Special type-High-Opaque Type
Product Features
High-Opaque Tipping Base Paper is a special base paper with low air permeability, high density, high barrier property and high opacity, specially designed for the production of cigarette tipping paper. Made from high-quality bleached wood pulp through fine forming, high-density calendering and proper sizing, it features a smooth surface, high strength and good stiffness. With extremely low air permeability, it is smoke-tight, air-tight and ink-proof, fully complying with the hygienic standards of the tobacco industry and the requirements of high-speed printing and high-speed cigarette assembly.
Core Features
● High opacity and low air permeability, effectively blocking smoke, preventing air leakage and flavor crossover, ensuring a consistent smoking taste.
● Fine and smooth surface with double-sided glossiness, good printability, no ink penetration and no dusting.
● High strength and moderate stiffness, compatible with high-speed cigarette making machines, free from paper breakage, curling and warping.
● Uniform sizing, firm bonding and stable adhesion to filters, no debonding or bubbling.
● Fluorescent-free, low odor, eco-friendly and safe, meeting food-grade requirements for tobacco materials.
● Uniform thickness and high slitting precision, suitable for high-end, slim and medium-size cigarettes.
Product Applications
1. Production of high-barrier, high-opaque cigarette tipping paper
Used as the core base material to produce tipping paper for wrapping the joint between cigarette rod and filter.
2. Medium and high-grade cigarettes requiring air-tight and smoke-tight performance
Particularly suitable for slim, medium-size, capsule cigarettes, high-end gift cigarettes and export cigarettes, ensuring no smoke leakage and stable taste.
3. High-precision printing, hot stamping, laser and lamination processes
With a dense and opaque surface, it enables clear patterns and full colors, ideal for high-grade cigarette packaging decoration and anti-counterfeiting.
4. Special for high-speed cigarette assembly equipment
Excellent stiffness, strength and stability ensure smooth running and low rejection rate in high-speed cigarette production.
5. Replace conventional tipping base paper to upgrade cigarette quality.
Application Scenario
Product Details
We know tipping paper, but what is high opacity tipping paper?
High opacity tipping paper is a specialized type used for wrapping the filter of a cigarette. Its defining feature is its high opacity, which can reach up to at least 89%, achieved by incorporating fine calcium carbonate particles (with a median size of 0.1 to 0.5 microns) as a pigment. This high opacity ensures that the paper effectively conceals the filter's contents, providing a clean and uniform appearance.
In addition to its visual benefits, high opacity tipping paper offers practical advantages. It reduces wear on cutting instruments, such as knives, during production, and exhibits lower retention of solvents when printed with solvent-based inks or coatings. This makes it more efficient and durable in manufacturing processes while maintaining high-quality print results.
Overall, high opacity tipping paper combines functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it a valuable component in the production of smoking articles.
