Bio-degradable Filters for Cigarettes
The invention concerns a bio-degradable filter according5 to the preamble of Patent claim 1.
In the case of cigarettes, paper filters represent thebest solution from the ecological viewpoint. Despite thepoor success of purely paper filters, there is to be a10 reversion to these because of several material-specificproperties of paper.
The main problem of paper filters is the different natureof the taste of smoke when compared to conventional15 cellulose acetate filter cigarettes. Further problems arerepresented by the clearly different rétention, andclearly inferior hardness with same rétention and acoarse pore structure of the filter section surface whencompared with cellulose acetate filters. 20
These problems lead to the smoker rejecting cigaretteswith paper filters on taste, Visual and haptic grounds.
The main cause of this can be seen in the different form 25 of materials. The paper lies in the form of non-wovenfabric or leaf, while cellulose acetate is in the form offibre. Ail differing treatment processes e.g. thediffering strength of crimping or pleating of the nonwoven fabric of paper, so as to achieve the visual and 30 haptic properties of cellulose acetate, hâve failed. Thushitherto no process is known for changing paper in itsChemical rétention so as to correspond to acetate. As aconséquence of the unresolved problem, cigarettes todayare composed of a double filter, containing one paper and 35 one cellulose segment. 2 011413
This form of embodiment is cèrtainly dear because ofcomplicated production techniques and not yet idéal fromthe ecological point of view. 5 From EP 0 032 044 Bl, there is known a process for theproduction of a fibre web with loosely packed fibres,whereby the dry threads are brought up in an air streamto a sifter on a conveyer. The fibres are subjected inpassing to a shaping head and on their emergence are not 10 subjected to any cross current forces, so that anessentially uniform basic weight is maintained in thetransverse direction of the fibre web. Thus fibre beddingcan be produced with surface weights of more than 70g/m2'This familiar process is called "Air-laid". Because of 15 the fluffiness of the cotton-wool-like material, it isnot possible to produce a cigarette filter, however.
The EP-A-0 711 512 discloses a cigarette filter thatconsists mainly of cellulose ester. Here, the filter 20 material, and thus the cellulose ester can also containother substances that are described as secondary orsecond rank components. Amongst these other substancesthat can be additionally présent, there belongs interalia natural cellulose. 25
It is the task of the invention to develop a singlefilter that is clearly more bio-degradable than celluloseacetate and also maintains indistinguishably the tasteimpression, the appearance, the hardness and the 30 rétention property of cellulose acetate for the consumer.
For the solution of this problem, there serve thecharacteristics of claim 1. 35 Surprisingly, it has been shown that a paper which wasmanufactured using a so-called air-laid process and 011413 further processed to a filter in the manner according tothe invention achieves the set object.
In the air-laid process, the prepared cellulose fibres5 are not suspended in water as in the standard papermanufacturing process, passed for sheet forming to apermeable sieve on which the cellulose fibres,conditioned by their beating and fibrillation, cross-linkwith each other mechanically, but are' passed maximally 10 separated into a stream of air that transports them ontoa permeable continuous sieve and stacks them randomly onthe latter. This yields an almost cottonwool-likevoluminous fleece which thus does not demonstrate anymechanical strength or fibre linkage. A mechanical bond 15 and thus the necessary mechanical strength which isrequired for further processing is obtained by adding abinder such as, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polymer starch, dextrin or latex in a stream ofair. The degree of the density (g/cm3) and thus of the 20 voluminosity or thickness is set by subséquentcalendering. The area weight (g/m2) is controlled via thesieve velocity or the introduction of fibre into thestream of air. 25 The invention is explained in the following withreference to an embodiment; there are shown: 30
Figure 1 a fibre web manufactured according to the air-laid process with cutting Unes running inlongtitudinal direction;
Figure 2 35 Figure 3 the indicated manner of folding of the airfibre web strips; the spiral winding of the fibre web strips ofFigure 2. 011413
Figure 1 shows a fibre web 10 manufacturée! using the air-laid process with a unit weight of approximately 40-50g/cm2 that is eut into a number of n fibre web strips5 beginning from a line A-A, with n = 5 for the embodimentshown. It is pointed out, however, that n can also beanother number, 4 or 6 for example, n = 4 being apreferred number which cannot however be portrayed wellin graphical terms in the spiral arrangement according to10 Figure 3.
The five fibre web strips 1-5 which are obtained bylengthwise cuts in the fibre web 10 of Figure 2, are,according to the invention, first folded in a V-shape by15 a suitable device, such as is shown in Figure 2. The freeends of the fibre web strips 1-5 folded in a V shape arethen laid against each other, and the strips broughttogether by a suitable device so that the apices 14 ofthe fibre web strips folded in a V-shape are arranged in20 the région around the central axis of the cigarettefilter to be manufactured, and, lying against each otherin a spiral, are thus twisted into a cylindrical casingas is shown schematically in cross-section in Figure 3.In reality, due to an initial compression, the individual25 fibre web strips 1-5 lie so tightly pressed togetherafter the spiral winding according to Figure 3 that theimpression is thereby created of a homogenous, closedfilter that looks like the mouth-side end of a celluloseacetate filter. In other words, because of the "fleecy30 softness" of the material, it is no longer possible torecognise that only a few layers of fibre web strips arethus twisted together in a spiral as is shown in Figure 3. 35 The wrapped fibre web strips 1-5 wound according toFigure 3 are held together in the usual way by a filter 5 011413 covering paper 12 so that the paper filter according tothe invention has the appearance of a cellulose acetatefilter once it is completed. 5 Examples :

Resuit :
The analytically and physically determined data wereproduced according to currently valid DIN/ISO provisions,and show no différences within the framework of15 measurement accuracies. The taste évaluation was carriedout by 15 trained smokers, and did not lead tosignificant différences in the pair comparisons.
The biodégradation of the cigarette filter materialaccording to the invention takes place within a time span20 comparable to (cigarette) cellulose filter materialcustomary in the trade. This means a clear improvementcompared with cellulose acetate. The évaluation ofbiodegradability takes place according to the "Sturmtest" customary in the industry which is described by R. 25 N. Sturm in J. Americ. Oil Chemists' Soc. 50 (1973) May, pp. 159-167 in the article "Biodegradability of nonionicsurfactants: screening test for predicting rate and ultimate biodégradation".
