Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cigarette paper and an associated manufacturing method.
  • it relates to a cigarette paper in which the visibility of inhomogeneities in the whiteness and the opacity of the paper is reduced to the human eye, so that the tobacco rod of a cigarette made from this paper gives a homogeneous visual impression.
  • a cigarette usually consists of a cylindrical tobacco rod wrapped in a cigarette paper and optionally further includes a filter plug enveloped in a filter wrap paper which is connected to the tobacco rod by a mouthpiece wrapping paper.
  • an optically homogeneous tobacco rod is considered a sign of a high-quality cigarette brand, a so-called "premium brand”. This may generally mean that the tobacco rod wrapped in cigarette paper is optically homogeneous, opaque and white from the outside, so that the tobacco particles of the tobacco rod are not discernible through the paper as a variation of whiteness.
  • opacity ie the opacity of the cigarette paper. It is determined to ISO 2471 and expressed as a percentage from 0% (clear) to 100% (completely opaque).
  • cigarette papers are light gray to white, although black cigarette papers and colored cigarette papers are also available on the market.
  • the whiteness of the cigarette paper is therefore also an important visual feature and is determined according to ISO 2470-1. It is also quantified as a percentage compared to a white standard with a value of 0% (black) to 100% (white). Fluorescence also allows values over 100% to be achieved, which, however, are only just over 100% and are usually only achieved in conjunction with optical brighteners.
  • a cigarette paper In addition to the optical properties of a cigarette paper play especially those technical properties of the cigarette paper a role that can influence the ingredients of the smoke of a cigarette made from it. These ingredients are determined, for example, by a method described in ISO 4387 and include, but are not limited to, the nicotine-free dry condensate ("tar"), the nicotine content, and the carbon monoxide content in the smoke of a cigarette.
  • these ingredients are determined, for example, by a method described in ISO 4387 and include, but are not limited to, the nicotine-free dry condensate ("tar"), the nicotine content, and the carbon monoxide content in the smoke of a cigarette.
  • CORESTA unit CU, CORESTA unit
  • the air permeability determines how much the smoke is diluted during a draft by the air flowing through the cigarette paper into the tobacco rod.
  • the diffusion capacity of a cigarette paper for CO 2 can be determined, for example, with the CO 2 .Diffusivity Meter from Sodim. Among other things, the diffusion capacity determines the gas exchange by the cigarette paper between the tobacco rod and the environment by diffusion while the cigarette is glowing.
  • the treated portions are designed as 5 mm to 7 mm wide bands which are applied to the inside of the cigarette paper and extend on the cigarette in the circumferential direction. The bands hinder the access of oxygen to the glow cone of the smoldering cigarette and thus cause self-extinction.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a cigarette paper which improves the optical properties of a cigarette made from this cigarette paper and, in particular, makes the optical inhomogeneities of the cigarette paper less noticeable to the human eye without substantially impairing the technical properties of the cigarette paper.
  • a composition in the form of a pattern is applied to the cigarette paper, which has a Coaseness Tamura, which is at most 0.22 mm, preferably at most 0.20 mm.
  • the absolute difference in whiteness according to ISO 2470-1 between an area of the cigarette paper to which the composition is applied over the entire surface and an area of the cigarette paper to which the composition is not applied is at least 25%, preferably at least 35% especially preferably at least 40%. However, it should not exceed 60%, preferably 55%.
  • the opacity according to ISO 2471 of a surface of the cigarette paper to which the composition is applied over the entire surface is higher than that Opacity of an area to which this composition is not applied.
  • the values of whiteness according to ISO 2470-1 and opacity according to ISO 2471 always refer to the composition in the dried state.
  • the inventors have surprisingly found that contrary to expectation, for example, for white cigarette paper, the optical quality can be improved by the application of less white compositions.
  • this pattern is produced by applying a composition to the cigarette paper.
  • the areas in which the composition was applied differ from the untreated areas of the cigarette paper in terms of whiteness and opacity.
