Definitions

  • the invention relates to an aerosol-generating article in which the aerosol-generating Ma material is heated and so an aerosol is released, the aerosol-generating material is not burned.
  • the aerosol-generating article comprises a wrapping material which is intended in particular for the filter part of the aerosol-generating article.
  • the wrapping material has a particularly high flexural rigidity and can be well perforated by using a laser.
  • the wrapping material of the aerosol-generating article according to the invention comprises at least two interconnected paper layers which have different specific densities.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing an associated wrapping material and a corresponding wrapping material.
  • aerosol-generating articles which comprise an aerosol-generating material and a material which wraps around the aerosol-generating material, thus forming a typically cylindrical strand.
  • the aerosol-generating material is a material that releases an aerosol when exposed to heat, wherein the aerosol-generating material is only heated but not burned.
  • the aerosol-generating article also includes a filter that can filter aerosol components and that is enveloped by a filter wrap material, and a tipping paper that bonds the filter and the strand together.
  • the perforation is in the form of holes arranged circumferentially around the aerosol generating article. These holes are usually produced on the aerosol-generating article by perforation by means of laser radiation.
  • the filter is often a cylindrical strand of filter fibers which passes through the filter wrap paper and the mouthpiece lining membrane. is wrapped in a pier.
  • the flexural stiffness of the wrapping material is of particular importance for aerosol generating articles because these articles are often plugged into a heater during use to heat the aerosol generating material. After use of the aerosol-producing article, it is removed again from the heater. By heating the aerosol-generating article in the heater, it may stick in the heater and require a relatively greater amount of force to remove it from the heater.
  • the aerosol-generating article in the heating device breaks or deforms in such a way that parts of it remain in the heating device and have to be laboriously removed or obstruct the insertion of the aerosol-generating article during the next use.
  • a wrapping material with a high bending stiffness allows to limit the deformation and to prevent such problems largely.
  • a high rigidity of the filter part of an aerosol-producing article is generally desired, because in the consumer's perception this is considered a sign of high quality.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an encasing material for an aerosol-producing article which has a comparatively high rigidity and nevertheless can be perforated well by means of laser radiation.
  • This object is achieved by an aerosol-producing article according to claim 1, a process for producing a suitable coating material according to claim 27 and a coating material according to claim 29.
  • the inventors have found that this object can be achieved by a wrapping material having a thickness of at least 50 pm and at most 350 pm, a basis weight of at least 50 g / m 2 and at most 200 g / m 2 , a specific gravity of at least 500 kg / m 3 and at most 1300 kg / m 3 and a bending stiffness of at least 0.15 Nmm and at most 1.50 Nmm.
  • the wrapping material comprises at least two layers, wherein the layers are interconnected and wherein at least one the layers is a paper layer.
  • This paper layer has a thickness of at least 40 pm and at most 70 pm, a basis weight of at least 50 g / m 2 and at most 80 g / m 2 and a density of at least 700 kg / m 3 and at most 1300 kg / m 3 and has a higher specific gravity than any one of the remaining layers of the wrapping material.
  • interconnected means that a connection between each layer of the wrapping material with the layer above and below it so that the stresses caused by a bend in the paper can be transferred from one layer to the adjacent layers, so that the wrapping material with respect The bending behaves like a composite and does not behave like several loose leaves.
  • the invention is based on the following considerations.
  • the bending stiffness S b (N-mm) of a homogeneous cladding material can be approximated by the equation r _ Q -p-d 3
  • the bending stiffness S b can be increased by increasing the density p or the thickness d. In particular, an increase in thickness, even if the density decreases to the same extent at a constant basis weight, increases the bending stiffness.
  • the thickness of the wrapping material should therefore be less than 350 ⁇ m.
  • the density can not be arbitrarily increased because a too tight Ummül- material can also be perforated by the laser not at high speed. It should be noted that a reduction of the thickness to half requires an increase in density by a factor of 8, if the bending stiffness is to remain the same. For this As a matter of fact, in practice, rigid wrapping materials which require a high density, a high thickness, or both, are in fact difficult to perforate.
  • the inventors have recognized that a much more favorable compromise between stiffness and perforation capability can be achieved if the cladding material has an inhomogeneous distribution of the density.
  • the wrapping material of the invention should be at least 50 pm thick and have a basis weight of at least 50 g / m 2 and at most 200 g / m 2 , so that it has a good mechanical strength.
  • the density of the wrapping material as a whole should be at least 500 kg / m 3 and at most 1300 kg / m 3 so that it can easily be perforated over the entire thickness.
