Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a wrapper for a smoking article to create a reduced ignition propensity (IP) smoking article and, more particularly, to a smoking article having the ability to freeburn in a static state and reduced IP.
- IP ignition propensity
- cigarettes may ignite fire-prone substrates if the article is laid or accidentally contacts the substrate. Therefore, a cigarette prepared from a wrapper, which diminishes the ability of the article to ignite a substrate, may have the desirable effect of reducing cigarette-initiated fires.
- a wrapper that concurrently confers on the cigarette the ability to freeburn in a static state and reduced IP character allows a beneficial reduction in the tendency of the article to ignite fire-prone substrates while maintaining consumer acceptability.
- a factor that manufacturers consider in preparing a smoking article having reduced IP is whether currently used processes and equipment will remain substantially unchanged.
- One method for preparing a reduced IP paper involves the addition of elaborate equipment on a conventional papermaking machine. Cellulose fibers or particles suspended in water are sprayed from angular moving nozzles moving at an angle to a continuous forming moist web. This approach involves the coordinated angular movement of the spray nozzle and the about 400 feet per minute moving web to create spaced apart bands transverse to the web.
- the above-mentioned technology suffers from a number of deficiencies that limit consumer acceptability, IP reduction, and ease of manufacture.
- the technology requires expensive add-on equipment including a spray nozzle system and an associated slurry distribution system, pressure regulating system, and a means for carefully synchronizing the angular material distribution system with the underlying papermaking machine.
- the reduced consumer acceptable properties of the prepared cigarettes are due to factors including reduced ability of the cigarette to freeburn in the static state, poor ash appearance, and variable taste profile.
- Another technology involves adding discrete material regions to the dry web using organic solvent-based printing equipment.
- Organic solvents and non-aqueous soluble solutes are used to make the discrete regions on the web.
- the presence of organic solvents requires hoods to capture the solvent vapors and the corresponding further expenses.
- One commercial product claiming to possess reduced IP is characterized by a tendency to extinguish when left burning in the static state—that is reduced freeburn.
- the article displays a less desirable taste when relit after being extinguished.
- the cigarette may possess the reduced IP, the reduced freeburn property decreases consumer acceptability of the article.
- the present invention is directed to a smoking article having reduced IP.
- the smoking article includes a tobacco column, a wrapper surrounding the tobacco column and, optionally, a filter element.
- the wrapper has a base permeability, an untreated area and a least one discrete area treated with a composition to reduce the base permeability.
- the discretely treated area interacts with a coal of a burning tobacco firecone as it advances to self-extinguish the smoking article if the smoking article is left on a surface or causes the cigarette not to ignite the surface.
- NIST IP test the “cotton duck test”
- a smoldering cigarette on a test assembly composed of a cellulosic fabric over a foam block. Variations of the test use fabrics of various weights and polyethylene sheet backing. A test failure occurs when the fabric ignites.
- Another NIST IP test the “filter paper test”, involves placing a smoldering cigarette on a test assembly composed of layered filter paper sheets. Various forms of the test use 3, 10, and 15 layered filter paper sheets. A successful test result occurs when the cigarette self extinguishes before the whole tobacco column is consumed.
- the composition of the treated area includes at least a permeability reducing substance.
- Another substance in the treated are includes a burn rate retarding substance.
- Yet another substance in the treated area includes a burn rate accelerating substance. Either the burn rate retarding substance or the burn rate accelerating substance or both preferably acts as an organoleptic enhancing substance. In this way a smoker's experience when smoking either the at least one treated area or the untreated area is substantially the same.
- the composition of the treated area may include a filler component.
- the applied amount of the permeability reducing substance, the burn rate retarding substance, and the burn rate accelerating substance is such as to give the desired freeburn character and IP reduction to a finished article made from the wrapper.
- the quantity and the concentration of the applied composition will depend on factors including the absorbency of the web, polymer properties of the permeability reducing substance, whether the web is wet or dry, and the operating conditions of the application equipment.
- the burn rate accelerating substance may be an alkali metal or alkali earth containing salt.
- the burn rate accelerating substance may be an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid and the like.
- the salt of the carboxylic acid is a salt of citric acid.
- the alkali metal containing compound is preferably at least one of a sodium containing compound and a potassium containing compound.
