Abstract
Provided herein are a coating composition of a low ignition propensity cigarette paper, a smoking article using the same, and a method of manufacturing the low ignition propensity cigarette paper. The coating composition of the low ignition propensity cigarette paper according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes Arabic gum, ethanol, water, and fructo-oligosaccharide. Fructo-oligosaccharide may remarkably delay the aging speed of the coating composition and block even fine pores so that the ignition propensity of the coating composition is significantly reduced.
Claims9
A coating composition of a low ignition propensity cigarette paper, the coating composition comprising:
- Arabic gum;
- ethanol;
- water;
- fructo-oligosaccharide or galacto-oligosaccharide;
- and
- one or more of citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid,
- wherein the Arabic gum is included in an amount in a range of 10 wt % to 30 wt %,
- the ethanol is included in an amount in a range of 15 wt % to 30 wt %,
- the water is included in an amount in a range of 10 wt % to 40 wt %,
- the fructo-oligosaccharide or the galacto-oligosaccharide is included in an amount in a range of 5 wt % to 35 wt %, and
- a viscosity of the coating composition is higher than or equal to 20 cPs and less than 1,000 cPs.
