Definitions
- a coating composition for a low ignition propensity cigarette paper, a cigarette using the same, and a method for manufacturing a low ignition propensity cigarette paper are provided.
- various kinds of leaf tobaccos are processed by blending them to the desired aroma and taste.
- the processed tobacco leaves are then carved out to produce cut tobacco leaves, which are surrounded by a cigarette paper to produce a filter-less cigarette.
- a filter is then attached to the filter-less cigarette as needed.
- the cigarette paper may be not only made to deliver a target tar and a target nicotine during smoking due to the appropriate porosity and combustibility, but may also be made to give a cigarette its unique smoking taste.
- a low ignition propensity cigarette paper may include a band-shaped coating portion, and the coated band has a low porosity. Accordingly, when the combustion of the cigarette reaches the coated band, the amount of oxygen introduced into the tobacco cut leaves may decrease to extinguish the cigarette.
- Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2013-0045157 discloses a coating composition for forming a coating portion of the low ignition propensity cigarette paper and a cigarette using the same.
- the coating composition includes alpha starch, maltodextrin, ethanol, and water. However, it may be less than 2 months to maintain the properties of the coating composition at 20 °C or more due to the inherent aging characteristics of the starch, and the service life may further be shortened because the aging occurs drastically when the coating composition is exposed to the low temperature.
- such coating composition may reduce the low ignition performance at the high temperature drying, and it may be difficult to dry the coating composition coated on the cigarette paper at the room temperature drying.
- such coating composition may have a large change in viscosity in a dynamic state such as rotation, such that a coating amount may decrease during coating, and the workability may decrease.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to extend the service life and the expiration date of the coating composition in the low ignition propensity cigarette paper.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to extend the viscosity retention period of time of the coating composition in the low ignition propensity cigarette paper at the room temperature and the low temperature conditions.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to improve the dynamic viscosity retention rate of the coating composition in the low ignition propensity cigarette paper.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to increase the amount of coating the coating composition on the low ignition propensity cigarette paper during the coating operation on the cigarette paper, and to maintain the coating amount constantly.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to improve the productivity and the workability of the tobacco.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to allow the room temperature drying of the coating composition in the low ignition propensity cigarette paper by improving the drying ability.
- One embodiment of the present invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost of the low ignition propensity cigarette paper, and to shorten the manufacturing time.
- the coating composition for the low ignition propensity cigarette paper according to an embodiment of the present invention includes 10% to 30% by weight of arabic gum, 25% to 35% by weight of maltose, 15% to 30% by weight of ethanol, and 10% to 40% by weight of water.
- the viscosity of the coating composition for the low ignition propensity cigarette paper may be more than 100 cPs and less than 1000 cPs.
- the dynamic viscosity retention rate may be 84% or more when the rotational speed of the coating composition for the low ignition propensity cigarette paper increases from about 20 rpm to 100 rpm.
- a cigarette according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cigarette column portion, and a low ignition propensity cigarette paper surrounding the cigarette column portion and including a coating portion formed by drying a coating composition, wherein the coating composition includes 10% to 30% by weight of arabic gum, 25% to 35% by weight of maltose, 15% to 30% by weight of ethanol, and 10% to 40% by weight of water.
- the cigarette may further include a cigarette filter portion.

- the coating composition includes arabic gum, maltose, ethanol, and water.
- Arabic gum may block the pores contained in the cigarette paper 19 to obstruct the oxygen supply, thereby allowing the low ignition performance of the coating composition.
- Arabic gum may have a relatively low viscosity even at the high concentrations, and accordingly, it may be easier to control the concentration in the low viscosity state. Therefore, a coating composition having the low viscosity and high concentration characteristics may be prepared, and the combustion strength may be easily controlled by adjusting the coating concentration of the coating composition.
- Arabic gum may have a large solubility in water, so that the dispersion stability of the coating composition may improve, thereby forming the coating portions 18 having the composition and concentration dispersed uniformly.
- the coating composition including the arabic gum may have a higher drying speed at the higher temperature than the conventional coating composition. Therefore, the coating composition according to the embodiment may improve the workability of the coating process.