- the burn rate accelerating substance may be monoammonium phosphate.
- the burn rate retarding substance may be a phosphate, preferably a phosphate of ammonium and more preferably a diammonium phosphate.
- the permeability reducing substance may be a pore filling substance, a film forming substance or combination thereof.
- the permeability reducing substance may be a polymer and, preferably, a polysaccharide.
- the contemplated polysaccharides are starch, including various mixtures of amylose, amylopectin and dextrin, modified starch and starch derivatives.
- the starch and starch derivatives may be water dispersible and, preferably, water soluble.
- Other contemplated polysaccharides include cellulose, cellulose derivatives, chitosan, chitosan derivatives, chitin, chitin derivatives, alginate, alginate derivatives and combinations thereof. These polysaccharides are preferably water dispersible and, more preferably, are water-soluble.
- the discretely treated area is a circumferential band about the body of the article.
- the band has a sufficient width so as to deprive the coal of the burning tobacco firecone of oxygen from behind a char line of the wrapper when the smoking article is placed on a surface. That may be achieved by a band width typically of at least about 3 millimeters.
- the discretely treated area includes at least two bands spaced sufficiently to reduce the IP of the smoking article.
- the two bands preferably have a center-to-center spacing of between about 10 millimeters to about 30 millimeters.
- the two bands may have a width of about 3 millimeters to about 10 millimeters.
- a center-to-center spacing is preferably about 25 millimeters.
- the discretely treated area preferably has a thickness and properties so a bobbin of the wrapper is useable in a commercially available smoking article manufacturing machine. Also, the discretely treated area is preferably visually substantially the same as the untreated area.
- Still another aspect of the present invention is to provide a population of smoking articles having a reduced IP.
- Each smoking article within the population includes a tobacco column, wrapper surrounding the tobacco column so that the smoking article includes an ignition end and a distal end, and at least one banded region, preferably at least two spaced apart banded regions, between the ignition end and the distal end having a combustion characteristic substantially different from that of an non-banded, untreated, region.
- a distance from the ignition end to the at least one of the banded region of each smoking article may be sequentially related, random, or quasi-random within a selected population.
- the selected population is a package of smoking articles and in another embodiment a grab sample of smoking articles.
- the distance from the ignition end to the at least one of the banded regions of each smoking article are sequentially related, random, or quasi-random.
- the IP of the selected population is between about 50 and about 100 percent for the population.
- the invention also provides a method of making a wrapper, of making a smoking article having reduced IP, and a composition for application to a paper to make a wrapper and a smoking article.

- FIG. 6 is a schematic of a package of smoking articles of any of FIG. 1, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C.
- a smoking article 10 includes a tobacco column 12 surrounded by a wrapper 14 .
- the smoking article 10 may, as an option, include a filter element 16 adjacent to the tobacco column 12 surrounded by the wrapper 14 .
- FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the smoking article 10 of FIG. 1 including certain aspects relating to the wrapper 14 , which is a modified cigarette paper.
- wrapper 14 includes untreated areas 20 alternating with treated areas 22 .
- Treated areas 22 include a combination of substances that interact with the wrapper 14 to create the reduced IP smoking article 10 .
- At least one of the substances in treated area 22 includes a permeability reducing substance.
- Another substance in treated area 22 includes a burn rate retarding substance.
- Yet another substance in treated area 22 includes a burn rate accelerating substance.
- another substance in the treated area includes filler.
- the permeability reducing substance may be a polymer.
- the polymer may be any one of a natural polymer, a derivative of a natural polymer, a synthetic polymer, and a combination of any of the preceding.
- polysaccharides are suitable as permeability reducing substances.
- the polysaccharides may be at least one of a starch, modified starch, starch derivative, cellulose, cellulose derivative, chitosan, chitosan derivative, chitin, chitin derivative, alginate, alginate derivative or a combination of any of the preceding. Any polysaccharide that suitably reduces the permeability of the wrapper would be appropriate for use as the permeability reducing substance.
- starch, modified starch, starch derivatives, cellulose and cellulose derivatives would act particularly well as permeability reducing substances.
- starch and starch derivatives work particularly well as the permeability reducing substance.
