Abstract: Disclosed is a smoking article wrapping material comprising a base wrapping material to which has been applied, at least in discrete zones, a composition comprising a mechanically fragmented, chemically crosslinked polysaccharide having a particle size (weighted average) in the range from 1 to 1000 ?m for the dry product; a process for production thereof; and a smoking article comprising the smoking article wrapping material described.

Abstract: A tobacco product wrapping, material comprising composite particles is described, the composite particles being obtainable by a method in which an aqueous suspension containing calcium carbonate particles is prepared, and a metal salt comprising an aluminum cation is added. The metal salt is able to form a basic metal component in the suspension; and has a solubility of greater than 9.0 mg/L in water, measured at the pH value of the prepared suspension and at a temperature of 20° C. The invention further relates to a method for the production of the tobacco product wrapping material, the use of such tobacco product wrapping material for the production of tobacco products, and the tobacco products produced with the tobacco product wrapping material.

Abstract: A cellulose wrapper for a smoking article includes a cover layer and at least one inner layer. The cover layer has an area weight of 20 to 60 g/m.sup.2, a raw density of 0.5 to 0.9 g/cm.sup.3, an air permeability of 10 to 250 CU, a filler material content in the range of 10 to 60 percent, and a burn promoting salt content in the range of 0 to 5 percent. The inner layer has an area weight of 6 to 20 g/m.sup.2, a raw density of 0.7 to 1 g/cm.sup.3, and an air permeability of 0 to 12 CU. The layers are wet laminated in a paper machine. Smoking articles with such a wraper do not experience a change in taste of the main smoke flow nor any spot development, and they afford an attractive ash tube or sheath. The time period for extinguishing the smoking article can be varied within wide limits. Moreover a drastic reduction of secondary smoke flow can be noted.

Abstract: In the preparation of synthetic mouthpiece paper for cigarettes which simulates cork, of the type wherein the paper has randomly distributed and formed depressions therein formed by stamping the paper and wherein the paper is densified in the depressed areas it is found that the similarity to cork is additionally improved by applying a coating of lacquer over the entire surface of the paper whereby the luster of the depressed portions of the paper in increased while the matt luster of the remaining portions of the paper is retained.
