With the awareness increasing in smokers about the health hazards, the modern smokers prefer filtered cigarettes made from Biodegradable Tow.
A good Cigarette filter should reduce the amount of smoke, tar, and fine particles inhaled during the combustion of a cigarette. It should also keep the original aroma and taste as much as possible, along with reducing the harshness of the smoke and keep tobacco flakes out of the smoker’s mouth.
Acetate tow is a natural product made from cellulose, but we have gone a step further by replacing it with PLA (Polylactic Acid) for making this tow which is made from 100% Biodegradable material and is replacement for SINGLE USE PLASTIC.
PLA is produced totally from natural renewable such as corn, cassava and other crops as raw materials. It is environment friendly and biodegradable. This makes it the next generation of cigarette tow, especially with the limited supply of cellulose.
We supply with the best quality tow produced to keep cigarette quality and aroma. Our tow passes through a strict quality control to assure the best quality standards.
We can supply you all your requirements like:
2.4Y/32,000
2.5Y/30,000

Some common terms:
Denier filament is weight expressed in length unit defined as the weight in grams of 9000m of whatsoever linear material.
Denier is a direct metric system where lower numbers are thinner dimensions and higher numbers are thicker dimensions. A single filament with a 9000m length and with a weight of 1 gram is equal to denier 1.
Total denier is a weight in grams of acetate strip with a length of 9000 m. The acetate title is formed both by a denier filament and total denier. Example: an acetate title 2.7Y35000 has a denier per filament (or filament denier) of 2.7 and a total denier of 35000.
Cross section Y is the one used on the tobacco industry.
Crimp is the bending of a filament. Filaments are bent into groups and not singularly. Bending is necessary to give a certain consistency to a finished filter as well as to secure a good handling packing and storage.
Important note for users of Triacetin Plasticiser: Unlike Cellulose Acetate Tow / Mono Acetate tow where triacetin works at room temperature, the triacetin plasticizer maybe needed to be pre heated between 60 to 80 Deg Centigrade at the application time (sprayed on tow) for this tow to get better bonding. We recommend the use of water based binders for filter making. All filter machines with brush type sprayer should use steel wheel rotary srayer in their machines.
This product is steller! You have done your homework well and truthfully informed readers.
I would like move this product in American (N & S) market. I really enjoyed what you said on telecon “We welcome business and new partners. We want to be “Team Success”. Too cool!
Thank you for the great writeup. It in fact was a knowledgeable account. I am highly interested in your products for my factory.
By the way, I have sent my details on the contract form.
Delighted for us to have discovered this web site write-up, my group is already buying from you guys.
This is moment certainly what I have been already seeking to give a positive vote for your product and book-marked this specific web site online as well, I will often be keep returning soon enough to look at on your distinctive blog post.
It’s amazing to see the excellent after sales support you gave us. Although I never trust cyber world, but thanks we found you and now we are able to produce the right specifications. Wish you guys all the best!
Really amazing to see how professionally you do business. I sometimes wonder do you guys get enough time to sleep. Love the way you efficiently handled our order. We got the container in well packed condition and initial tests show great results on the filter.
I thought I needed an expert on this Tow usage to resolve my problem. With simple tips from you, my machine operator was up and running with filter production in no time. Hats off to you!
Pretty nice post. I know PLA is environment friendly / biodegradable and is a replacement for cellulose. Maybe you should find another plasticizer for low temperature conditions. Try adding glycol to Triacetin and maybe it works.
I found this while browsing on net and ordered sample bale from you.
Trial run seems to fine, especially after you guys told us to preheat the plasticizer to 50 deg C.
We will be able to use your product from the next month. We will be issuing PO next week.
Cheers
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment but generally people do not discuss such
issues wherein the secrets of a factory get leaked.
Overlooking this fact a little, I would definitely like to extend my compliments on the excellent services offered by your company starting from our factory visit hospitality extended with all our queries patiently answered to the assisted production at our factory.
There’s no doubt that that you level of professionalism can be compared to any top 100 MNC’s!
Kind regards and best wishes!!
There are certain basics we always forget. Thanks for reminding me that cellulose acetate is a thermoplastic too! I am happy that information provided by you was a major factor in our decision making for purchase of this PLA Tow.
I have worked with TBAC on PLA Tow. It works good as well … we have been working at 4000rpm without any issues. Hope it helps you guys.
I was working on PM5 at 3000 RPM with PLA tow. The results with your new DBEEA plasticizer works much better than triacetin. I just wonder why you didn’t tell me before? My tech guy was not able to differentiate between a PLA filter rod and that of acetate!
Now we have the same working experience as that of acetate. Cheers!
This for sure the next generation tow. It is a perfect replacement for Cellulose Acetate Tow. I really appreciate the dedication with which you answer the questions patiently and in details. Did you invent this PLA Tow yourself? I’m hoping to capture a big market with this product and would like to know more innovations like this you make.
Cheers!
We have been working on 600m/m without any problems but above that there is a sharp drop in pressure drop and hardness. Just let me know if you have tested at 600+ m/m.
I think the admin of this site is genuinely working hard in favor of his site, for the reason that all my queries have been answered with every detail I asked.
I really like you customer care!
I do believe this is an excellent product.
I stumbled upon it 😉 I will come back once again since i have bookmarked it.
I have already sent you specification for my filter. Hope we can work.
Im working with KDF2 , can you sent the PLA Tow to Indonesia ??
thank you
Works well on KDF2. We can send to Indonesia. Email has been sent to you for follow up.
Received samples. They look good. I’d care to find out more details especially about the production part. Thanks for promptness.
It’s really a nice and useful piece of info.
I am satisfied that you just shared helpful information with us and resolved issues with regular updates.

