Definitions
- This invention relates to free-burn rate control of a burning cigarette and more particularly, to cigarettes which have low ignition propensity and when set down are capable of self-extinguishing for purposes of safety.
- the free-bum rate can be reduced to a level where the cigarette self-extinguishes if the cigarette falls onto a surface and is left idle for an extended period of time, such as two minutes or more.
- An example of such a cigarette is described in Canadian Patent 1 ,211 ,021 , wherein the wrapper has a low porosity, contains one or more free-burn rate-retarding substances, and is substantially free of a burn promoter.
- Another example has been described in U.S. Patent 4,622,983, wherein the low ignition propensity cigarette has a wrapper with a Burn Mode Index of 1.5 cm "1 to 5.0 cm "1 and a burn promoter such as an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid.
- a free-bum rate reducing material may be applied as a band to the cigarette paper, which will provide low ignition propensity if it is left to burn into the banded area of free-burn rate reduction material. Examples of such a system are described in U.S. Patents 5,474,095,
- U.S. Patent Application 2002/0179105 describes a low ignition propensity cigarette having a base wrapper with an untreated area and at least one discrete area treated with a composition to control the free-bum rate.
- the composition comprises a permeability reducing substance (e.g. starch and cellulose), a free-bum rate retarding substance (e.g. phosphates of ammonium) and a free-burn rate accelerating substance (e.g. alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts of carboxylic acids).
- European Patent Application 559,300 describes a wrapper for a conventional cigarette or an aerosol cigarette.

