Description

Tipping wrapper for aerosol generating article
Description
The present invention is directed to an aerosol generating article as for example a cigarette. The present application is especially directed to a tipping wrapper for aerosol generating articles as for example cigarettes. Cigarettes known from the state of the art comprise usually several components as for example a filter, a cigarette body and a so-called tipping wrapper, which is usually at least partially wrapped around the filter.
In the state of the art the tipping wrapper, also often referred to as“tipping paper” in the art, has the function to connect the mouthpiece rod and the tobacco rod, but it is furthermore known from the state of the art, that decoration such as printing, hot foiled stamping or em bossing is added to this tipping wrapper. As one of the decorations of tipping wrapper is shiny appearance (especially high glossiness), tipping wrapper has been expected to enhance the attractiveness of the product.
A known technique in this field is silver ink printing to obtain such shiny appearance but, in this case, an additional printing process is required.
Moreover, the shiny appearance can be obtained by calandraring a paper containing more than 10 % Kaolin. In this case the problem arises, that ink abrasion from the paper surface after printing may arise.
On the other hand, the tipping wrapper should be non-combustible (it should comprise smol dering resistance) because it is a connecting part of the mouthpiece and the tobacco rod. To assure sufficient non-combustibility some non-combustible tipping wrapper was developed which a certain amount of non-combustible filler.
As such a filler, titanium dioxide has been widely used. This material has the advantage of high opacity (delivers higher opacity to the paper) and non-combustibility. However, in some countries this material is prohibited because of health concerns.
Additionally tipping wrapper should have a good lip feeling during smoking. Consumers gen erally like better lip release feelings, which means, that a cigarette should not be stuck on the lip after puffing. For this reason it’s common to add lip release varnish on the surface of the tipping wrapper to avoid that it gets stuck on the mouth of the consumer.
However, even if a lip release varnish is added it appears especially in dry atmosphere. Therefore, it is one object of the invention to provide an improved lip release feeling with the tipping wrapper. Another object of the invention is to provide a tipping wrapper which provides a shiny appearance especially without an additional printing process or also without the use of titanium dioxide (T1O2). Also an improved lip release feeling should be provided.

In another preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned calendaring process is added. Pref erably the paper passes between calendar rollers especially at higher temperatures and pres sures. The paper surface becomes therefore smooth and glossy. This is especially possible if there is sufficient filler amount on the surface of the paper.
In another preferred embodiment the paper is winded, preferably using a reel. In another preferred embodiment a physical property of the paper is measured, for example the base weight, the opacity and other.
The product provides an improved shiny appearance and a higher surface or smoothness.
