Benefits of Super Slim CPA™ Dual Filter

The Filtrona Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter is designed to give the cigarette a unique end appearance. This filter also offers enhanced tar and nicotine retention without the need for increased draw resistance or higher ventilation. The inclusion of an activated carbon segment in the dual format further improves this filter's performance.

The distinct benefit of the Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter:

• The potential for a distinctive end appearance, offering strong product differentiation, a potential anti-counterfeiting tool, as well as enhanced brand identity

The Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter also offers a number of other key benefits:

• Lower cost premium for unique differentiator
• Ability to add activated carbon or other additives to the inner segment
• Higher tar and nicotine retention than standard MonoAcetate filters, while maintaining a similar smoking experience
• May assist in counterfeit prevention using a standard Super Slim CPA™ Dual  or a Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter with a coloured inner wrap
• Can give an equivalent tar retention to a MonoAcetate but a lower pressure drop is achievable
• Reduced yields possible with reduced or no ventilation

Construction of Super Slim CPA™ Dual Filter

The Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter consists of tobacco and mouth end segments. These segments are constructed with high-quality crimped cellulose acetate fibres which are bonded together with a controlled amount of plasticiser. The tobacco segment is loaded with activated carbon.

The mouth segment is enclosed by an embossed semi-crêpe paper inner wrap, giving the fluted appearance. The tobacco segment can have either a standard or porous plugwrap, or alternatively can use non-wrapped acetate for a high quality end appearance. Both filter segments are then wrapped in an outer plugwrap which can be either standard or porous depending on ventilation requirements.

The flutes can be presented either at the mouth end, which offers a distinctive end appearance, or can be orientated towards the tobacco end, to give the impression of a standard Mono-Acetate end appearance. Both orientations impart identical technical benefits.

As smoke flows through the filter, it naturally follows the path of least resistance along the flutes. As the flutes are only formed for part of the filter length, smoke is drawn through the paper at the end of the embossed flutes. This is called the cross flow filtration mechanism, and it achieves an extremely high level of tar and nicotine retention, giving the Super Slim CPA™ Dual  filter its overall increased efficiency.