  • An improvement in the optical properties of the cigarette paper in the context of this invention is achieved if the above relationships exist between the whiteness, the opacity and the structure size of the pattern applied to the cigarette paper.
  • the effect according to the invention is achieved by applying a pattern to the cigarette paper which slightly deviates from the cigarette paper in the white and is so finely structured that the smoker, from the distance from which he usually looks at a cigarette, has the structure of the cigarette Pattern can not perceive in detail. Instead of perceiving this pattern, he sees only a slightly less white surface than with conventional cigarette paper, but - surprisingly - optically much more homogeneous.
  • the coarseness according to Tamura is sufficiently small.
  • a lower limit of the Coarseness results essentially for practical considerations, because can print with the preferred printing methods no arbitrarily small structures. Therefore, in the preferred embodiments, it will be at least 0.01 mm, preferably at least 0.05 mm
  • the printed area is defined as the area of the cigarette paper to which a composition according to the invention has been applied. It does not matter whether the composition was actually applied by a printing process, but only that it was applied by any method. Also, for example, the spraying of the composition should be covered by it.
  • the treated area is defined as the printed area supplemented by an imaginary border around the printed area with a width of 1.5 mm. To be more specific, the treated area is the union of all circular areas with a radius of 1.5 mm centered on the printed area .
  • the unprinted area is defined as that part of the treated area that does not belong to the printed area .
  • the untreated area is defined as the area of the cigarette paper that does not belong to the treated area .
  • the visible cigarette paper surface is defined as the area of the cigarette paper that is visible on the cigarette from the outside. Thus, for example, it does not include the area which is overlapped by the tipping paper nor the area of the cigarette paper which is covered in the formation of a glue seam of a cigarette paper tube.
  • various parameters can be used that are determined by numerical calculations from a digital image of the pattern.
  • a commonly used parameter that correlates well with human perception is the so-called coarseness according to Tamura, which in H. Tamura, et al .: Texture features corresponding to visual perception. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, vol. SMC-8, no. 6, 1978, 460-473 , is described. Based on this, the algorithm for determining coarseness according to Tamura is described in more detail below.
  • the input data is a digital image of the print pattern, in which each pixel is assigned a gray level.
  • the gray levels are described in monotonic increasing, for example, by integer values from 0 (black) to 255 (white).
  • the picture is in one Resolution of 0.01 ⁇ 0.01 mm per pixel before.
  • the image will show at least one repeating unit, otherwise it will show the visible cigarette paper surface.
  • the image has an extension of w pixels in the x direction and h pixels in the orthogonal y direction.
  • the x-direction corresponds to the circumferential direction on the cigarette and the y-direction is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tobacco rod.
  • the Coarseness according to Tamura depends little on the choice of directions and in particular not on a permutation of x-direction and y-direction. Likewise, it does not depend on the concrete numerical values that characterize the gray scale, but only on the relationships to each other within the image.
  • the coarseness has the unit pixels and can be converted into mm by multiplying by the pixel size , in this case 0.01 mm per pixel. It is a measure of the average structure size of the digital image. A size of 0.01 mm per pixel is sufficiently small for the characterization of the samples of the present invention, because smaller structures can be produced with the preferred application methods, in particular in the gravure printing method, and are not required for the effect according to the invention.
  • the coarseness of the applied Tamura pattern as mentioned above is at most 0.22 mm, preferably at most 0.20 mm.
  • the inventors were able to determine that patterns whose coarseness assumes such low values achieve the desired effect. Investigations by the inventors have shown that this effect with a correspondingly chosen coarseness for a variety of different patterns some of which are shown below. Coarseness accordingly has a significant meaning for the effect according to the invention, ie independent of the specific design of the sample.
  • the whiteness of the printed area should be less than the whiteness of the unprinted area.
  • the absolute difference in whiteness according to ISO 2470-1 between the printed and the unprinted area is at least 25%, preferably at least 35% and particularly preferably at least 40%. At the same time, however, the difference should be at most 60%, preferably at most 55%, in order to avoid clearly discernible differences.
