Cigarette paper is an important part of cigarettes, and its quality directly affects the taste, burning performance and safety of cigarettes. Many cigarette lovers will also pay attention to the raw materials when choosing cigarette paper. What kind of materials are suitable for making cigarette paper?
Natural plant fibers are the main raw materials for making cigarette paper. They come from nature, are renewable, and are environmentally friendly. Common natural plant fibers include:
● Hemp fibers: such as flax and jute. These materials have long fibers, high strength, and good air permeability, and are widely used in cigarette paper production. After degumming, combing and other processes, hemp fibers can form soft and tough paper, which provides good support and burning stability for cigarettes.
● Cotton fibers: Cotton fibers are soft and have good hygroscopicity, but their strength is relatively low. In the production of cigarette paper, cotton fibers are usually mixed with other fibers to improve the softness and hygroscopicity of paper.
● Wood pulp fibers: Wood pulp is a fibrous substance extracted from wood by chemical or mechanical methods. Wood pulp fiber is widely available and low-cost, and is one of the important raw materials for making cigarette paper. Specially treated wood pulp fiber can form a uniform and delicate paper structure, which is conducive to the burning of cigarettes and the release of smoke.
In addition to natural plant fibers, some chemical fibers are also used as enhancers or functional additives for cigarette paper. These chemical fibers have excellent physical properties or special functional properties, which can improve the overall performance of cigarette paper. However, some chemical fiber components may have potential effects on human health, so their use in cigarette paper production is strictly restricted, with safety and environmental protection as a more important premise.
