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).
  • the wrapping paper of the invention has an air permeability of at least 30 cm 3 (cm 2) over more than 50% of its area, preferably at least 55% of its area, and most preferably at least 60% of its area.
  • the wrapping paper contains at least one Brandsalz. This ensures that the wrapping paper according to the invention, when used for a conventional tobacco cigarette, causes a good appearance of the ashes, and has no disadvantages in this respect compared to conventional cigarette papers, even if the wrapping paper, as in some preferred embodiments, a comparatively small Has a proportion of fillers. In particular, it can be avoided that the glaze cone migrates appreciably under the wrapping paper, which would cause an undesirable visual impression.
  • the wrapping paper of the present invention can achieve sufficient tensile strengths even if it is not coated with an additional coating for reinforcing the tensile strength. In a preferred embodiment, therefore, the wrapping paper is free of an additional coating. However, in other embodiments, it may have coated areas, such as those used for self-extinguishment, but these preferably account for less than 50%, more preferably less than 45%, and most preferably less than 40%, of the total area of the wrapping paper.

  • the fraction of the short fiber pulp must be at least 90% or at least 95% based on the number of fibers in the pulp mixture, as described above, based on the mass of the fibers in the pulp mixture in the wrapping paper according to the invention. But you can try, as far as the requirements for the tensile strength of the wrapping paper allow to choose the proportion of short fiber pulp as high as possible, so it is based on the mass preferably 95% and based on the mass or number particularly preferably 100%, so so in Essentially, the entire pulp mixture is formed by short fiber pulp.

  • the person skilled in the art can optimize the energy expenditure in order to obtain a sufficient tensile strength of the wrapping paper, for example by using short but intensively ground short fiber pulp or a lot of but slightly ground short fiber pulp.
  • the freeness of the pulp mixture is important, ie the mixture of ground short fiber pulp, unground short fiber pulp, if present, and, optionally, other pulps.
  • the freeness describes the rate at which an aqueous fiber suspension can be dewatered, and therefore influences not only the tensile strength of the wrapping paper but also the maximum speed of the paper machine in the production of the wrapping paper and thus indirectly the cost of production.
  • a low value for the degree of grinding means rapid dewatering of the fiber suspension and vice versa. In general, therefore, one will try to choose the freeness of the pulp fiber mixture as low as possible.
