CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, 2017, Kitzbühel, ST 13 New aspects of cellulose acetate biodegradation HÖLTER D.; LAPERSONNE P. Rhodia Acetow GmbH, Freiburg, Germany Cellulose acetate (CA) as it is used for cigarette filters is known to be biodegradable, although more slowly than fast degrading materials like cellulose. Nevertheless, there is still controversial communication about the biodegradability...
CORESTA Congress, Shanghai, 2008, SSPTPOST 27 A fast shop floor determination of triacetin based on microwave technique SEXAUER W.; HERRMANN R.; ROSE N. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Determination of triacetin content in filter rods has always been an area of detection and measurement that has lagged behind the other areas of measurement in the manufacture of filter rods. The application of triacetin to the processed acetate tow...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, Jeju, 2007, SSPT 32 Effects of triacetin on the retention of acetate filters with dispersed additives SCHÜTZ E. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Acetate filters with dispersed active carbon granules are more and more used in cigarettes when a high retention of volatiles is desired. These so called dalmatian filters are constructed with very different Filter Tow items and different types of...
CORESTA Congress, Paris, 2006, PT 03 Effects of granular additives dispersed in acetate filters SCHÜTZ E. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Acetate filters with dispersed active carbon granules are more and more used in cigarettes with high retention of volatiles. These so called dalmatian filters are constructed with very different Filter Tow items and different types of charcoal...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, Stratford-upon-Avon, 2005, SSPTPOST 12 Selected filter rods - A tool/method for a troubleshooting of instruments and to evalutate their offsets SEXAUER W. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Calibration of pressure drop instruments does not necessarily lead to the same values on the various instruments. Under some circumstances systematic differences between the artificial standards and results of real filter rods (obtained on different...
CORESTA Congress, Kyoto, 2004, APSSPT 01 The 100-Year-History of Cellulose Diacetate (CDA) RUSTEMEYER P. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Acetone-soluble CDA was discovered 100 years ago as a new attractive member of the cellulose derivatives family. Immediate economical expectations had been very high, but it required considerable time and efforts until CDA was applied in bigger...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, Freiburg, 2003, ST 15 The use of microarrays for gene expression profiling: preliminary results on exposure of HEP-G2 cells to tar SACKERS E.; TEUFEL E.; WILLMUND R. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Throughout the last years there has been an increasing demand to establish test methods for the biological activity of tobacco smoke. The usage of different test methods providing valid data in terms of cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of tobacco...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, Freiburg, 2003, ST 02 Reduction of pressure drop variability resulting from an improved transport system on filter rod makers MÜLLER H.; TEUFEL E. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. Pressure drop variability is an important quality parameter in filter rod production. It can be influenced by the quality of the filter tow used, type of plug assembling machine and certainly the filter rod making process. Even the way of sampling...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke Science/Product Technology, Freiburg, 2003, ST 31 Rapid determination of plasticiser content in filter rods at the making machine SEXAUER W.; HERRMANN R.; SCHLEMM U.; CAMM B. Rhodia Acetow, Freiburg, Germany. This paper describes Rhodia's application of the Tews microwave cavity resonator system integrated into a Borgwaldt-KC DT test station for the rapid and precise determination of plasticiser content in whole filter rods at the maker. The principle...
