| Abstract | A cigarette comprises of tobacco, filter cigarette paper and filter papers. Cigarette paper is the wrapping material surrounding the tobacco which is there to form cigarette rod. The key critical parameters in cigarette paper are permeability, formation, opacity, ash content, burning rate, tensile strength and physical defects. Variation of permeability will result in variation in cigarette taste. In this study, three different hardwood pulps ( Acacia , Eucalyptus , and Mixed Hardwood ) were tested. Properties of each hardwood pulps are examined to observe its suitability for producing cigarette paper. Permeability as well as the other tests w as performed to aim for potential pulp properties for producing cigarette filters. Comparing the three hardwood pulps, Acacia pulp is found to be more suitable for cigarette paper because it has appropriate level air permeability, tensile index, tear index, and formation. |
