Activated Carbon for Tobacco Filters Applications - Brochure

Perhaps one of the most contentious ‘habits’ recognised in modern life is the smoking of tobacco, whether incorporated into cigarettes, pipes or increasing used in Shisha for recreational purposes. However, the smoking of tobacco persists and in some parts of the world is still increasing in its prevalence. The association between activated carbon and the ability this unique adsorbent has to modify taste by the removal of chemical compounds in tobacco smoke is long-standing, and this ability has seen the more widespread incorporation of the product into cigarette filter tips in recent years. Additional uses in smoking devices, such as pipe filters and smoking booths, has further highlighted the potential uses of activated carbon in this market sector.