  • the bending stiffness of the wrapping material according to the invention should be at least 0.15 Nmm, which means a considerable increase over conventional wrapping materials for aerosol-producing articles and is very well suited for wrapping filters for aerosol-generating articles.
  • the bending stiffness of the wrapping material should not be too high.
  • the wrapping material is wrapped around the aerosol generating article and bonded to itself or to the aerosol generating article. If the restoring forces are too high due to the high bending stiffness, the adhesive bond opens again before it has reached a sufficient strength.
  • the flexural rigidity of the wrapping material according to the invention should therefore be at most 1.50 Nmm.
  • the wrapping material should comprise at least two layers, the layers being interconnected.
  • An essential aspect of the invention is that one of these layers is a paper layer and has a density that is higher than the density of the other layers.
  • This inhomogeneous distribution of the density across the cross-section of the cladding material enables efficient laser perforation by making sure that this dense but comparatively thin layer is within the maximum energy density of the laser radiation, while the other layers of the cladding material whose density is lower, are located in areas of lower energy density of the laser radiation.
  • the density is adapted to the spatial distribution of the energy density of the laser radiation and an efficient and rapid perforation of the wrapping material is possible.
  • the said paper layer of the wrapping material according to the invention should have a thickness of at least 40 pm and at most 70 pm, a basis weight of at least 50 g / m 2 and at most 80 g / m 2 and a density of at least 700 kg / m 3 and at most 1300 kg / m 3 have.
  • the basis weight of the wrapping material and the layers of wrapping material may be determined according to ISO 536: 2012.
  • the thickness as well as the specific volume and thus the density of the wrapping material and the layers of the wrapping material can be determined according to ISO 534: 2011.
  • the bending stiffness of the wrapping material and the layers of the wrapping material can be determined according to TAPPI T556.
  • a strip of material of known length and width is clamped and applied at a defined distance from the clamping to a force sensor.
  • the clamping takes place so that the gravity is orthogonal to the bending plane and therefore has no influence on the bend.
  • the clamping is rotated by a defined angle, typically 15 °, so that the strip of material bends and exerts a force on the force sensor.
  • This force is measured and used to calculate the bending stiffness.
  • the measurement of the bending is carried out in both directions and the averaging determines the bending stiffness.
  • the flexural rigidity may also depend on the direction in which the strip of material was removed from the wrapping material. Unless otherwise specified, statements of flexural rigidity apply regardless of direction. This means, for example, that the bending stiffness is within a specified interval if it lies in at least one direction in this interval.
  • Typical noninventive wrapping materials for aerosol-producing articles have a flexural stiffness of 0.01 Nmm to 0.10 Nmm.
  • the thickness of the cladding material according to the invention is at least 50 ⁇ m and preferably at least 60 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness is at most 350 ⁇ m, preferably at most 200 ⁇ m and particularly preferably at most 150 ⁇ m.
  • a small thickness means low flexural rigidity and tensile strength, while a higher thickness at the same basis weight means that the wrapping material can be more easily perforated with laser radiation. The preferred intervals therefore allow a particularly advantageous combination of these conflicting requirements.
  • the basis weight of the wrapping material is essential for its mechanical strength.
  • the wrapping material should have a basis weight of at least 50 g / m 2 , preferably of at least 55 g / m 2 and more preferably of at least 60 g / m 2 .
  • the basis weight should be at most 200 g / m 2 , preferably at most 130 g / m 2 and particularly preferably at most 120 g / m 2 .
  • the wrapping material should have a density of at least 500 kg / m 3 , preferably at least 600 kg / m 3 and more preferably at least 700 kg / m 3 .
  • the density of the wrapping material should be at most 1300 kg / m 3 , preferably at most 1250 kg / m 3 and more preferably at most 1200 kg / m 3 . Again, the preferred intervals provide an advantageous compromise between high flexural stiffness and good perforation properties.
  • the bending stiffness of the cladding material should be at least 0.15 Nmm, preferably at least 0.25 Nmm, and more preferably at least 0.27 Nmm. This ensures that an aerosol-producing article made of the wrapping material according to the invention has such a high stability against mechanical deformations that it can already be clearly perceived by the consumer. Since a high flexural rigidity also means a high restoring force in the production of the aerosol-generating article from the wrapping material according to the invention, the flexural rigidity should be at most 1.50 Nmm, preferably at most 1.25 Nmm and particularly preferably at most 1.00 Nmm. The preferred intervals allow a particularly high flexural rigidity with problem-free processing of the wrapping material.
  • the wrapping material consists of at least two layers which are interconnected.
  • the connection between the layers of the wrapping material is designed positively.
