High Porosity Plugwrap Paper is a high-end paper for filter rods in the tobacco industry. Made from high-quality bleached wood pulp, it is produced through inclined/long-web forming, super calendering and precise sizing. Its key characteristics include high air permeability, excellent uniformity and high strength, meeting the requirements of high-speed cigarette assembly and tar reduction in the tobacco industry, and complying with YC/T industry standards and food contact safety regulations.
● Ultra-high air permeability: Conventional range 1000–6500 CU (Coresta Unit), with smooth air flow to facilitate tar reduction and harm reduction.
● Uniform fiber structure: Smooth and clean paper surface, free from impurities and dusting, suitable for high-speed printing and forming.
● Optimized strength: Moderate MD strength (no knife jamming, no paper breakage) and controllable CD elongation (ensures roundness of filter rods).
● Stable sizing: Internal and surface sizing provides good water resistance, no glue penetration and no adhesion during forming.
● Dimensional stability: Uniform moisture content, no warping, compatible with high-speed cigarette making machine (8000–12000 cigarettes per minute).
● Safe & eco-friendly: Free of optical brighteners, low VOC content, and meets hygienic standards.
1. Core base material for high-end cigarette filter rods
Used to wrap cellulose acetate tow or composite filter media (e.g., activated carbon) to produce high-permeability tar-reduced filter rods, improving smoke purity and filtration efficiency.
2. Composite/functional filter forming
Used with laser-perforated tipping paper to achieve precise tar reduction. Applied in medium-size, slim and capsule cigarettes to support cavity filter structures and prevent particle leakage.
3. Upgraded high-end tobacco materials
Replaces conventional forming paper for high-end gift cigarettes and export cigarettes, ensuring filter rod roundness and appearance consistency, and compatible with high-end packaging printing.
4. Special operating conditions for cigarette machines
Suitable for ultra-high-speed cigarette assembly equipment (over 10000 cigarettes per minute), with stable operation and low paper breakage rate, improving production efficiency.
High permeability forming tipping paper is a specialized type of tipping paper used in cigarette manufacturing that features precisely engineered microporosity to control airflow and ventilation in the filter region. This advanced paper material allows for selective air dilution of smoke by incorporating microscopic pores or laser perforations that enable ambient air to mix with mainstream smoke as it passes through the filter.
The high permeability characteristics are carefully calibrated to achieve specific smoke dilution ratios, directly influencing the cigarette's taste profile, smoke delivery, and tar reduction. Manufacturers utilize this technology to create differentiated smoking experiences while meeting regulatory requirements for reduced emissions.
The paper maintains excellent structural integrity during high-speed production processes while ensuring consistent ventilation performance, requiring sophisticated paper engineering to balance porosity with sufficient strength for automated cigarette-making and packaging operations. Its permeability properties can be adjusted through various manufacturing techniques to create customized ventilation patterns that affect the final product's smoking dynamics and sensory characteristics.
