Abstract: The invention relates to a filter element for mouthpieces for use in smoking products or HNB products. The filter material has a filter main part from a tow material, the tow material being formed by a plurality of individual threads from cross-linked and crimped cellulose acetate filaments. The cellulose acetate filaments have a particularly polygonal and preferably Y-shaped cross-sectional geometry, and the tow material has a mass specific surface area of less than 0.15 m2/g, more particularly less than 0.3 m2/g, and more than 0.025 m2/g.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter material and/or filler material for mouthpieces for use with smoking products or HNB products, the filter material and/or filler material being based on cellulose acetate filaments, at least parts of which are in the form of hollow cellulose acetate filaments. The invention also relates to a mouthpiece for use with smoking products or HNB products, the mouthpiece comprising a filter material and/or filler material of the type according to the invention. The invention also relates to a cigarette filter comprising such a filter material and/or filler material, and to a corresponding method for manufacturing a filter material and/or filler material for mouthpieces for use with smoking products or HNB products.

Abstract: The present invention the use of a composite material in construction material or a decorative object, construction material or a decorative object comprising composite material, a method for air purification and a process for the manufacture of construction material or a decorative object capable of air purification.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter or filter element with a substantially cylindrical filter body, which contains, in particular, at least two different additives, the additives being located in at least two zones which are arranged one after the other in the longitudinal-axial direction of the filter body and/or in at least two zones, more particularly layers, which at least in sections lie one above the other in the radial direction of the filter body. The invention also relates to a filter or filter element for tobacco smoke, comprising a substantially cylindrical filter body that can be made from a material which in its initial state is flat, more particularly endlessly curled filaments, paper, fibrous webbing, textile material, non-woven and the like, the filter body comprising at least two zones which are arranged one after the other in the longitudinal-axial direction of the filter body, a tobacco-end zone containing an additive and a mouth-end zone being free from additive.
