煙草在線據《煙業通訊》報道編譯　　據韓國《先驅報》報道，KT&G公司7月15日宣布，它將在不久之后推出韓國第一個低燃點（LIP）卷煙品牌。

　　公司表示，它獨立研發了一個“藍色紙環”系統，專門生產低燃點卷煙，該系統將向卷煙紙中添加必須的化學物質。

　　為了保護藍色紙環技術，KT&G為該系統申請了五項專利。

　　低燃點卷煙紙將于7月23日起被用于KT&G公司One品牌三個系列的卷煙產品。

　　此后，公司將為其所有卷煙品牌都換上低燃點卷煙紙。

　　目前，韓國并未制定法律要求卷煙使用低燃點卷煙紙。

KT&G Strikes up Blue Nand LIP Technology in South Korea

　　KT&G said yesterday that it would launch South Korea's first low-ignition propensity (LIP) cigarettes later this month, according to a story in The Korea Herald.

　　The company says it has developed independently a "blue band" system for producing LIP cigarettes, a system that applies chemicals to the cigarette paper.

　　It has five patent applications submitted or pending in respect of the blue band technology.

　　The LIP paper is due to be used from July 23 on three of KT&G cigarettes within its The One brand of products.

　　It will then be rolled out to the rest of the company's cigarettes.

　　Cigarettes in Korea are not required by law to have LIP paper. Enditem
