Crafted by Rosco, a globally recognized brand in the field of lighting filters, the Roscolux Apricot filter is part of their premier range. It's manufactured using a unique tri-extrusion process that combines three discrete layers. This innovative method seals the colored layer between two microscopically thin layers of clear film, minimizing dye migration and extending the filter's effective life.
Unlike ordinary color filters that are made by surface coating clear polyester plastic film, Roscolux filters are comprised of two types of plastic. Over 65% of the filter is made from co-extruded polycarbonate plastic, while the remainder is deep dyed polyester. This construction ensures that the color is not merely painted onto the surface, but is integral to the filter itself. This makes the Roscolux Apricot filter resistant to heat and physical abrasion, reducing the risk of fading and scratching.
The Roscolux Apricot filter, also known under the trade name "Supergel" overseas, is part of the most widely used filter range in the world. It's available in sheets of 20in. X 24in. (50cm x 61cm), making it suitable for a wide range of lighting applications. For those requiring larger dimensions, the Cinelux line of filters is available in rolls of 48in. X 25ft. (122cm x 7.62m). With the Roscolux Apricot filter, you can enhance your photography with a touch of color and create stunning visual effects.