- Arabic gum is included in an amount of about 10% to about 30% by weight based on the total coating composition.
- the dispersion stability of the coating composition may improve and the drying speed may increase, so that the workability of the coating process may further improve, and the low viscosity retention period of time may be greatly extended, the viscosity retention rate may significantly improve, and the aging phenomena may decrease thereby extending the expiration date.
- Maltose may block the pores contained in the cigarette paper 19 to obstruct the oxygen supply, thereby allowing the low ignition performance of the coating composition, similar to arabic gum. However, since the average size of maltose is smaller than the average size of arabic gum, maltose may block the fine pores which are relatively small in diameter or size.
- Maltose may also effectively lower the aging rate of arabic gum and significantly delay the aging rate of the coating composition. Therefore, the viscosity retention period of time may be extended, the viscosity retention may improve, and the viscosity change may be minimized even when exposed to the low temperature of about 2 °C, compared to the conventional coating composition containing maltodextrin.
- maltose may be dissolved in ethanol. When maltose is used with ethanol, maltose may lower the viscosity of the coating composition, and may increase the bonding strength between the constituents of the coating composition.
- the coating composition including maltose may have a higher drying rate at the high temperature than the conventional coating composition. Therefore, the coating composition according to the embodiment may improve the workability of the coating process.

Within this range, the low viscosity maintenance period of time may be greatly extended, the viscosity retention may significantly improve, the aging phenomena may greatly decrease thereby extending the expiration date, and the workability of the coating process may improve.
- Ethanol may increase the solid amount of the coating composition, and the viscosity of the coating composition may be controlled by adjusting the amount of ethanol.
- ethanol may increase the affinity of the coating roller and the coating composition in the coating operation by lowering the surface tension of the coating composition. Accordingly, the coating amount may increase, and the coating amount may be kept constant, thereby improving the coating workability. The low ignition performance may also improve.
- ethanol may improve the drying property of the coating composition and increase the drying speed at the high temperature, thereby enhancing the workability of the coating process, and reducing the phenomenon in which the strength weakens due to the absorption of water into the cigarette paper.
- Ethanol is used in an amount of about 15% to about 30% by weight based on the total coating composition. Within this range, the viscosity of the coating composition may be properly maintained, and the workability of the coating process may further improve to increase the productivity of tobacco. The low ignition performance of the cigarette may also further improve.
- Water may be used to adjust the concentration of other constituents in the coating composition or the concentration of the coating composition. Water may also enhance the absorbency of the coating composition into the cigarette paper 19.

- the coating composition may further include one or more of sodium benzoate, sodium sorbate, a grapefruit seed extract, and a cinnamon extract. Such materials may reduce the rot and deterioration of the coating composition to prolong the service life or the shelf life of the coating composition.

- the coating composition may further include one or more of xanthan gum, guar gum, amylopectin, and starch ester.

- the viscosity of the coating composition needs to be appropriately adjusted, and the viscosity of the coating composition for the low ignition propensity cigarette paper according to the embodiment may be about 100 cPs or more and may be less than about 1000 cPs.
- the optical and the low ignition characteristics of the cigarette paper 19 may be degraded when the viscosity of the coating composition is too low.
- the viscosity of the coating composition is less than about 100 cPs
- the whiteness and the opacity of the cigarette paper 19 may decrease, and the rate of penetration of the coating composition into the cigarette paper, e.g. the diffusion coefficient, may increase, thereby reducing an amount of arabic gum and maltose remaining in the surface of the cigarette paper, and reducing the pore blocking ability or the low ignition performance.
- the viscosity of the coating composition is less than about 100 cPs, the dynamic viscosity retention rate of the coating composition may significantly decrease.
- the coating composition may be coated on the cigarette paper 19 by a rotating device such as a coating roller. If the viscosity changes under a dynamic condition such as the increase of the rotational speed, the coating portions 18 may be formed at an uneven concentration, thereby degrading the low ignition performance and deteriorating the process workability. Therefore, the coating may be stably performed only when the viscosity change of the coating composition in the dynamic state is minimized.
- the dynamic viscosity retention rate may be lowered.
- the dynamic viscosity retention rate of the coating composition may greatly decrease, which may result in the formation of the coating portions 18 having a non-uniform shape and a non-uniform concentration, and the degradation of the coating process workability.
- the dynamic viscosity retention rate in case that the rotational speed of the coating composition increases from about 20 rpm to 100 rpm may be at least about 84%.
- the diffusion coefficient in case that the rotational speed of the coating composition increases from about 20 rpm to 100 rpm may be about 0.15 or less.
- the cigarette paper has a property that the strength weakens when the cigarette paper contacts with water. Therefore, after coating the conventional coating composition on a cigarette paper, a drying facility is used to remove moisture. In this case, the drying process may be mainly performed at the high temperature condition of about 200 °C or more, and as a result, the cost and time of cigarette production may increase, and the coating composition may deteriorate, thereby reducing the low ignition performance. In addition, the conventional coating composition may not be dried at the room temperature condition of about 25 °C.
- the drying property is excellent, and the drying rate at the high temperature condition may be relatively very fast compared to the drying rate of the conventional coating composition.
- the coating composition according to the embodiment may be dried even at the room temperature condition. Thus, a separate drying facility may not be required, which may save the cost and time of the cigarette manufacture and keep the properties of the coating composition constant.