- U.S. Patent 4,615,345 describes a self-extinguishing cigarette with a wrapper made of a cellulose fiber base, which provides the low ignition propensity, and the wrapper further includes zones of burn promoter.
- the material is an alkali metal burn promoter such as a potassium salt of citric acid.
- Other alternatives are described in U.S. Patents 2,666,437 and
- U.S. Patent 4,945,932 describes a self-extinguishing cigarette with a wrapper that comprises areas with lesser and greater air permeability in the form of patterned zones.
- Most of these systems have in common the feature of reducing free- burn rate by using free-bum rate modifiers, which are consumed during the combustion of the cigarette.
- the consumption of the free-bum rate modifier may adversely affect various characteristics of the cigarette such as side- stream smoke, flavour, taste, and ash characteristics of the cigarette.
- a low ignition propensity cigarette having a self-extinguishing cigarette wrapper which is capable of self-extinguishing the cigarette
- a low ignition propensity cigarette having a tobacco rod and a wrapper surrounding the tobacco rod and having a base permeability
- the wrapper comprising an untreated area and at least one discrete area treated with a composition to reduce the base permeability so that as a coal of a burning cigarette advances along the treated area, the cigarette self-extinguishes if placed on a surface
- the improvement comprising: the composition having the oxygen storage and donor oxidation metal oxide to support and maintain the burning coal as it advances along the treated area.
- a banded low ignition propensity cigarette comprises a tobacco rod wrapped with a cigarette paper, the wrapper has at least one band encompassing the wrapper.
- a low ignition propensity cigarette comprises a tobacco rod wrapped with a cigarette wrapper.
- the wrapper has a low porosity level for self-extinguishing the burning tobacco rod.
- the wrapper has circumferential zones of an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to support a free-burn rate which maintains free-burn of the tobacco rod along the zones.
- a method of extinguishing a cigarette when set down on a surface comprises allowing an advancing burning cigarette coal to burn into the band of a cigarette wrapper which reduces free burn rate to a level which self- extinguishes the cigarette if it remains on the surface, the band comprising the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide in an amount which supports free burn of the burning coal advancing through the band while retaining the self- extinguishing property of the cigarette wrapper.
- a low ignition propensity cigarette which is capable of self-extinguishing
- the cigarette comprising a tobacco rod having a tobacco density which is capable of self-extinguishing the cigarette and the wrapper having circumferential zones of the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to support a free burn rate which maintains free burn of the tobacco rod along the zones.
- a low sidestream smoke cigarette having low ignition propensity properties comprising a wrapper about a tobacco rod.
- the wrapper having a composition which reduces sidestream smoke from a burning cigarette and comprises, in combination, an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide catalyst and an essentially non-combustible finely divided porous particulate adjunct for the catalyst.
- the sidestream smoke reducing composition reducing porosity of the wrapper to render the cigarette as self-extinguishable.
- the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide catalyst is in an amount which supports free burn of the cigarette while retaining the self-extinguishing property of the cigarette wrapper.
- a low sidestream smoke cigarette having low ignition propensity properties comprising a wrapper about a tobacco rod.
- the wrapper having a composition which reduces sidestream smoke from a burning cigarette and comprises, in combination, an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide catalyst and an essentially non-combustible finely divided porous particulate adjunct for the catalyst.
- the sidestream smoke reducing composition reducing porosity of the wrapper to render the cigarette as self-extinguishable.
- the wrapper having a circumferential zone of the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide catalyst to support a free burn rate along the zone without self-extinguishing.
- a wrapper of the above aspects of the invention for reducing sidestream smoke and/or providing for self-extinguishment of the cigarette.
- a double wrap self-extinguishing cigarette having an inner and an outer wrapper.
- One of the inner and outer wrapper comprises an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to support and maintain free-burn of a self-extinguishing cigarette while retaining the low ignition propensity property of a self-extinguishing cigarette wrapper.
- an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide functions very well in balancing these two mechanisms to provide a low ignition propensity cigarette which has acceptable free-burn or static-bum properties.
- Free-bum or static-burn implies burning of a cigarette while idling between smoker's fingers, sitting on an edge of an ashtray or the like.
- the oxygen donor metal oxide supports the combustion of the cigarette but does not accelerate combustion of the cigarette in the manner that prior art burn accelerators do.
- the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide of this invention is not consumed in the reaction, instead simply has a change of oxidation state during which oxygen is released as it changes oxidation states and then when it changes back to its' original state, picks up the oxygen from surroundings.
- the oxygen donor metal oxide is not consumed in the reaction, thereby remaining in the cigarette ash.
- the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide functions as a source of oxygen which is released in a controlled manner as the metal oxide changes oxidation states so that the oxygen supports the free-burn of the cigarette and is not consumed in the reaction as are burn accelerants, such as citrates.
- the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide performs a very beneficial function in a low ignition propensity cigarette by supporting and maintaining a desired free-burn for a self-extinguishing cigarette.
- the oxygen donor material contributes oxygen to provide for free-burn so that the cigarette fire coal continues to advance along the cigarette.
- the oxygen donor material overcomes the burn retarding activities of the low porosity cigarette wrapper and/or high density tobacco rod. Not only is it possible to provide a self- extinguishing cigarette by providing a wrapper, which either contributes to or controls the self-extinguishing feature, but alternatively, the tobacco rod can also be designed to provide a self-extinguishing cigarette.
- the tobacco rod may be manufactured to include, along its length, higher density portions, which burn more slowly and self-extinguish if left unattended for any length of time.
- a higher density for the tobacco rod may be employed throughout the length of the tobacco rod or sections of the tobacco rod may have higher density to slow down and, if unaided by an oxygen donor source, self-extinguishes the cigarette.
- a combination of tobacco rod density and cigarette paper modifications can be employed to provide a cigarette with a balanced low ignition propensity property and a desired free- bum property. In most situations, an acceptable free-burn in a low ignition propensity cigarette is that the cigarette remains lit for a period of time, greater that 30 seconds through to about 4 minutes.
- the preferred free-bum time is usually greater than about 1.5 minutes, and most preferably greater than about 2 minutes when set down on a surface.
- a smoker puffs on the cigarette every minute to one and a half minutes a low ignition propensity cigarette preferably remains lit for greater than about two minutes of static burn or free-bum.
- a cigarette paper is made by applying thereto or incorporating therein, a composition which greatly reduces the porosity of the paper.
- This reduction in porosity of the paper may be due to the addition to the paper of a desired constituent for treating mainstream or sidestream smoke, for example, the addition of a high surface area component such as metal oxides or the like.
- a high surface area component such as metal oxides or the like.
- Such paper is of such low porosity that when lit, it almost immediately extinguishes.
- added to the paper is an oxygen donor which supports combustion of the tobacco.
- the oxygen donor material is applied to the paper in a way that it is included along the paper to provide a combustion rate for a pre-determined period of time such that the burning coal temperature is lowered and will provide for self- extinguishment if the cigarette is set down on a surface.
- the oxygen donor composition is applied as zones, such as the zones described in U.S. Patent 4,615,345, to the paper to provide annular zones along the cigarette paper which sustain free-bum adjacent annular bands of cigarette paper which are self-extinguishing. Based on normal or conventional smoking techniques with approximately 8 to 10 puffs per cigarette, the zones are approximately 15 to 25 mm in length along the cigarette and the bands are approximately 2 to 10 mm in length.
- the oxygen donor material may be applied to the paper by either incorporation or impregnation in the paper along the length of the paper or applied in zones or bands, such as by coating or impregnation. If the wrapper is a double wrapper, the inner or outer wrapper may be treated with the porosity reducing agents so as to become self-extinguishing and then either in the inner wrapper or the outer wrapper, oxygen donor material is used to support free-bum of the cigarette to the extent desired.
- the oxygen donor material is preferably applied on an outer wrapper which places the oxygen donor material adjacent the outside face of the inner wrapper. The coating or impregnation of the wrapper with the treatment composition to provide the self-extinguishing bands does not add appreciably to the thickness of the wrapper.
- the free-burn rate control mechanism is provided by adding or including a selected amount of oxygen donor material such as cerium oxide with a very slow burning cigarette paper.
- the oxygen donor material is surprisingly effective in supplying sufficient oxygen to support the desired extent of combustion. In the absence of the oxygen donor material or at reduced levels thereof, the cigarette self-extinguishes due to low ignition propensity when set down on a upholstered furniture or the like.
- an adsorbent may be applied to or incorporated into the cigarette paper to achieve certain desired results in the treatment of mainstream or sidestream smoke.
- the porosity of the paper may approach zero. Normally this paper would be useless although, surprisingly in accordance with this invention, the use of an oxygen donor such as cerium oxide supplies sufficient oxygen to permit the non-porous paper to burn.
- an oxygen donor such as cerium oxide supplies sufficient oxygen to permit the non-porous paper to burn.
- a predetermined amount of cerium oxide for example, in the range of about 10% to 15% by weight of the paper may be used. The amount of cerium oxide is sufficient to support combustion for up to about two minutes before the cigarette self-extinguishes.
- cerium oxide may be applied to the cigarette paper as zones which supply sufficient oxygen to promote free-burn rate through the zone of cerium oxide material. Once the burning coal enters the region where there is no oxygen storage and donor material or very little of such material, the cigarette coal temperature drops dramatically to self-extinguish and provide a low ignition propensity cigarette.
- Typical basis weights of these papers is about 20 to 125 g/m 2 .
- the amount of oxygen storage and donor metal oxide may range from about 5 to 60% by weight. A more preferred range is from about 10 to 50% by weight of the paper and the most preferred range is from about 10 to 30% by weight of the paper.
- the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide may perform other functions such as an oxidation catalyst.
- catalyst emphasizes that the oxygen donor oxidation catalyst may change oxidation state to release an oxygen molecule, but the catalyst is not consumed in the reaction.
- the oxygen donor material include oxygen storage and donor metal oxide oxidation catalyst, such as, transition metal oxides, rare earth metal oxides, a solid solution of mixed metal oxides, and mixtures thereof.