- Water soluble and water dispersible starch, starch derivatives, cellulose and cellulose derivatives would be more desirable than nonaqueous solvents and dispersants.
- Nonaqueous solvents may be harmful to workers, or environmentally regulated so that exhaust equipment that may be needed to capture organic solvent mists and vapors.
- a permeability reducing substance may interact with the wrapper in a number of ways.
- a permeability reducing substance may form a film on the wrapper 14 to reduce permeability by blocking pores in the wrapper 14 . That is, when the permeability reducing substance is applied to the wrapper 14 , a film is created that acts as a barrier to block the movement of gas through pores in the discretely treated area 22 .
- a permeability reducing substance may act to fill pores and thereby reduce the porosity of the wrapper 14 .
- a discretely treated area 22 possesses porosity or gas permeability less than that of the untreated area 20 of the wrapper 14 .
- a permeability reducing substance may both form a film on the wrapper 14 and act to fill pores in the wrapper 14 so that a discretely treated area 22 possesses a porosity or gas permeability less than that of the untreated area 20 of the wrapper 14 .
- the permeability in the discretely treated area 22 of wrapper 14 may be less than about 10 CU (CORESTA units, cm 3 /min/cm 2 at 1 kPa measuring pressure as substantially measured according to CORESTA [Cooperative Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco, Paris, France] Recommended Method N o 40: Determination of Air Permeability of Materials Used as Cigarette Paper, Filter Plug Wrap and Filter Joining Paper including Materials Having an Oriented Permeable Zone, October 1994, published in Bulletin 1994-3/4, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference) and is preferably less than about 7 CU.
- the band area, and optionally untreated area may contain a perforation zone produced by methods such as electrostatic and mechanical perforation and the like that are known to those skilled in the art.
- Applicants have discovered the unexpected property that a banded area, possessing a perforation zone, may exhibit a relatively high apparent permeability while still conferring a reduced IP character on an article made from the thus treated paper.
- the permeability of a perforated band may be less than about 60 CU.
- a burn rate retarding substance includes any substance that reduces the smolder rate of materials such as paper, cloth and plastic, and may also increase their resistance to flaming combustion.
- Phosphates have been found to work well and, in particular, phosphates of ammonium.
- a particular preferred phosphate of ammonium is the diammonium phosphate (having synonyms such as diammonium hydrogenphosphate; DAP; diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate; phosphoric acid, diammonium salt; and ammonium hydrogen phosphate).
- a burn rate retarding substance may have additional beneficial benefits including unexpected improved organoleptic properties discovered by applicants. To that end, applicants have found that consumers detect a more pleasing smoke taste when the burn rate retarding substance is present in the discretely treated area 22 in smoking article 10 according to the present invention.
- a burn rate retarding substance also may cooperate with a permeability reducing substance in another unexpected synergistic manner. That is, the inclusion of a burn rate retarding substance may reduce the amount of a permeability reducing substance that may need to be applied to a discretely treated area 22 . This may have an impact on the manufacturability of a wrapper 14 according to the present invention by decreasing the amount of permeability reducing material needed to achieve IP reduction.
- a burn rate accelerating substance includes any substance known to increase the rate at which the smolder process of such materials as paper, cloth and plastic takes place. Such a substance may contribute to the free burn of a smoking article 10 according to the present invention.
- a reduced IP smoking article 10 self-extinguishes when placed onto a surface and continues to burn when the smoking article 10 is freely suspended such as within the holder of an ashtray or held without puffing. This latter attribute is known as “freeburn.”
- a burn rate accelerating substance interacts with the wrapper 14 , the permeability reducing substance, and the burn rate retarding substance to create a discretely treated area 22 that works to maintain the balance between self-extinguishment and freeburn.
- a burn rate accelerating substance may be a salt such as an alkali metal and an alkali earth metal containing salt and, preferably, one containing an alkali metal preferably sodium, potassium and sodium and potassium.
- the salt may be a salt of a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid and the like. In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is a salt of a citric acid.
- the burn rate accelerating substance may be monoammonium phosphate.
- a burn rate accelerating substance may have additional beneficial benefits including unexpected organoleptic enhancing abilities discovered by applicants.