- the low ignition performance may not measure at a production rate of 4000 cpm or more under the room temperature drying condition, because the coating portions on the cigarette paper have not dried so that the cigarette production is impossible. However, the low ignition performance is still maintained in the case of the cigarette according to Example 4.
- the high temperature drying process of 220 °C or higher is necessary in the case of the cigarette according to the comparative example.
- the drying property of the coating composition is relatively excellent in the case of tobacco according to the embodiment, so that the room temperature drying process is feasible irrespective of the cigarette production rates.
- the high temperature drying equipment is omitted in the production process, thereby improving the coating workability, reducing cigarette manufacturing costs, and saving manufacturing time.
- the low ignition performance may not measure at a production rate of 4000 cpm or more under the room temperature drying condition, because the coating portions on the cigarette paper have not dried so that the cigarette production is impossible.
- the diffusion coefficient increases slightly in the case of the cigarette according to Example 4.
- the coating amount of the coating composition is kept constant under both the high temperature and room temperature conditions irrespective of the cigarette production rate.
- the coating amount of the coating composition is kept constant under both the high temperature and room temperature conditions irrespective of the cigarette production rate.
- the intermediate extinguishing rate represents the extinguishing rate of cigarettes placed on 10 sheets of filter paper by the ISO-12863 Ignition Propensity measuring method, and may be used in the same meaning as the above-described low ignition performance.
- Table 9 Cigarette Intermediate extinguishing rate (%) by cigarette production rates (cpm) 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000 Comparative 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 Example 7 Comparative Example 8 100 100 100 90 52.5 0 5 Comparative Example 9 100 85 10 0 0 0 Comparative Example 10 60 0 0 0 0 0 Example 4 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
- the coating workability is excellent and the productivity of the cigarette is high in the case of the cigarette according to the embodiment.
- the cigarette according to Comparative Example 7 and the cigarette according to Example 4 show comparable levels of the intermediate extinguishing rate and the smoke constituents.
- the FASE value of the cigarette according to Example 4 is lower than the FASE value of the cigarette according to Comparative Example 7. Accordingly, it may be seen that the cigarette according to the embodiment is less likely to be extinguished during smoking of the smoke than the cigarette according to the comparative example.
- the diffusion coefficient is less than 0.4 and the intermediate extinguishing rate is 75% or more in the cases of arabic gum 10 wt% to 20 wt% and maltose 20 wt% to 40 wt%, and in the cases of arabic gum 30 wt% and maltose 20 wt% to 40 wt%.
- the diffusion coefficient is relatively high due to the viscosity of the coating composition being too low or too high, and the intermediate extinguishing rate after coating is relatively low.
- the diffusion coefficient is relatively low, thereby increasing the coating amount of the coating composition on the cigarette paper.
- the coating workability may improve, and the low ignition performance may also improve.
- the surface tension measures by the Sessile Drop method in which each coating composition makes droplets, and the droplets are placed on a solid surface, and then measures using the shape of the droplets.
- Table 13 Constituent amounts (wt%) surface tension intermediate extinguishing rate (%) Ethanol Arabic gum Maltose Water 0 17.5 35 47.5 76.1 0 10 17.5 35 37.5 55.7 45 12.5 17.5 35 35 48.6 60 15 17.5 35 32.5 42.7 93 17.5 17.5 35 30 40.2 100 20 17.5 35 27.5 37.6 100 22.5 17.5 35 25 36.3 100 25 17.5 35 22.5 35.1 100 27.5 17.5 35 20 34.5 100 30 17.5 35 17.5 33.6 78 32.5 17.5 35 15 32.8 0 35 17.5 35 12.5 No dispersion -
- the intermediate extinguishing rate is relatively high and the low ignition performance is excellent in the case of ethanol 15 wt% to 30 wt% in the coating composition.
- the low ignition performance of the coating composition further improves, and the ethanol lowers the surface tension of the coating composition to an appropriate level, so that the affinity between the coating roller and the coating composition may increase.
- the coating amount may increase and be kept constant, thereby improving the coating workability.