- the adjunct may be of low surface area, usually in excess of 5 m 2 /g through to high surface area porous adjuncts having surface areas greater than 20 m /g.
- the porous adjunct may have pores with an average diameter of less than 100 nm (100 ⁇ A).
- the pores have an average diameter of less than 20 nm (200 A) and even more preferred are pores with an average diameter of 0.5 to 10nm (5-100 A). With zeolite based materials, the pores have an average diameter in the range of about 0.5 to 1.3 nm (5-13 A).
- the particulate adjunct may have an average particle size of less than about 30 ⁇ m, more preferably less than about 20 ⁇ m and most preferably less than 1 ⁇ m up to about 5 ⁇ m.

- Preferred zeolites include hydrophobic zeolites and mildly hydrophobic zeolites which have affinity for hydrophobic and mildly hydrophobic organic compounds of such sidestream smoke whereby water vapour is avoided.
- the zeolite materials provide a highly porous structure which selectively absorbs and adsorbs components of sidestream smoke.
- the highly porous structure generally comprise macropores amongst the particles and micropores within the particles which branch off of the macropores.
- the zeolite materials may be characterized by the following formula: Mm M' n M"p[aAIO 2 • b SiO 2 . cTO 2 ] wherein

- M' is a divalent cation
- M" is a trivalent cation

- Preferred zeolites of the above formula have the specific formulas of faujasites ((Na 2 , Ca, Mg)29[AI 58 Sii 34 O 3 84] ⁇ 240 H 2 0; cubic), ⁇ -zeolites (Na n [Al n Si64-nOi28] with n ⁇ 7; tetragonal), Mordenite zeolites (Na ⁇ [Al ⁇ Si4o ⁇ 96] ⁇ 24 H 2 0; orthorhombic), ZSM zeolites (Na n [AlnSi96-nOi9 2 ] ⁇ 16 H 2 O with n ⁇ 27; orthorhombic), and mixtures thereof.
- sorptive material various grades may be used. This is particularly true with gradients of zeolites which can be custom designed to selectively adsorb, for example, high boiling point materials, mid boiling point materials and low boiling point materials. This can lead to layers of the zeolite composition where the cerium oxide or other suitable catalyst contemplated by this invention is preferably dispersed throughout these layers. The layers may then be bound on cigarette paper for the tobacco rod by using a binder or an adhesive which may be, for example, polyvinylacetate, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), starches and casein or soya proteins, and mixtures thereof.