- applicants have found that consumers detect substantially no difference between smoking an untreated area 20 and a discretely treated area 22 in smoking article 10 according to the present invention. This removes the need for difficult to achieve gradations, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,878,753, between a discretely treated area 22 and untreated areas 20 to maintain a substantially consistent organoleptic experience for the consumer.
- a filler substance includes particulate materials such clay, chalk (calcium carbonate), and titanium oxide. Applicants believe that the presence of filler may be beneficial during the manufacture of discretely treated areas 22 by allowing the appearance, particularly the opacity, of discretely treated areas 22 to be carefully controlled so as to be substantially the same as the untreated region 20 .
- a manufacturing of discretely treated areas 22 may be made by applying compositions that are applicable to the wrapper 14 when the wrapper 14 might be in a wet or dry state or a semi-wet state.
- compositions that are applicable to the wrapper 14 when the wrapper 14 might be in a wet or dry state or a semi-wet state.
- the quantity and the concentration of the applied composition will depend on factors including the absorbency of the web, properties of the permeability reducing substance, whether the web is wet or dry, and the operating conditions of the application equipment.
- the composition may be applied by a number of known methods including spraying, stenciling, flexographic printing, gravure printing, and the like including both multiple-pass and single-pass processes.
- the composition for affecting the discretely treated areas may be applied on one side of the base paper such that the formed band 22 faces the tobacco-side 12 after making article 10 from the banded paper.
- the composition may be applied on both sides of the paper or applied such that the formed band 22 faces the outside or consumer-side after making article 10 from the banded paper.
- Manufacturing of reduced IP smoking articles is preferably accomplished using a reel, or bobbin, length of wrapper 14 with discretely treated areas 22 and untreated areas 20 .
- a bobbin of banded paper in a cigarette-making machine will provide a population of banded smoking articles having a reduced IP. That is, each smoking article within the population will include a tobacco column, wrapper surrounding said tobacco column so that the smoking article includes an ignition end and a distal end, and at least one banded region, preferably at least two spaced apart banded regions, between the ignition end and the distal end whereby the distance from the ignition end to the at least one of the banded region of each smoking article may be random (substantially as depicted in FIG.
- the population may any population such as a grab sample and a package of cigarettes as depicted in FIG. 6.
- IP tests incorporate a fixed burn-down distance in which the article is burned before being placed on the test substrate. In real-world ignition scenarios the article may burn down to any distance with respect to the ignition end of the article before contacting a substrate. Therefore, a sequentially related, random, or quasi-random band position will increase the probability that any individual member of the banded article population may prevent ignition of a prone substrate when the article is burned down to a random distance before substrate contact.
- bands may be registered at a fixed distance with respect to the ignition end of article 10 .
- the preferred embodiment of this invention is for the manufacture of reduced IP articles having a sequentially related, random, or quasi-random band position with respect to the ignition end of article 10 .
- freeburn was measured by igniting a cigarette and placing the smoldering article horizontally in a holder. The article was allowed to statically smolder without the column or ember contacting a surface. A positive freeburn result occurred when the cigarette was consumed to the filter element.
- Two banded wrappers were made by applying permeability reducing compositions on base paper A using gravure printing. About 60,000 cigarettes were made for each of a high band weight wrapper type, designated 1-C, a low band weight wrapper type, designated 1-B, and a conventional non-banded wrapper, designated 1-A, as a control. All cigarette types were tested for IP according to the NIST (10-sheet) filter paper IP test and freeburn.

- the citrate salt was a mixture of sodium citrate dihydrate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.) and potassium citrate monohydrate (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.) in an about 1:2.8 weight/weight ratio.
- the composition was heated at approximately 87° C. for about 15 minutes.
- Table 14 indicates IP and freeburn results for cigarette types 6-A, 6-B, and 6-C.
- Cigarette IP was measured, using about 20 replicates, by the NIST (10-sheet) filter paper test. The freeburn character was measured using about 64 replicates for article types 6-A and 6-B and about 16 replicates for article type 6-C.
- Both the burn rate retarding substance (such as DAP) and the burn rate accelerating substance (such as sodium/potassium citrate salt) are beneficial band additives that influence the ability of the article to freeburn.
