  • the coating composition includes arabic gum, maltose, ethanol, and water.
  • Arabic gum may be prepared by drying and desalting the sap of the arabian gum tree.
  • 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 may reduce aging phenomena of the coating composition, which may extend the service life, the shelf life, the viscosity retention period of time, or the expiration date of the coating composition, compared to conventional coating compositions including alpha starch.
  • the dynamic viscosity retention rate in the dynamic situation in which a coating roller operates may be improved, and the viscosity change which may occur in the low temperature environment of about 2° C. may decrease greatly.
  • arabic gum is excellent in heat resistance, thereby maintaining the performance even at the high temperature, and an off-flavor generation during combustion in the drying process may be reduced.
  • Arabic gum may be 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.
  • Maltose may be included from about 25% to about 35% by weight based on the total coating composition. 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 may be 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 .
  • Water may be used from about 10% to about 40% by weight relative to the total coating composition. Within this range, the concentration and viscosity of the coating composition may further be controlled easily.
  • the various effects caused by the coating composition may be more pronounced when all the constituents are mixed as compared to when each constituent of the coating composition is present alone.
  • the various effects described above may occur by combining each constituent, and synergistic effects may also occur by combining each constituent.
  • the coating composition for the low ignition propensity cigarette paper includes about 10 wt % to about 30 wt % arabic gum, about 25 wt % to about 35 wt % maltose, about 15 wt % to about 30 wt % ethanol, and about 10 wt % to about 40 wt % water.

  • 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. In addition, when such materials are used in combination with the above-mentioned materials such as citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, or ascorbic acid, the expiration date of the coating composition may further be delayed.
  • the coating composition may further include one or more of xanthan gum, guar gum, amylopectin, and starch ester.

  • 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.
