Benefits of Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ Filter

The Filtrona Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ filter is manufactured by an innovative, patent-pending process using high-quality crimped cellulose acetate fibres which are bonded in a non-uniform, random construction. This gives a significantly lighter filter which can be used to reduce tar and nicotine delivery. This filter is available in both slim and super-slim variants.

The distinct benefits of the Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ filter are:

• Tow weight saving (up to 20%) over standard Mono-Acetate
• Uses regular tows, not premium priced Super Slim denier tows

The Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ filter also offers a number of other key benefits:

• Maintains the smoking experience and filtration capability of the standard Mono-Acetate
• Wider range of filament denier available than standard Super Slim tows
• A high-quality end appearance
• Well-accepted taste familiar to customers
• Uses less cellulose acetate than a standard Mono-Acetate and therefore conserves environmental resources
• Degrades faster than the standard Mono-Acetate
• Can also be used as a base rod (mouth end piece)

Construction of Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ Filter

The Super Slim Randomly Orientated Acetate™ filter consists of high-quality crimped cellulose acetate staple fibres which are orientated randomly in an interlocked web. These are bonded together with a controlled amount of plasticiser to give a firm structure. The filter is enclosed in an outer plugwrap which can be either standard or porous depending on ventilation requirements.

The structure of interlocked web of randomly orientated fibres differs from the traditional acetate filters which have continuous, essentially parallel, fibres.
