Definitions
- the invention relates to a wrap-around paper for smoking articles. More particularly, it relates to a wrapping paper for smoking articles that can be produced by using a high proportion of short fiber pulp at a lower energy and cost than conventional papers for smoking articles, without worsening the essential technical properties. Furthermore, the invention relates to a smoking article comprising the wrapping paper according to the invention.
- a typical cigarette consists of a tobacco rod wrapped in a cigarette paper.
- cigarettes are also equipped with a filter, typically cellulose acetate, which is wrapped in a filter wrap paper and externally wrapped by a tipping paper that is slightly longer than the filter and thus joins the filter to the tobacco rod wrapped in the cigarette paper ,
- a filter typically cellulose acetate
- Alternative smoking articles do not burn the tobacco but only heat it, releasing an aerosol that is inhaled by the smoker. It is believed that the aerosol of such smoking articles contains less harmful substances than the smoke of conventional cigarettes. Instead of tobacco, other aerosol generating materials can be used. Depending on the design of these smoking articles, such wrappers may also require a wrapping paper which wraps around the tobacco or aerosol generating material or other parts of the smoking article.
- wrapping papers for smoking articles to make many technical requirements, in particular with regard to the air permeability, the diffusion capacity, but also with respect to optical requirements such as whiteness, color and opacity.
- optical requirements such as whiteness, color and opacity.
- the selection of possible raw materials for such wrapping papers are often subject to legal restrictions, and therefore the manufacturer of such wrapping papers is limited in the design of the wrapping paper.
- Wrapping papers for smoking articles typically contain pulp fibers. These pulp fibers are ground in milling units during the production of the wrapping paper. This means that the individual fibers or fibrils of the pulp fiber bundles are exposed by mechanical stress on the pulp fibers. As a result, a larger surface area and more options are available that connect the individual pulp fibers to one another in the papermaking process by means of hydrogen bonds. This gives the paper its tensile strength, but also affects the air permeability. In general, a more intensive grinding of the pulp fibers leads to a higher tensile strength of the paper but a lower air permeability. This grinding process is very energy intensive and therefore expensive.
- Pulp fibers are distinguished between long fiber pulp, which is typically obtained from coniferous trees such as spruce, pine or larch, and short fiber pulp typically obtained from deciduous trees such as beech, birch, eucalyptus, poplar or aspen.
- long-fiber pulp is more expensive than short-fiber pulp and must be ground with greater energy expenditure than short-fiber pulp.
- short fiber pulp is generally used unground.
- pulp fibers for wrapping papers for smoking articles are pulp fibers that are not derived from trees, such as flax, hemp, sisal, abaca, jute or cotton. Due to their length and tensile strength, these pulp fibers can replace the long-fiber pulp with respect to their technical effect in the wrapping paper, but are once again considerably more expensive than long-fiber pulp.
- pulp fibers for wrapping papers for smoking articles are pulp fibers derived from esparto grass. These pulp fibers give you a Umhüilungspapier more volume and lower density and can be used in their technical effect in the wrapping paper as an alternative to short fiber pulp.
- wrapping papers for smoking articles must contain long fiber pulp or pulp fibers of comparable technical effect so that the wrapping paper has sufficient tensile strength for the manual or automated manufacture of smoking articles.
- the proportion of long fiber pulp in the total pulp in wrapping papers for smoking articles according to the prior art is at least 20% and typically between 25% and 70%. This makes the production of wrapping papers for smoking articles expensive.
- the wrapping paper according to the invention has a basis weight of at least 10 g / m 2 and at most 70 g / m 2 and comprises a mixture of pulp fibers.
- the inventors have surprisingly found that the object can be achieved by a wrapping paper for smoking articles whose mixture of cellulose fibers with respect to the mass of cellulose fibers in the cell at least 90% by short fiber pulp fibers, or based on the number of pulp fibers at least 95% is formed by short fiber pulp fibers, wherein at least 10% of short fiber pulp fibers are ground based on the mass, or number of pulp fibers of the pulp fiber mixture.
- the wrapping paper according to the invention can have sufficient tensile strength without the need for an additional coating to increase the tensile strength.
- the cigarette paper may well be coated in certain portions or be, for example, to lower the diffusion capacity and thus impart self-extinguishing properties to a cigarette made from the wrapping paper.
- the base paper ie the wrapping paper without such coatings, has an air permeability of at least 30 cm 3 (cm 2 -min-kPa).

- Birch pulp and eucalyptus pulp were chosen as short fiber pulps for the wrapping paper of the present invention.
- the filler used was precipitated calcium carbonate.
- Table 1 shows 11 different fiber / filler compositions from which exemplary wrapping papers were made.