- High levels of the permeability reducing substance (such as starch) deposited in the band may increase the IP pass rate of the cigarette (see Example 4), but will decrease the ability of the cigarette to freeburn particularly when combined with the burn rate retarding substance (see Example 5).
- the burn rate accelerating substance (such as sodium/potassium citrate salt) is a beneficial band component because this burn promoter can be used to increase the ability of a heavily banded cigarette to freeburn while maintaining concurrent reduced IP character.
- Cigarette type 7-A was made from cigarette paper A gravure printed with a composition containing about 18.18 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), about 1.01 weight percent monoammonium phosphate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.), and about 80.81 weight percent tap water. The composition was heated at approximately 87° for about 15 minutes.
- Cigarette type 7-B was made from cigarette paper A gravure printed with a composition containing about 17.82 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), about 2.97 weight percent monoammonium phosphate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.), and about 79.21 weight percent tap water. The composition was heated at approximately 87° C. for about 15 minutes.
- Table 15 indicates IP and freeburn results for cigarettes 7-A and 7-B.
- Article IP was measured, using about 20 replicates, by the NIST (10-sheet) filter paper test.
- the freeburn character was measured using about 16 replicates.
- the IP results indicate that starch combined with monoammonium phosphate is an effective IP reducing material in the present application in which band position is random on the individual articles in the population.
- One smoking articles was made using a banded wrapper, an about 63 millimeter tobacco column length, an about 21 millimeter cellulose acetate non-air diluted filter section, and cigarette tobacco blend.
- the cigarette was made on a conventional cigarette-making machine.
- Cigarette type 8-A was made from cigarette paper A gravure printed with a composition containing about 15.24 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), about 0.95 weight percent DAP (Rhodia, Carnbury, N.J.), about 7.62 weight percent microcrystalline cellulose (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis., Catalog #31,069-7), and about 76.19 weight percent tap water.
- the starch/DAP composition heated at approximately 87° C. for about 15 minutes then the cellulose component was dispersed before printing.
- the composition used to band article type 8-B contained about 14.61 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), about 0.97 weight percent DAP (Rhodia, Carnbury, N.J.), about 2.16 weight percent sodium citrate dihydrate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.), about 6.05 weight percent potassium citrate monohydrate (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.), about 4.40 weight percent colloidal cellulose (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.; Catalog #43,524-4), and about 71.82 weight percent tap water.
- the starch/DAP/citrate salt composition was heated at approximately 90° C. for about 20 minutes then the cellulose component was dispersed before applying the material to articles.
- Cigarette type 8-B was hand banded with the starch/DAP/cellulose composition to give a circumferential band, about 7 millimeters wide, around the body of a smoking article.
- the circumferential band was positioned about 20 millimeters from the ignition end of the finished article.
- the smoking article was prepared using cigarette paper A, an about 72 millimeter tobacco column length, an about 25 millimeter cellulose acetate non-air diluted filter section, and a cigarette tobacco blend.
- the fixed-position band of article type 8-B was applied on the smoking article by hand using an aluminum printing plate, and the wet weight of added material was measured.
- the applied total dry weight of banding material was calculated to be about 1.4 milligrams.
- Table 16 indicates IP and freeburn results for cigarettes 8-A and 8-B.
- Cigarette IP was measured, using about 20 replicates for 8-A and 4 replicates for 8-B, by the NIST (10-sheet) filter paper test.
- the freeburn character was measured using about 16 replicates for 8-A and 4 replicates for 8-B.
- the IP results indicate that starch/DAP, or more preferably starch/DAP/citrate salt, combined with cellulose is an effective IP reducing material in the present application in which band position is either random or fixed on the individual articles in the population.
- Cigarette types 9-A and 9-B were hand banded with compositions to give a circumferential band, about 7 millimeters wide, around the body of a smoking article.
- the circumferential band was positioned about 20 millimeters from the ignition end of the finished article.
- the smoking article was prepared using cigarette paper A, an about 72 millimeter tobacco column length, an about 25 millimeter cellulose acetate non-air diluted filter section, and a cigarette tobacco blend.
- the fixed-position band of was applied on the smoking article by hand using an aluminum printing plate, and the wet weight of added material was measured.
- the applied dry weights of banding materials were calculated and found to be about 1.4 milligrams (total dry material weight) for article type 9-A and about 0.82 milligrams (total dry material weight) for article type 9-B.
