Rayon acetate was able to dominate the cigarette market for decades due to its nearly perfect set of properties:

Excellent filtration performance: Cellulose acetate effectively adsorbs tar and partial nicotine from tobacco smoke while maintaining moderate airflow resistance (i.e., smoking resistance), ensuring a smooth smoking experience. This adsorption is achieved through the fiber's large specific surface area and physicochemical interactions.

Excellent processing performance: By adjusting the fineness of fibers, the density of filament bundles, and the dosage of plasticizers, the hardness, airflow resistance, and filtration efficiency of filter tips can be precisely controlled, enabling the production of filter tips with various specifications (such as low-tar and ultra-fine branch types).

Non-toxic and harmless, with high safety: Cellulose acetate is chemically stable, odorless, and non-toxic. It does not decompose to produce harmful substances under normal smoking temperatures and has been recognized by global health regulatory agencies.

Excellent taste and appearance: Cigarettes with acetate filter tips are often perceived to have a "cleaner" smoke taste, free from additional off-flavors.

The Balance of Cost and Technology: After decades of development, its production processes have matured, with comprehensive costs remaining within an acceptable range, forming a complete and efficient global supply chain.
