Bitech™ filter

Cost-effective solution

The BiTech™ filter is a unique, patent-pending filter that provides better filtration efficiency and greater degradability than a standard mono-acetate filter while offering the opportunity for cost-efficiencies.

Filter construction

A mono-segment filter produced in a single pass and offered in various ratios of tow and either paper or other nonwoven materials to match specifications.

The filter is enclosed in an outer plugwrap, which can be standard or porous depending on ventilation requirements. The filter tip length, circumference and pressure drop can be varied to suit taste and filtration requirements.

Also available in a combination of tow and other nonwoven materials, and can be used as a segment in a multi segment filter.
