Shaped Acetate filter

Novel end appearance

The shaped acetate filter is constructed with a hole placed at the mouth end of the filter manufactured with Essentra Filter Products’ Tube Technology®.

The filter can take a single- or multiple-segment design. The novel end appearance can be further enhanced by shaping the hole into various styles.

Filter construction

Consists of high-quality crimped cellulose acetate fibres, which are bonded with a controlled amount of plasticiser. Additional plasticiser and cellulose acetate means that the structure of the filter is firmer than the standard mono-acetate filter to ensure quality end appearance.

The cellulose acetate is formed around a mandrel to create a void in the material. It can be altered to leave a choice of shapes at the mouth end. The filter is enclosed in standard or porous outer plugwrap.

Designed to enhance branding, and suit customer taste and filtration requirements.
