Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filter and / or filler material for mouthpieces for use with tobacco products or FINB products and the use of such a filter and / or filler material in mouthpieces for tobacco products or in cigarette filters or in mouthpieces for HNB products. According to another aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing such a filter and / or filler material.
- Tobacco products within the meaning of the present invention relate to classic tobacco products, in particular cigarettes, but also pipes and marijuana products and so-called heat-not-burn (HNB) products, vaping products and so-called hybrid products.
- HNB heat-not-burn
- mouthpieces for the use of smoking products have different functions.
- mouthpieces can serve as a filter device in order, for example, to pull out harmful components, such as condensed substances such as tar, as well as particulate matter entrained by the smoke stream, from a tobacco smoke stream.
- This filter function is used in particular in classic tobacco applications.
- a corresponding The mouthpiece can be designed as an integral part of a cigarette or a cigarillo and thus form a "tip" on the cigarette or on the cigarillo.
- mouthpieces are replaceable devices, such as replaceable filter elements that can be removed after use. Such mouthpieces are received in corresponding holders, for example in a cigarette holder or in a pipe mouthpiece.
- a mouthpiece designed as an integral part of a cigarette is the cigarette filter.
- the cigarette filter is intended to prevent the proportion of harmful substances such as condensate and gases in the smoke of the cigarette. In addition, the smoke is perceived as somewhat milder or more pleasant by a large proportion of smokers through the filter.
- the filter In the case of a classic filter cigarette, the filter is wrapped in a filter wrapping paper and is coupled to the tobacco rod with what is known as tipping paper, with most industrially manufactured cigarettes being provided with a filter. Do-it-yourselfers can buy these in tobacco shops.
- filter materials Numerous types of filter materials have already been used, particularly in order to reduce the content of the constituents of tobacco smoke before it reaches the smoker's respiratory system. In addition to removing the harmful components in large quantities, a satisfactory filter must also be effective without undesirably hindering the passage of air or smoke through the filter, so that too strong a draft is required. When used in tobacco smoke filters, however, the filter material must not change the taste of the tobacco smoke by adding its own taste.
- Another essential factor in the production of a satisfactory tobacco smoke filter is that its production is not too expensive so that the final price of the smoking article in which the filter is used does not rise too high.
- the present invention relates less to filter materials for the classic tobacco applications described above, but in particular to filter and / or filling materials for mouthpieces for the use of tobacco products, these filter and / or filling materials in particular having other functions than just a filter function.
- a filter function of the mouthpieces is by no means in the foreground. This applies, for example, to heat-not-burn products ("HNB products”), which have enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years.
- HNB products heat-not-burn products
- a portion of processed tobacco is heated by a heat source during use, but not burned volatile tobacco constituents such as flavorings, nicotine, glycerin and water are carried away by the air drawn by the user through the HNB product, and as the released substances cool, an aerosol is formed which is inhaled by the user.
- HNB products usually include a device consisting of a power supply that supplies a heating element and a separate consumer item consisting of a portion of processed tobacco, a support element, such as a tubular cellulose acetate segment, a so-called cooling element downstream in the flow direction, for example in Shape of a crimped polylactide film, which is gathered into a cylinder with many axial channels, as well as a mouth-side filter.
- a device consisting of a power supply that supplies a heating element and a separate consumer item consisting of a portion of processed tobacco, a support element, such as a tubular cellulose acetate segment, a so-called cooling element downstream in the flow direction, for example in Shape of a crimped polylactide film, which is gathered into a cylinder with many axial channels, as well as a mouth-side filter.
- the consumables are placed in the device before use in such a way that the heating element heats the portion of tobacco when the HNB product is used.
- IQOS / HEETS product For example, in a so-called IQOS / HEETS product from Philip Morris, the tobacco portion is impaled on a heating sheet in the device.
- An IQOS / HEETS product is an IQOS device marketed by Philip Morris with the associated HEETS consumable.
- the HEETS consumable is a heat-not-burn product in which tobacco is simply heated instead of being burned.
- a competitor product from BAT heats the tobacco from the outside, the so-called cooling element being replaced by a tube.
- a portion of processed tobacco is heated by a heat source during use, but not burned.