  • a form-fitting connection can be produced, for example, by knurling or by mechanical perforation of the layers of the wrapping material that have been stacked on top of each other.
  • the perforation device bends the edges of the perforation hole of a layer into the underlying layer, so that by selecting a sufficient number of perforation holes, a mechanical connection sufficient for the transmission of bending stresses is produced. Knurling also works in a similar way.
  • a significant advantage of this type of connection is that no adhesive is needed and thus the density of the wrapping material is not increased.
  • the layers of the wrapping material are glued together.
  • all bonds are made over the entire surface. This variant is preferred if you want to achieve the highest possible bending stiffness.
  • At least one bonding of two layers of the wrapping material is not carried out over the entire surface.
  • the at least one non-all-over bonding is carried out such that adhesive is applied to at least 10%, more preferably at least 20%, and most preferably at least 40% of the area of a layer of the wrapping material.
  • adhesive is applied to at least 10%, more preferably at least 20%, and most preferably at least 40% of the area of a layer of the wrapping material.
  • the application of adhesive also means an increase in density, so that the adhesive is preferably applied to at most 90%, more preferably to at most 70% and most preferably to at most 60% of the area of a layer of the wrapping material.
  • the amount of adhesive applied is therefore preferably at least 2 g / m 2 , particularly preferably at least 4 g / m 2 and very particularly preferably at least 5 g / m 2 .
  • the amount of adhesive applied is preferably at most 12 g / m 2 , particularly preferably at most 10 g / m 2 and very particularly preferably at most 9 g / m 2 .
  • the application quantity in g / m 2 denotes the amount of adhesive that remains on the paper after the adhesive has dried, based on the area to which the actual adhesive was applied.
  • the adhesive in this at least one bond is applied in the form of a pattern which extends substantially in the direction of the tensile and expected bending stress Compressive stresses extends.
  • the adhesive may be applied in the form of a pattern of a plurality of splices whose mean extension in a direction corresponding to the direction of the tensile and compressive stresses expected by the bending load is greater than in a direction transverse thereto. Due to the orientation at the loading direction even more adhesive can be saved and the density of the wrapping material is not increased so much, without thereby the bending stiffness would significantly decrease.
  • the expected load is mainly due to a compression, ie a bending load in the circumferential direction.
  • the bond it is very particularly preferable for the bond to be executed as a line pattern in the circumferential direction of the aerosol-generating article, so that the wrapping material in this direction receives a particularly high flexural rigidity.
  • direction on the wrapping material will later correspond to the circumferential direction on the aerosol-producing article produced therefrom.
  • the bonding can take place in such a way that the patterns of the adhesive application of each bond extend in different directions. Most preferably, the directions of two such patterns are substantially orthogonal to one another.
  • the adhesive and method of bonding the layers of the wrapping material may be selected by those skilled in the art.
  • the bonding of at least two layers of the wrapping material can preferably be used if the wrapping material is additionally intended to form a good barrier against the penetration of water or oil.
  • Some filters for aerosol-generating articles contain internally at least one capsule which contains at least one flavoring agent and, in use by the consumer, can be broken by pressure with the fingers to release the at least one flavoring agent.
  • the flavorant or associated solvent, such as water or oil may penetrate the wrapping material and create spots on the visible outside of the aerosol generating article that are undesirable.
  • the wrapping material may preferably be designed to resist oil penetration and a KIT level, as measured by TAPPI T559 cm-02, of at least 4, more preferably at least 6 and most preferably of at least 10 possesses.
  • a KIT level as measured by TAPPI T559 cm-02
  • Such resistance to oil penetration can be controlled, for example, by the amount of adhesive, the type of adhesive, and in particular the smoothness of the layers of sheath material to be bonded.
  • a high smoothness generally leads to the formation of a homogeneous, closed adhesive layer and thus also to a higher resistance to the penetration of oils.
  • the glue can preferably also contain fillers or other materials that control the barrier effect.
  • the wrapping material is preferably designed so that it forms a resistance to the ingestion of water.
  • the Cobb öo value measured according to ISO 535: 2014, can be used, which describes the amount of water absorbed in g / m 2 over a certain period of time. Since the water absorption capacity is also determined considerably by the weight per unit area of the coating material, it makes sense to refer the Cobb öo value to the weight per unit area in g / m 2 and thus arrive at a dimensionless ratio which is largely independent of surface area. weight describes.
  • the ratio of the Cobb öo value according to ISO 535: 2014 in g / m 2 divided by the weight per unit area of the wrapping material in g / m 2 is at most 0.80, more preferably at most 0.50 and especially preferably at most 0.20.