I see you use the power of practical knowledge for your product. I like the honestly with which you spoke and that is the reason we are talking.
You will get big business from us just because of sharing information and truthful attitude. Glad to have you in our supplier list!
I’ve been communicating for more than 3 months, yet I never found any interesting product like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all factory owners switched over to PLA, then cost cutting will be clearly seen in the balance sheet!
Thank you for all the support and agreeing to supply regularly. You have us as your lifetime client!
Thanks for the first shipment of 23MT. Bales are in good condition and test run went well. I would like to thank your team for keeping us informed at every stage. Kudos!
Thanks for the presentation in our company in November 2015 and it was very interesting to see the transition of our line from Acetate to PLA in less than 2 months.
A special thanks to you and your team for the amazingly fast implementation and we hope to have a great relationship.
Superb support right to from head start, we will go a long way! This data gives us invaluable
in-depth analysis for keeping for output optimized, keep it up! You are a real pro!!
I have noticed your shipments are always sent within the time frame and you don’t waste your time. You giving great value to your time and commitments with quality content. I am sure you are making extra $$$ with your methods. Is it possible for you to be an adviser / mentor for our factory as well?
Hi Mandip … WOW … It was great to meet you in person! You are a sea of practical knowledge. Thanks for getting my project on a jump start!
Hi Mark! We have been using your BiComponent Tow with very consistent results. We did use for various commercial specifications and have appreciable results. We are definitely moving towards the next step of our cooperation as discussed!

I could not resist commenting. Right from the time we started our conversation about 2 years ago, I knew that we are laying a very strong foundation for a well-managed supplychain. Mandip! You are so amazing at handling queries and reverting back with the utmost professionalism and we couldn’t we thankful enough. Wow! Looks like a fan talk!!

My research is in the very same niche as yours and my team would certainly benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with you.
Thanks a lot!
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across someone whois both educative and interesting and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The issue of changing the tow type to meet new regulations is something too few people know. Speaking intelligently about it with a clear vision and amazing clarity is something amazing.
I’m very happy that I came across you in my search for something concerning this and we have done it under your team guidance!
Having them all up in your head and not written down makes them just as easy to overlook or forget.
Using the right experts you will work with in buying and selling process, makes professionalism all along the way.
I am not exaggerating when I say everything is exactly the same, When you Mr. Mandip take care of all the things in such an expert and professional way right from providing this bio degradable tow to final production. The transition was so smooth and shows your expertise at every stage of implementation especially replicating what we saw at your factory. Thank you for everything and we made no mistake in selecting your company. All the Best!