- volatile tobacco products evaporate components such as flavorings, nicotine, glycerine and water are carried away by the air drawn by the user through the HNB product, and as the released substances cool down, an aerosol is formed which is inhaled by the user.
- the consumables known for this application have the disadvantage that their mouth-side filters can heat up considerably due to their proximity to the heating element and due to the hot steam generated when the HNB product is used.
- an aerosol former is first evaporated (propylene glycol, glycerine), then an aerosol is created by cooling. This aerosol is passed through a serving of processed tobacco and inhaled by the consumer. In such applications, too, the mouthpiece has the particular function of protecting the user-side end against heating that is unpleasant for the user.
- HNB consumables In contrast to conventional tobacco products in which tobacco is burned, it may be desirable for HNB consumables that the elements downstream of the heated tobacco portion in the flow direction, such as cooling element and mouth-side filter, only have a low filtering effect with regard to condensed components such as tar have, since these smoke components can arise in much smaller quantities.
- the materials required to form a mouthpiece for tobacco products must therefore be adapted and in particular adaptable to the physical properties of the smoke (temperature, flow profile, etc.) and to the chemical composition.
- target parameters that must be set or fulfilled by a suitable choice and configuration of the mouthpiece materials. In particular, these are the following target parameters, which are briefly discussed below:
- the hardness of the filter rod is an important target criterion for cigarette filters. It is usually given as the so-called Filtrona hardness.
- the Filtrona hardness is determined by placing a cylindrical rod 12 mm in diameter with its flat Chen face is pressed vertically with a load of 300 g onto a horizontally positioned filter rod. The ratio of the compressed diameter to the initial diameter previously determined by the first contact gives the percentage of the Filtrona hardness.
- Filtrona hardness is only measured on a filter, but not on the underlying filter (raw) material.
- the triacetin sprayed on all cigarette filters affects the Filtrona hardness.
- the minimum limit for Filtrona hardness is around 88% and is based on market requirements.
- the Filtrona hardness of the cigarette filter can preferably be set to about 88% to 95%, in particular about 90% to 93%.
- the Filtrona hardness is essentially determined by the fiber weight per unit volume.
- the filament titer has only a minor influence on the Filtrona hardness.
- a higher Filtrona hardness is achieved by using a thicker filter wrapper paper or a thicker tipping paper.
- a tipping paper is a paper with which either several filter elements are coupled to one another or filter elements are coupled to the tobacco rod.
- increasing the Filtrona hardness by using a thicker filter wrap paper or tipping paper has economic disadvantages as this approach is expected to be more expensive.
- the so-called "hot collapse” is related to the Filtrona hardness, in which the filter hardness decreases during smoking. This can occur in particular if the filter of a classic cigarette warms up in the presence of moisture during one of the last puffs. This also applies to FINB products this undesirable effect can occur.
- the mouthpiece material In addition to a Filtrona hardness that is as constant and high as possible when a smoking product is used, the mouthpiece material should also exhibit a filtration performance that has been determined or can be determined in advance.
- the filtration performance in relation to condensed matter (droplets, particles) is also known as condensate or tar of interest in the case of conventional tobacco products and HNB products, since a large number of substances with negative health relevance can be found in the condensed matter.
- the filtration capacity is selected in order to adjust the "delivery" of the cigarette (content of smoke ingredients in the main stream smoke) Determination limited. Below the legal limit, the "delivery" can be adapted to the preferences of the consumers.
- the filter (in addition to setting the "delivery") is used to set the draw resistance of the cigarette.
- the draft resistance contribution of the mouth-side filter (mouthpiece) should be as low as possible, since the other components of the HBN device, in particular the heated tobacco portion and the device, already have a high draft resistance contribution.
- a low draw resistance of the filter (mouthpiece) leads to degrees of freedom in the other components of the HBN device, which is desirable.
- the draw resistance and the filtration performance can be reduced by reducing the filter length. But as soon as the filter length becomes smaller than the filter diameter, the processability becomes problematic. Also a shorter filter leads to a shorter cooling section, which is problematic for the heat balance.
- the draw resistance and the filtration performance can be reduced by reducing the fiber weight in the filter material per volume and / or the total denier.
