The Roscolux Tough Frost is a light diffusing material used in professional photography and film production. It's designed to be placed in front of lights to create a soft, even, and natural lighting effect.
Unlike ordinary color filters that are manufactured by surface coating clear polyester plastic film, Roscolux's color is not merely painted onto the surface. This unique manufacturing process ensures that the dye is resistant to heat and physical abrasion, preventing quick fading and scratching.
The Roscolux range is Rosco's premier line of filters, recognized globally for its longevity, even under the intense heat of theatrical lights. More than 65% of the Roscolux range is made from co-extruded polycarbonate plastic, while the rest is deep dyed polyester.
The Roscolux Tough Frost is available in sheets of 20in. X 24in. (50cm x 61cm) or rolls of 24in. X 25ft. (61cm x 7.62m). For those requiring larger dimensions, the Cinelux line of filters offers rolls of 48in. X 25ft. (122cm x 7.62m).
Supergel is the trade name for Roscolux in international markets. It's the same high-quality light diffusing material from Rosco, known for its durability and effectiveness in creating soft, even lighting for photography and film production.