- the adjuncts and fillers may include metal oxides, metal salts as ash conditioners, calcium carbonate, zeolites, mixed metal oxides, binding clays, inorganic binders, milled fibers, monolithic mineral based materials and non- combustible activated carbon.
- the binders and adjunct for the catalysts may be used as porosity reducing agents. These porosity reducing agents may be incorporated into the paper during the manufacture to develop low porosity paper or may be coated on conventional cigarette paper to reduce the paper porosity. With most low ignition propensity cigarettes the porosity is usually less than 10 Coresta units and may in some circumstances drop as low as 0 Coresta units.

- adjuncts in combination with the oxygen donor can greatly decrease the porosity of the cigarette paper.
- the low porosity paper can still burn.
- the amount of oxygen donor selected is such to reduce the cigarette burning coal temperature to provide a low ignition propensity cigarette. If the cigarette is set down, it may self-extinguish after a predetermined period of time, usually no more than four minutes.
- This aspect of the invention provides a significant advance in allowing one to design a low porosity paper for enhancing a characteristic of the cigarette and then using an oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to maintain a desired reduced free-burn rate.
- the oxygen donor material may be incorporated in the manufacture of the paper, applied as a coating to the paper or impregnated in the paper.
- the oxygen donor material may be applied as zones, such as the zones described in U.S. Patent 4,615,345, to the paper to provide conventional free-burn rate regions for the cigarette adjacent slow free-burn rate which result in self-extinction of the cigarette should it be left idle on a surface.

- the double wrap cigarette include providing on the inner wrapper a sidestream smoke treatment composition which provides an inner wrapper with a low porosity level for self- extinguishing burning cigarette tobacco rod.
- the outer wrapper may serve an ash conditioning function, it may also be provided with circumferential zones of the oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to support the desired free-bum rate which maintains free-bum of the tobacco rod along the zones.
- zones of oxygen donor material may be provided to maintain the desired free-burn rate.
- sufficient oxygen donor material may be used along the entire length of the inner wrapper to maintain the desired free-bum rate.
- a judicious selection of cerium oxide with an adjunct can provide sidestream smoke control as well as a fire-safe cigarette.
- An oxygen donor starved composition for controlling sidestream smoke may be provided in a base paper. Zones of normal sidestream smoke control composition as described in the aforementioned International Patent Application WO 02/024005, having increased amounts of oxygen donor material may be applied to support conventional free-burn rates for the cigarette in those zones or regions.
- a sidestream smoke control composition can be applied or used in the low porosity base paper where the amount of oxygen donor is at a reduced level to ensure that the cigarette self-extinguishes when set down within a predetermined period of time, for example, within two to four minutes.
- the wrapper for the tobacco rod is usually conventional cigarette paper that has been modified to have a base permeability which is sufficiently low that the coal of the burning cigarette advances along the tobacco rod and self-extinguishes when placed on a solid surface or where the cigarette was left unattended for a period of time in excess of two to three or four minutes.
- the preferred base permeability of the wrapper is usually less than 10 Coresta units, preferably less than 6 Coresta units and may even approach 0 Coresta units.
- a reduction in porosity may be in predetermined bands or along the length of the cigarette paper. As noted, various porosity reducing agents can be applied to the bands to reduce porosity to a desired level.
- the porosity reducing agent may have alternate functions, as described hereinbefore but also, may comprise additional cellulose layered onto the paper to provide bands of decreased porosity which will self-extinguish.
- the band of cellulose may include oxygen storage and donor metal oxide to provide for desired free-bum of the band such that the band burns for a predetermined period of time but will self-extinguish if left idle before the fire cone passes through the band. Examples of bands of cellulose used in providing bands of reduced porosity are described for example in the aforementioned U.S. Patent 5,740,095.
- the predetermined period of time is preferably greater than or equal to about 2 minutes.
- the free-bum rate of the cigarette usually results in a higher puff count.
- the puff count may be in excess of ten and perhaps twelve to sixteen puffs per conventional length of cigarette.
- the desired conventional puff count of six to ten puffs is then achieved.
- One third less tobacco used in a cigarette equates to considerable cost savings in the manufacturing and sale of cigarettes.
- a conventional cigarette will smoulder without extinguishment until all combustible tobacco is consumed.
- a low ignition propensity cigarette on the other hand self extinguishes anywhere from about 30 seconds to four minutes.
- wrapper parameters include the width of the band, the porosity of the base web, the spacing of the band, the length of the free-burn zones and additives used to improve ash and the like.