- this has the disadvantage that the Filtrona hardness decreases and, under certain circumstances, the minimum hardness can no longer be achieved.
- the draw resistance and the filtration performance can be reduced by increasing the filament denier.
- the filtration performance and the draw resistance are reduced as the filament titre increases, which is desirable for FINB products compared to conventional products. Since, as stated above, the Filtrona hardness hardly depends on the filament titer, the hardness is not negatively influenced either.
- the consumer prefers a mouthpiece with a flat, white cross-sectional area on the mouth side.
- the target parameter it should be noted that the consumer prefers a mouthpiece with a flat, white cross-sectional area on the mouth side.
- products that are formed into a tube on the mouth side.
- the smoking temperature is not a problem with conventional products today.
- the smoking temperature is noticeably high and uncomfortably high for some consumers.
- commercial HNB products require cooling to cool the evaporated components so that an aerosol is first created from the gaseous components.
- the distance from the heating element to the mouth of the HNB article is certainly the most important parameter for cooling the aerosol.
- the cooling element can be in the form of a crimped polylactide film or in the form of a cardboard tube, whereby - in addition to cooling - this element downstream of the tobacco portion and the support element also functions as a placeholder, which gives mechanical stability.
- mouthpiece materials must meet the target parameter cost-effectiveness. In particular, there is a need for suitable mouthpiece materials that can be produced with the least possible amount of material and with the lowest possible process costs.
- HNB products as well as conventional smoking articles, generally have the disadvantage that the inhaled aerosol is absorbed by the user at a high temperature. This is sometimes uncomfortable for the user.
- the task of the mouthpiece materials is to cool the aerosol with the lowest possible filtration performance.
- filter materials or materials for the mouthpiece must be compared to filter materials for king-size cigarettes - offer reduced filtration performance and increased cooling and improved haptic properties (firm, but not too hard handle).
- filter materials or materials for the mouthpiece must be compared to filter materials for king-size cigarettes - offer reduced filtration performance and increased cooling and improved haptic properties (firm, but not too hard handle).
- a low filtration rate is aimed for. If only the amount of filter material is reduced for this purpose, the filter hardness will eventually become insufficient.
- Filters for slim or ultra-slim cigarettes also have significantly higher draw resistance than king-size filters with the same fiber density, which is generally not desired.
- the present invention is based on the task of specifying a material which is suitable for a wide range of applications in tobacco products.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a filter material with low draw resistance and low filtration performance, with the filter material being able to achieve a sufficiently high Filtrona hardness that is as constant as possible when used in smoking goods, and the filter material can nevertheless be produced particularly economically .
- the filter material should be suitable for producing a filter with a uniform, white and flat face on the mouth side.
- the filter material shows a selective filtration effect on phenols.
- the filter material should in particular be suitable for reliably cooling a heated, particle-laden gas so that the temperature of the gas, aerosol or vapor absorbed by a smoking article can be reduced.
- the material should be suitable so that when the material is used as a filter material for slim or ultra-slim cigarettes, in particular, an adjustable and, in particular, reduced draw resistance compared to king-size filters can be achieved.
- the invention relates in particular to a material for forming a mouthpiece for tobacco products, the material having a filler material based on cellulose acetate filaments which are at least partially in the form of hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments.
- the filler material which is partially designed as hollow cellulose acetate filaments, has a lower density and a higher fill value than classic cellulose acetate filaments, which are not hollow-shaped and which are usually used in cigarette filters.
- hollow fiber used herein is to be understood in particular as a preferably cylindrical fiber which has one or more continuous flea spaces in cross section.
- the hollow fibers are preferably at least partially crimped.
- the invention is not limited to crimped flea fibers, but relates to it also non-crimped fibers or their use.
- the hollow fibers are at least partially designed as multi-lumen flea fibers.
- multi-lumen flea fibers are significantly more kink-resistant, which means that particularly high Filtrona hardnesses can be achieved without increased material compression.
- the term "Filtrona hardness” used herein is to be understood as the filter hardness determined according to the Filtrona principle.
- the filter hardness is determined by pushing a cylindrical rod 12 mm in diameter with its flat end face vertically with a load of 300 g
- the ratio of the compressed diameter to the initial diameter previously determined by the first contact gives the percentage of the Filtrona hardness.