  • the inventors have found that the effect according to the invention can be achieved over a comparatively large range of whiteness according to ISO 2470-1 and the opacity according to ISO 2471 of the untreated cigarette paper.
  • the effect is less pronounced if both the whiteness and the opacity of the untreated cigarette paper are already very high, ie the optical quality of the untreated paper is already very good.
  • at least one area of the cigarette paper to which the composition is not applied should have an ISO 2470-1 whiteness of less than 95% or an ISO 2471 opacity of less than 90%.
  • sufficiently large test areas can be formed at another location of the cigarette paper and used for the measurement, for example sufficiently large surfaces printed over the whole area.
  • sufficiently large completely untreated areas which may optionally be left separately for this purpose on the cigarette paper. In both cases, it can be assumed that these surfaces printed over the entire surface or completely untreated areas are representative of the whiteness or opacity of the printed or unprinted areas of the actual pattern.
  • the opacity according to ISO 2471 of the cigarette paper without application of the composition is at most 90%, preferably at most 80%.
  • these limits result in a particularly good effect, since in these the optical inhomogeneity due to the translucent tobacco strand is particularly pronounced.
  • the opacity of the untreated cigarette paper should be at least 50%, because at lower opacities even by application of the inventive pattern a satisfactory appearance can be achieved only with difficulty.
  • the ISO 2471 opacity of an area of the cigarette paper to which the composition is applied over the entire area is at least 80%, preferably at least 85% and particularly preferably at least 90%.
  • the greater the opacity of the printed area the better the effect according to the invention.
  • the whiteness according to ISO 2470-1 of the cigarette paper without application of the composition is at least 80% and in particular between 80% and 95%. For these values of whiteness, particularly good results can also be achieved.
  • the proportion of the printed area on the treated area according to the above definition is less than 80%, preferably less than 70% and particularly preferably less than 50%. Note that this ratio is an additional property of the pattern, which has independent meaning in addition to coarseness. In many cases it is advantageous, given coarseness, to favor those patterns in which the proportion of the printed area on the treated area is small in order to minimize the effect on the air permeability and the diffusion capacity of the paper.
  • the proportion of the treated area on the total visible cigarette paper surface of the cigarette paper is preferably at least 20%, preferably at least 50% and particularly preferably at least 70%. However, in particularly preferred embodiments, the treated area will extend over the entire visible cigarette paper surface to achieve the desired effect thereon.
  • the composition comprises at least water as a solvent and a dye.
  • the composition should be water-based, which means that it is in any case less than 10% by weight, preferably less than 5% by weight, of organic solvents on the weight of the composition.
  • the composition may preferably be formed by a solution, a suspension or an emulsion.
  • solvent is therefore not intended to indicate that the composition is a "solution” in the strict sense. In fact, even a suspension of the dye as a composition is preferred.
  • the consequence of using a water-based composition is that after drying, no or at most very small amounts of organic solvent remain on the printed surface , preferably less than 0.5 mg / m 2 , particularly preferably less than 0.1 mg / m 2 , in each case based on the printed area.
  • the solvent is alone formed by water.
  • the advantage of organic solvents is that after application of the composition by heat usually with less energy expenditure can be removed than water, but remain on the cigarette paper small residual amounts of organic solvent, the aroma of the cigarette, especially directly after opening the Cigarette package, can affect.
  • water is the preferred solvent.
  • the dye it is possible to use all dyes which are suitable for producing in small quantities the desired white difference between printed and unprinted area . Above all, toxicological and legal aspects have to be considered. The lightfastness and possible bleeding of the dye in the presence of moisture may also be included in the selection.
  • carbon particles of a medicinal coal are a particularly preferred dye, and equally preferred are black, water-soluble food dyes, which usually meet the legal requirements and are easier to disperse than medicinal carbon.
  • An alternative for white cigarette paper are also organic dyes, for example blue E132, or inorganic pigment dyes.
  • dyes are then used in the color on the cigarette paper, such as, for example, inorganic pigment dyes, for example iron oxides (E172), organic dyes such as blue E132, red E123 or red E124 or mixtures thereof.
