Abstract: A cigarette, in which the paper surrounding the tobacco column comprises discrete areas, in particular in the form of bands, which are loaded with the acetate of a polysaccharide and thus increase the self-extinction of the cigarette by reducing the access of air to the burning tobacco column, wherein the polysaccharide is a starch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing paper imprinted with a pattern, especially cigarette paper that is impregnated stripwise with fire-retardant materials. According to said method, a self-supporting web of paper is imprinted with an aqueous printing solution. Said printing solution contains water-soluble polymers and the paper is heated to above 50° C. before or during printing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment of cellulosic moulded bodies which are formed from a solution of cellulose in an aqueous tertiary amine oxide, particularly fibers, whereby the moulded bodies are brought into contact with an aqueous solution of a textile auxiliary agent which bears two reactive groups in the alkaline milieu. The invention is characterised in that as the textile auxiliary agent, a compound of formula whereby X is halogen, R═H or an ionic residue and n=0 or 1, respectively a salt of this compound is used. The invention also relates to the use of compounds of this formula to reduce the tendency to fibrillate and to increase the UV absorption of solvent-spun fibers.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of a cellulose molded body according to the amine-oxide process, which results in a molded body having reduced and effectively controllable fibrillation properties.