- the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments at least partially have a trilobal, ie three-armed star-shaped cross-sectional shape.
- Such a cross-sectional shape is advisable when the cellulose acetate filaments are to have the largest possible specific surface area, for example in order to enable a high filtration capacity with the economical use of raw materials at the same time.
- other cross-sectional shapes are also conceivable for the hollow cellulose acetate filaments, such as a square cross-sectional shape.
- the filter and / or filler material of the present invention is inexpensive to manufacture and can be processed alone or with classic cellulose acetate filaments that are not hollow-shaped to form a filter rod with suitable tensile resistance and optimized filter properties.
- the filter and / or filler material according to the invention has a filler material based on cellulose acetate filaments which are at least partially designed as hollow cellulose acetate filaments, a low tensile resistance and a low filtration performance can be achieved, since the at least partially designed as hollow cellulose acetate filaments Fila elements of the filter and / or filler material have a small outer surface based on the total fiber volume. It is preferred here that the filaments of the filter and / or filler material, which are at least partially designed as hollow cellulose acetate filaments, have a cross-section that is as round as possible.
- the filter and / or filler material according to the invention is suitable for making a filter with a uniform, white and flat face on the mouth side, with a selective filtration effect on phenols also being feasible.
- filter rods especially for cigarettes, can be produced which have demonstrably to be emphasized properties regarding specific retention phenomena with regard to the discussion regarding smoking and health.
- a cellulose acetate filter for example, filters nitrosamines and phenols that are harmful to health far more efficiently than condensate and nicotine.
- the smoke taste of the tobacco mixture customary today such as "American Blend", “German Blend” and “Virginia” in combination with a filter rod made of cellulose acetate, is judged to be the most pleasant by the smoker.
- Another advantage of a filter rod that should not be underestimated Cellulose acetate is due to the optical homogeneity of the cut surfaces of the filters.
- the filter and / or filler material according to the invention is at least partially formed from hollow cellulose acetate filaments which serve as filler material, the tensile resistance and the filtration performance can be varied over a wide range in filter rods made from the material according to the invention.
- a filter material which consists at least in some areas of hollow cellulose acetate filaments has an improved thermal cooling effect. It was found that by using hollow cellulose acetate filaments as filler material, a very low filter effect, ie retention effect, for the suspended matter and gases to be removed can still be achieved. It is assumed that this effect is achieved in that the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments change the surface or the flow of the gas to be cleaned or the air in such a way that the suspended matter that may be present in the gas or in the air is hardly retained . Another reason could be that through the use of hollow cellulose acetate filaments a different, particularly advantageous surface structure of the filter material can be achieved.
- the filter and / or filler material according to the invention also has the advantage that it enables, in particular, adjustable cooling of a heated particle-laden gas (in particular aerosol), so that the temperature of the aerosol gas absorbed by the user of a smoking article or Fl NB product or steam can be reduced in a targeted manner.
- adjustable cooling of a heated particle-laden gas in particular aerosol
- the desired cooling effect can be adapted to the specific application.
- the effective filtration surface is by no means maximized, since the hollow cellulose acetate filaments in the filter and / or filler material are not flowed through.
- the hollow cellulose acetate filaments can thus have kinks that close the lumen of the hollow cellulose acetate filaments without this having an effect on the performance of the filter and / or filler material according to the invention in terms of the set target parameters.
- the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments designed as flea fibers do not have to be hollow throughout, but can also be partially closed by kinks. They can also deviate from an ideal circular shape.
- the hollow-shaped Cellulo seactetatfil noir of the filter and / or filler material serve on the one hand as carrier material and on the other hand as cooling material. Because the hollow-shaped cellulose act filaments also serve as a carrier material, they are particularly compact Mouthpieces can be realized in which the dimensions of the smoking article do not have to be increased.
- the filter and / or filler material has areas with hollow cellulose acetate filaments and non-hollow cellulose acetate filaments that are adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction of the mouthpiece.
- a mixture of hollow and non-hollow cellulose acetate filaments would also be conceivable.
- the hollow-shaped and non-hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments can be arranged in layers and then folded. In this way, the largest possible area of the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments serving as cooling material is possible, as a result of which the particle-laden gas can be cooled better.
