Unlike ordinary color filters that are made by surface coating clear polyester plastic film, the Roscolux Tough Rolux is made using a unique tri-extrusion process. This process seals the colored layer between two thin layers of clear film, minimizing dye migration and extending the filter's effective life.
The Roscolux Tough Rolux provides the densest diffusion in the series, spreading light nearly 180 degrees. This broad and even illumination is ideal for professional lighting applications, helping to create a balanced and well-lit environment.
The Roscolux Tough Rolux is made from two types of plastic. Over 65% of the product is composed of co-extruded polycarbonate plastic, and the remaining portion is made from deep dyed polyester. This combination ensures durability and longevity, even under the intense heat of theatrical lights.
The unique construction method of the Roscolux Tough Rolux prevents the dye from being easily removed by heat or physical abrasion. This means that the filter's color will not fade or scratch easily, maintaining its quality and performance over time.
The Roscolux range, including the Tough Rolux, is known for its superior quality and performance. Its unique construction method and materials make it durable and long-lasting, even under intense heat. These features, along with its dense light diffusion, make it a popular choice for professional lighting applications worldwide.
