ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for producing cigarette filters which exhibit desired adhesion properties between the filter fibers, and which may be subjected to a substantially broader operating range during a temperature melt fusion step. A crystalline propylene polymer and a second crystalline polymer are mixed together, and the blend is extruded into fibers which are then heated to a temperature above the original melting point of the second crystalline polymer and below the original melting point of the crystalline propylene polymer. The fibers are twisted and/or crimped to effectuate desired adhesion between the fibers and are subsequently formed into filter rods which display greatly increased cohesiveness.
