Construction of Active Acetate Dual Filter

The Active Acetate Dual filter consists of a tobacco and mouth segment of high-quality crimped cellulose acetate. The tobacco segment is loaded with activated carbon.

Both segments are enclosed in a plugwrap which can be either standard or porous depending on ventilation requirements. Alternatively, the mouth segment can use non-wrapped acetate for a high-quality end appearance. The filter segments are then wrapped in an outer plugwrap which can also be standard or porous depending on the required ventilation. 

A wide range of configurations, lengths, circumferences, and additive loadings can be selected. This ensures each construction is precisely designed to suit the taste and filtration requirements of the customer and enhance a particular brand.