- the composition used to band article type 9-A contained about 14.47 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), 0.96 weight percent DAP (Rhodia, Carnbury, N.J.), about 2.14 weight percent sodium citrate dihydrate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.), about 6.00 weight percent potassium citrate monohydrate (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.), about 5.30 weight percent calcium carbonate (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.; Catalog #31,003-4), and about 71.14 weight percent tap water.
- the starch/DAP/citrate salt composition was heated at approximately 90° C. for about 20 minutes then the calcium carbonate component was dispersed before applying the material to the articles.
- the composition used to band article type 9-B contained about 14.56 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), 0.96 weight percent DAP (Rhodia, Carnbury, N.J.), about 2.15 weight percent sodium citrate dihydrate (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.), about 6.04 weight percent potassium citrate monohydrate (J. T. Baker, Phillipsburg, N.J.), about 4.70 weight percent Kaolin clay (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.; Catalog #22,883-4), and about 71.59 weight percent tap water.
- the starch/DAP/citrate salt composition was heated at approximately 90° C. for about 20 minutes then the Kaolin clay component was dispersed before applying the material to the articles.
- Table 17 indicates IP and freeburn results for cigarettes 9-A and 9-B.
- Cigarette IP was measured, using about 4 replicates, by the NIST (10-sheet) filter paper test.
- the freeburn character was measured using about 4 replicates.
- the IP results indicate that starch/DAP/citrate salt combined with filler, such as calcium carbonate, clay, and the like, is an effective IP reducing material in the present application in which band position is fixed on the individual articles in the population.
- article 9-B incorporates Kaolin clay as a band component, which appears to synergistically enhance the performance of the burn rate retarding substance and/or the permeability reducing substance.
- article 9-A incorporates an alkali earth salt, calcium carbonate, known to act as paper burn rate accelerating substance, which may interact synergistically with the burn rate accelerating component.
- the filler component may cooperate with the permeability reducing substance.
- a series of base cigarette papers were banded with a composition containing Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.) and DAP (Rhodia, Cranbury, N.J.).
- Smoking articles were made using separate banded wrappers, an about 63 millimeter tobacco column length, an about 21 millimeter cellulose acetate non-air diluted filter section, and a cigarette tobacco blend.
- the cigarettes were made on a conventional cigarette-making machine.
- Cigarette types were made from a series of cigarette papers, as listed in Table 18, gravure printed with a composition containing about 21.36 weight percent Flokote-64® starch (National Starch, Berkeley, Calif.), about 0.97 weight percent DAP (Rhodia, Cranbury, N.J.), and about 77.67 weight percent tap water. The composition was heated at approximately 87° C. for about 15 minutes. TABLE 18 Summary of Banded Cigarette IP and Freeburn Data. Cigarette Type Base Paper IP Pass (%)* Freeburn (%) 10-A A 100 34 10-B D 100 56.3 10-C B 100 57.0 10-D F 100 62.5 10-B G 80 100 10-F A** 100 43.8 10-G H 50 100
- IP and freeburn data in Table 18 demonstrate that at constant applied band composition, and application method, results may vary depending on the structure of the base paper.
- increasing the applied amount of the composition will increase IP pass rate for higher base paper permeability types (such as 10-E and 10-G).
- the freeburn value may be increased by the incorporation of a burn rate accelerating substance in the band.
- Article type 10-F used an about 18 CU base paper (A) electrostatically perforated, before band printing, to about 70 CU. After banding, the permeability in the band region was measured as about 57 CU. Article type 10-A, utilizing base paper A, had a measured band permeability of about 5 CU. Interestingly, article types 10-A and 10-F gave similar IP and freeburn results. This example demonstrates the unexpected result that perforation in the banded region, at the level applied, does not degrade the IP performance. Applicants fully anticipate higher levels of perforation may give similar results.
- Smoke delivery is the quantity of various smoke components produced by the article during its consumption. For this example, carbon monoxide was used as a surrogate for all components delivered by the article.
- An article manufactured from a paper containing a banded region of lower permeability than the non-banded region may display increased smoke delivery relative to the non-banded control article. The width, spacing, composition, and number of the bands may also affect smoke delivery changes.
