leads to the desired diffusion capacity.
- a filler having a value of p greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.3, preferably less than or equal to 0.25 and particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.2, or alternatively a filler having a value of p> 0.7, preferably> 0.8, particularly preferably> 0.85 and in particular> 0.9 choose.
- p should be ⁇ 1.2, preferably ⁇ 1.0.
- the distribution parameter p of the scalenohedral filler > 0.3, preferably> 0.4 and ⁇ 0.7, preferably ⁇ 0.6.
- the range of 0.45 ⁇ p ⁇ 0.55 is particularly suitable for reducing the diffusion capacity.
- a rhombohedral crystal structure filler may also be used, with respect to its distribution parameter leads to the desired diffusion capacity.
- a filler having a value of p> 0.5, preferably> 0.6 and more preferably p> 0.7, and preferably less than 1.0, will preferably be less than 0.8.
- the orientation is advantageously based on the information given above. Preference is given to precipitated calcium carbonate and particularly preferably calcite.
- the next step is to disperse the filler in the preliminary composition. It is essential for the invention that the filler is not as common is added to the entire provisional composition prepared in the first step, but only part of it. The amount of filler added to this portion of the preliminary composition will be consistent with the desired concentration of filler in the final composition. This allows the production of smaller quantities of the finished composition so that smaller batches of the paper can be made. In addition, it allows the rapid and easy change of the diffusion capacity by changing the filler without having to recreate the preliminary composition.
- the dispersion of the filler in a portion of the preliminary composition can be accomplished in a variety of ways.
- filler first in a solvent, for example by stirring, preferably using the same solvent as for the preliminary composition, and then adding the filler suspension to the preliminary composition while transferring the latter to the applicator.
- a solvent for example by stirring, preferably using the same solvent as for the preliminary composition, and then adding the filler suspension to the preliminary composition while transferring the latter to the applicator.
- fillers are often already prepared as an aqueous suspension ("slur- ry”) and not as a dry powder or are commercially available.
- the preliminary composition may for example be pumped from the storage tank in a pipe to the applicator and the filler suspension is, preferably by pumping, introduced into the same pipeline in the required amount.
- Very particularly preferred is a method in which the flow in the pipeline is turbulent and thus the mixing of the filler suspension takes place as quickly as possible with the preliminary composition.
- the method can be used particularly advantageously if the dead volume of the lines, containers and devices is as small as possible until the composition is applied to the paper. This will be the case, for example, when applied by spraying. In this way, a change in the type of filler in a very short time on the diffusion capacity of the treated portions on the cigarette paper impact, for example, without stopping the applicator.
- the finished composition of the applicator is then fed and applied to the paper in partial areas.
- the usual methods such as printing methods, in particular gravure printing and flexographic printing, or spraying methods are available. After that, the paper is dried.
- the diffusion capacity of the portions of the cigarette paper is measured. This can be done by sampling, off-line, on a separate meter, such as a Borgwaldt KC (Borgwaldt A50) instrument according to CORESTA Recommended Method no. 77 happen, or in the current order device, so on-line. Since a direct measurement of the diffusion capacity on-line is difficult, it can be estimated from other quantities such as transmission, absorption or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. Such an estimate may be made by image-analytical means, for example, the transparency of the electromagnetic-wave paper having a wavelength of at least 100 nm and at most 500 nm.
- This comparison of the intensities must be synchronized with the presence of treated portions in the range of the sensor.
- the obtained measured value is then compared with the desired value and the difference is transferred to an adjusting device which changes the proportions of the fillers fed to the preliminary composition. For example, if one measures too low a diffusion capacity and wishes to increase the diffusion capacity, one will reduce the amount of cubic calcite and increase that of platy calcite. If the difference is too high Fusion capacity will be reversed accordingly.
- This can be done, for example, by adjusting the flow rates by means of a flow regulator.
- the adjustment of the proportions is done so that the total amount of filler in the composition does not change.
- this process can of course also be carried out with a mixture of two or more fillers of a different shape or crystal structure, for example cubic and scalene-oedric, or platelet-shaped and rhombohedral, or cubic, scalenohedral and platelet-shaped or cubic, rhombohedral and platelet-shaped.
- two rhombohedral fillers may also be used which, in terms of the value px (p-.6), have the distribution parameter sufficiently different. Preference is given to choosing a filler having a value of p> 0.1, preferably> 0.2 and ⁇ 0.5, preferably ⁇ 0.4 and with a filler having a value of p> 0.5, preferably> 0.6 and ⁇ 1.0, preferably ⁇ 0.8.
- the principle is always, regardless of shape, crystal structure and particle size distribution, to combine two or more fillers which give substantially different diffusion capacities in the partial areas on the cigarette paper. It is also possible to mix two or more fillers of the same shape but different particle size distribution or even different chemical compounds according to this control method. However, the mixture of two fillers is preferred because the control method can then be designed simply. The use of said mixtures is of course possible without this rule.
- inventive and preferred distribution parameter intervals generally apply to the use of filler particles having the particular shape or crystal structure, regardless of whether the filler is used alone or in a mixture of two or more fillers.
- cigarettes can be produced manually, manually or partially manually according to the methods of the prior art.
