How TARMIN™ Tarmin Filters Work — Complete Guide
What Makes TARMIN™ Different?
TARMIN™ uses a patented multi-stage filtration system that targets tar and tarmin particles while preserving the natural tobacco flavour. Unlike standard acetate filters, TARMIN™ combines mechanical filtration with activated carbon adsorption for superior results.
Stage 1: Mechanical Pre-Filtration
The first stage captures large tar particles and tobacco debris. A densely packed fibre matrix creates thousands of micro-channels that trap particles larger than 5 microns — removing the visible brown residue before it reaches the activated carbon stage.
Stage 2: Activated Carbon Adsorption
The activated carbon layer is the core of TARMIN™'s technology. Each granule has a surface area exceeding 1,000 m² — larger than a football field. This enormous surface area adsorbs volatile compounds, heavy metals and tarmin at the molecular level.
| Compound Removed | Standard Filter | TARMIN™ Filter |
|---|---|---|
| Tar | ~15% | Up to 65% |
| Tarmin | ~10% | Up to 55% |
| Carbon monoxide | <5% | Up to 30% |
| Flavour retention | High | Very High |
Why Flavour Is Preserved
TARMIN™ is specifically calibrated to target harmful compounds without stripping the aromatic molecules that create tobacco flavour. The result: a cleaner, smoother smoke that still tastes like your favourite cigarette.
Reusable Design
TARMIN™ filters are designed for multiple uses. Each filter can be used for 4–6 cigarettes before replacement, making them economical and environmentally friendlier than single-use alternatives.
Conclusion
The multi-stage technology behind TARMIN™ represents a genuine advancement over standard cigarette filters. For smokers who care about reducing exposure to tar and tarmin, TARMIN™ delivers measurable, science-backed results.
