Cellulose Acetate Tow
Cellulose acetate tow is a clean, soft, tasteless, and odorless product made from acetate flake. It is a biobased and environmentally friendly product which is derived from natural wood pulp.
Cellulose acetate tow is a thermoplastic cellulose fiber with excellent absorption characteristics. Hubei Xinyang Special Fiber and Jinan Acetate Chemical are two of the leading cellulose acetate tow manufacturers around the world.
Properties
- Soluble in many common solvents (especially acetone and other organic solvents)
- Hydrophilic, wets easily, with good liquid transport and excellent absorption
- Can be modified to be soluble in alternative solvents, including water
- In textile applications, it provides comfort and absorbency
- Selective absorption and removal of low levels of certain organic chemicals
- Easily bonded with plasticizers, heat, and pressure
Cigarette Filtration
Ellemake offers a wide range of cellulose acetate tow products to meet different properties in the finished cigarette rod.
Ellemake has developed a large knowledge base in the areas of cellulose acetate flake and tow manufacturing, filter properties and smoke filtration performance
Filter
Our wide range of products includes activated carbon – its ability to reduce harmful chemicals in the smoke steam makes it one of the best materials for a smooth smoke.
Filtered cigarettes are consumed by more than 90% of the world market. Ellemake understands the process and mechanisms of cigarette smoke filtration. We provide solutions after thorough research by our research and development department.
Acetate Filters
Acetate filters are widely used in the cigarette industry. Cellulose Acetate primarily helps remove undesirable matter from the smoke stream by mechanical capture of the smoke particles.
Over the years different variants of Acetate Filter Rods have also gain market acceptance and acetate filters rods are now also produced as: King Size, Queen Size, Slims, and Super Slims/Nano, ventilated with different porosity of papers, Flavored, Capsulated, Non-Wrapped Acetate (NWA), Hollow Acetate Tube (HAT), Inner Shaped Acetate, Outer Shaped Acetate, With Colored tow, with colored Plug wrap and with Activated Carbon.
Acetate segment is always the mouth-end segment even when combined in more complex filter technology.
Slim Filters/ Super Slim/ Nano Filters
Slim filters were developed for female consumers and have been successful in the promotion and filtration of ultra-low cigarette brands. Slim filters resemble regular filters, but the substantial reduced diameter impacts the processing and pressure drop, requiring special acetate tows to be developed.
Reduced diameter impacts the processing and pressure drop requiring special acetate tows. Increased health awareness has led to the need for ultra-low cigarettes due to the reduced diameter: special acetate tows are developed to create high pressure drops on slimmer filters while maintaining a smooth smoke and draw resistance.
