Definitions
- the invention relates to a smoking article with improved extinguishing characteristics (reduced or lower ignition propensity or ignition proclivity) and to a method of manufacturing such a smoking article.
- a general disadvantage of using low-porosity bands on wrapper papers is a reduced rod ventilation caused by the reduced porosity in these bands, resulting in changes of CO/NFDPM ratios to often undesired levels (CO: carbon monoxide, NFDPM: nico- tin-free dry particulate matter) .
- inorganic salts as burn retardants is commonly known, including some applications for tobacco products. Inorganic salts as such, however, have not been used for reducing ignition propensity, which is probably based on the assumption that a certain oxygen deficit is necessary to make cigarettes self-extinguish in the ASTM test cited above and that this can only be achieved by reducing the wrapper porosity to a level lower than 10 CU to 15 CU (CU: Coresta unit, permeability as measured in the tobacco industry, see CORESTA Recommend Method No. 40) .
- CU Coresta unit, permeability as measured in the tobacco industry, see CORESTA Recommend Method No. 40
- ammonium phosphate is used as a burn retardant, but only in combination with additional substances, as e.g. alginates, which provide for a low porosity.
- the object of the invention is to provide a smoking article with reduced ignition propensity, which does not exhibit the disadvantage of a significantly reduced rod ventilation.
- the smoking article according to the invention comprises a tobacco rod and a wrapper.
- the wrapper includes at least one zone treated with an inorganic salt providing reduced ignition propensity. This zone can comprise the total wrapper.
- the wrapper includes at least one discrete zone treated with the inorganic salt, wherein the total surface area of the discrete zones is smaller than the total surface area of the wrapper; i.e. in addition to any areas of the wrapper being covered by, e.g., a tipping paper of a filter, there are exposed areas of the wrapper which are not treated with the inorganic salt.
- inorganic salts is able to reduce the ignition propensity of the smoking article without reducing the porosity of the wrapper to levels as commonly required for this purpose.
- the invention does not rely on the main effect of a reduced porosity in the zones treated with the inorganic salt.
- the porosity of the wrapper in the treated zones is larger than 10 CU, preferably larger than 12 CU or than 15 CU. Porosities in this range permit access of sufficient oxygen to the tobacco rod in order to minimise carbon monoxide formation and provide for sufficient diffusion.
- the inorganic salt can comprise, e.g., magnesium chloride, aluminium sulfate, alum, sodium tetraborate, hydrated magne- sium chloride, hydrated aluminium sulfate, hydrated alum, hydrated sodium tetraborate, sodium chloride, or mixtures thereof.
- the specific amount of the organic salt can be in the range of from 0.2 mg/cm 2 to 20 mg/cm 2 or in the range of from 0.5 mg/cm 2 to 5 mg/cm 2 .
- any interval limits in the range of from 0.2 mg/cm 2 to 20 mg/cm 2 are explicitly disclosed herewith.
- Such inorganic salts are less expensive than porosity-reducing agents like alginates .
- the wrapper comprises at least two such bands which are separated by at least 1 mm or at least 5 mm and preferably by at least 10 mm.
- the smoking ar- ticle comprises a filter
- the smoking article can be designed as a cigarette
- the wrapper is a cigarette paper (which includes the possibility of manufacturing the wrapper from reconstituted tobacco) .
- a paper for rolling cigarettes (RYO cigarettes; RYO: “Roll Your Own")
- a paper tube preferably a paper tube including a filter at one of its ends
- MYO cigarettes MYO: "Make Your Own”
- the rolling paper and the paper tube comprise, with respect to reduced ignition propensity, the features of the wrapper of a smoking article explained so far.
- the inorganic salt is applied to the wrapper by means of a solution or suspension.
- a solution or suspension can be heated.
- the solvent or the suspension agent comprise water.
- the inorganic salt can be applied to the wrapper by, e.g., printing techniques like gravure printing or inkjet printing, but also techniques like spraying or sizing. Printing techniques are very precise and can even be used online, e.g., in a cigarette making process after wrapping a continuous tobacco rod with the wrapper material .
- the inorganic salt can be applied to the wrapper by sizing in a papermaking process for providing the material of the wrapper.
- sizing is applied to the overall surface of the paper produced in a papermaking process, it is also possible to size zones of the paper only.
- the inorganic salt is applied to the wrapper immediately after a papermaking process during the cutting step of a mother reel into bobbins containing wrapper material, as usually performed in the cigarette paper industry in order to provide wrapper material suitable for use in a cigarette making machine.
- the inorganic salt can be applied to the wrapper material during a rewinding step of such bobbin. This step is performed offline, i.e. not during the usual operating steps of a cigarette making machine. It is also possible to apply the inorganic salt to the wrapper during a cigarette making process, i.e. online, either before wrapping a continuous tobacco rod with the wrapper material or after wrapping a continuous tobacco rod with the wrapper material. For such applications, gravure printing and inkjet printing, which apply a solution or suspension of the inorganic salt as "ink”, are particularly suitable.
- a commercial cigarette comprising a cigarette paper with a base porosity of 35 CU was homogeneously treated with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride until a weight of 4.0 mg sodium chloride per cm 2 was achieved.
- the outer side (“felt side”) of a commercial cigarette paper (base porosity 35 CU) was sprayed with an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride to form treated discrete zones in band form of 6 mm width with a distance (gap width) of 20 mm on the paper.
- the concentration of the solution and the amount of spraying were adjusted so that a weight of 1.2 mg magnesium chloride per cm 2 was achieved.
- the inner side ("wire side") or both sides of the cigarette paper could be sprayed with the solution.
- a warm (50 0 C) , saturated solution of aluminium sulfate was applied to the cigarette paper (porosity 50 CU) of a conventional cigarette during the cigarette making process using a gravure printing device.
- the gravure depth was adjusted so that a weight of 3 mg aluminium sulfate per cm 2 was achieved in the printed areas.
- the salt was applied in band-shaped discrete zones having a width of 6 mm each and a respective distance (width of untreated zones) of 20 mm.
