Cigarette Paper Flame Retardant Tester
Category：Flammability Tester
Introduction
The Cigarette Paper Flame Retardant Tester, also known as the smoldering tester or cigarette paper combustion tester, is a specialized instrument designed to evaluate the flame retardant properties of cigarette paper. It measures the combustion time over a defined flame-retardant distance under controlled conditions to determine the paper’s burning characteristics. The system supports vertical and horizontal testing, automated ignition, digital display, and exhaust control for accurate, repeatable testing.
Applications
This instrument is suitable for testing and quality control of:
Cigarette paper products: commercial cigarette paper, rolling papers, and filter wrapping paper.
Tobacco product R&D: evaluating new paper formulations for controlled smoldering and flame retardancy.
Tobacco manufacturing quality control: verifying batch consistency and regulatory compliance.
Educational and research laboratories: teaching combustion behavior and material safety properties.