- the filter and / or filler material can be introduced into the smoking article in such a way that, in particular, the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments are arranged essentially along the direction of flow of the particle-laden gas or the aerosol. In this way it can be achieved that the filter and / or filler material causes only a reduced pressure loss when the user is sucking on the mouthpiece, so that the user does not perceive the suction to be strenuous or uncomfortable.
- the tensile resistance of the filter and / or filler material can be varied over a wide range and adapted to the particular application.
- the filter and / or filler material consists only of hollow cellulose acetate filaments.
- the filter and / or filling material then has an optimal cooling capacity with a reduced filtration capacity.
- Another embodiment of the filter and / or filler material according to the invention provides that the filter and / or filler material is arranged as a separate segment in the direction of flow of the particle-laden gas or aerosol in front of the mouthpiece.
- the separate segment can have a variety of shapes. By way of example, a preferred cylindrical shape will be described, to which the invention is not intended to be limited. Conventional smoking articles are mostly designed essentially cylindrical.
- the separate segment can also be arranged upstream of a possible filter in the direction of flow of the particle-laden gas.
- the filter and / or filler material which serves as a cooling device and is designed as a separate segment, can, for example, be made entirely of hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments.
- the separate segment has a cover, for example made of paper or a type of housing, so that the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments serving as cooling material can be encapsulated.
- the Umhül ment or the housing has an inlet opening and an outlet opening for the particle-laden gas or the aerosol, through which it flows through the mouthpiece of the user due to the Ansau gene.
- the hollow-shaped cellulose acetate filaments used as cooling material can, for example, also optionally be attachable in or on the smoking article in encapsulated form. In this way, a user has the option of only cooling the particle-laden gas if he deems it necessary.
- the tensile resistance of a filter rod formed from the filter material according to the invention can be varied over a significantly larger range by varying the proportion of hollow cellulose acetate filaments in the filter material.
- a filter material which consists at least partially of hollow cellulose acetate filaments, allows the tensile resistance and the filtration performance to be adapted over a wide range to the respective requirements, much more flexibly than is the case with conventional filter materials based on cellulose acetate filaments the case is.
- a cooling effect can be set variably.
- the present invention allows mouthpieces or filters to be formed from cellulose acetate, which is normally in the form of a strand of essentially longitudinally directed continuous filaments, the continuous filaments preferably being crimped so that short regions of the individual filaments are irregularly shaped non-parallel, converging and diverging directions are arranged in comparison to the predominantly L jossverlau fenden direction of the strand.
- the surface structure of the filter material can be varied in that special crimped cellulose acetate filaments are used.
- the crimp index of the cellulose acetate filaments is preferably between 10% and 60%, and in particular between 20% and 50%.
- the ripple index I x is a measure of the intensity of the ripple.
- the curl index of a filter tow is determined by a tensile test (relationship between force and elongation). It is defined as the ratio of the stretched length L 2 under test load minus the initial length to the initial length under preload Li:
- the test load is 25 N and the preload is 2.5 N.
- the clamping length is 250 mm.
- the crimp index is determined in a tensile test with a constant Dehngeschwin speed of 300 mm / min on a G02 device from Borgwaldt GmbH, Flamburg. 10 individual measured values are recorded per measurement. The test is carried out under a standard climate: 20 ° C and 60% relative humidity.

- a solution of approx. 30% cellulose-2,5-acetate in acetone is pressed through special spinnerets, the acetone evaporates in a spinning shaft by blowing heated air into a large number of filaments (1,000 to 35,000) summarized in a band and then ruffled it in a shrub chamber.
- the product is then dried, filled into storage containers and finally pressed into bales weighing between 300 and 600 kg.
- spinnerets are used which are designed to spin hollow cellulose acetate filaments and / or cellulose acetate spinning fibers.

- the additive applied to bond the filaments can be a high-boiling solvent for cellulose acetate, such as glycerol triacetate (triacetin), which briefly dissolves the surface of the filaments after its application. Wherever two filaments happen to come into contact with each other, a solid bond occurs some time afterwards, as the excess additive migrates into the fiber surface, causing the previously liquid solution drop to solidify.
