    Date of Patent: June 4, 2024
    Assignee: SWM Holdings US, LLC
    Inventors: Bruno Stefani, Lanig Le Bec
  • Publication number: 20220264937
    Abstract: A wrapper well suited for use in aerosol delivery products, such as heat but not burn sticks is disclosed. The wrapper includes a base web made from cellulosic fibers combined with filler particles. The base web can be coated on at least one side with a permeability reducing composition and/or treated with a flame retardant salt. The base web is constructed with a basis weight, bulk, and permeability so as to produce aerosol delivery sticks with low combustion characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6679270
    Abstract: A method for reducing the content of nitrosamines (e.g., N′-Nitrosonornicotine, 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, N′-Nitrosoanatabine, and N′-Nitrosoanabasine) in tobacco is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes combining tobacco with a solvent (e.g., water and/or other compounds) to form a soluble portion. The soluble portion contains an initial total level of tobacco-specific nitrosamines per gram of the soluble portion. The soluble portion is contacted with a nitrosamine-reducing material such that the resulting weight percentage of the tobacco-specific nitrosamines per gram of said soluble portion is at least about 20% less than the initial total level of the tobacco-specific nitrosamines per gram of the soluble portion.