- the fiber / filler composition is characterized by the proportions of ground birch pulp ("Birch Ground” column), unmilled birch pulp ("Unmilled Birch” column), unground eucalyptus pulp (“Eucalyptus unground” column) and filler ("Filler” column)
- the percentages for the milled and unmilled birch and eucalyptus pulp are based on the mass of the whole pulp mixture, whereas the percentage of the filler in percent refers to the mass of the finished wrapping paper ISO 5267-1: 1999 in Schopper-Riegler (° SR).
- compositions 4-6 and 10 additionally contained precipitated calcium carbonate ("lime”) as a filler
- lime precipitated calcium carbonate
- the ground birch pulp was milled to freenesses between 30 ° SR and 79 ° SR
- a significant advantage of the invention is already evident, as for the grinding of the Birch pulp based on the mass always about half of the grinding energy of conventional long-fiber pulp has been spent .This results in a significant saving of grinding energy.
- compositions in Table 1 are extremes in terms of grind, filler content and levels of ground and unground short fiber pulp for the design of a wrapping paper so that those skilled in the art of designing a smoking article wrapping paper of the present invention will preferentially choose values between these extremes.
- the fiber length distribution of the milled birch pulp was measured several times using a Fiber Tester code 912, type 987666, from Lorentzen & Wettre according to the manufacturer's specifications, and an average fiber length between 0.8 and 1.0 mm was obtained.
- the milled birch pulp was mixed together with the unmilled birch pulp or the unground eucalyptus pulp according to the mixing ratios according to Table 1 in an aqueous suspension.
- the filler was added to the suspension in an appropriate amount, and leaves were formed from the suspension on a laboratory sheet former and dried. A total of 14 wrapping papers were produced, the data of which are given in Table 2.
- Table 2 shows 14 exemplary embodiments according to the invention AN ("Example” column), one of the fiber / filler suspensions from Table 1 being used for each exemplary embodiment and the assignment being made via the "Composition No.” column. from Table 2. The numbers entered in it correspond to the numbers from the column “No.” from Table 1. After conditioning the leaves according to ISO 187 at 23 ° C and 50% relative humidity, various measurements were made on the leaves, the results of which are given in Table 2.
- the basis weight was measured according to ISO 536: 2012 and the results are given in the column “basis weight.”
- the tensile strength and elongation at break were measured according to ISO 1924-2: 2008 and are given in the columns “tensile strength” and “elongation at break” was measured according to ISO 2965: 2009 and is given in the column “Air permeability”.
- the air permeabilities of Examples AC are at 4900 cm 3 / (cm 2 -min-kPa) to 7500 cm 3 / (cm 2 -min-kPa) very high for conventional wrapping papers of smoking articles, by increasing the basis weight, the grinding energy or fraction on milled birch pulp or by selection of another short fiber pulp, the air permeability can be reduced if necessary.
- the diffusion capacities of the wrapping papers of Examples AC are also high, which can reduce the content of carbon monoxide in the smoke of a smoking article made therefrom.
- the tensile strength was not measured because the composition of the wrapping papers of Examples DF is the same as for Examples AC and because of the higher basis weight, a significant increase in tensile strength is expected, so that the values are well above 12 N / 15 mm, the highest Value of examples AC, will be.
- the wrapping papers of Examples GN contain milled birch pulp and unground eucalyptus pulp and in Examples G, H, I and M also filler.
- the weights per square meter range from 23 g / m 2 to 37 g / m 2 for conventional wrapping paper used in smoking articles.
- Examples G and H are just within an acceptable range in terms of tensile strength of 5 N / 15 mm and 6 N / 15 mm, respectively. From these examples it can be seen that by low milling of the birch pulp and a high content of filler of 36.5% (Example G) and 39.3% (Example H), the tensile strength of the wrapping paper is reduced.
- Example I the filler content is even higher at 43%, but the birch pulp is also ground to a higher freeness of 71 ° SR. This achieves a tensile strength of 8 N / 15 mm, which can be sufficient for further machine processing of the wrapping paper, but in any case is sufficient for wrapping paper for manually produced smoking articles.
- the elongation at break was also measured. It shows values of 0.9% to 2.8%, which is sufficient for a mechanical further processing of the wrapping papers anyway.
- the air permeabilities of the wrapping papers of Examples GN are in the range of 75 cm 3 / (cm 2 'min-kPa) to 1240 cm 7 (cm 2 -min-kPa), thus well covering the usual range for wrapping papers of smoking articles.
- the described wrapping papers can be used to make a smoking article, for example, by using the wrapping papers to wrap around a tobacco rod or other material that releases an aerosol upon heating or combustion. Because all of the essential properties of the wrap-around papers of Examples A-N are in a typical range for smoking article wrappers, the manufacturing processes for making the smoking article do not differ from those known in the art. For this reason, an illustration of methods for producing corresponding smoking articles in the present description is omitted.
