Dichroic color filter coatings are an excellant alternative to dyed plastics and glass. Unlike plastic color gels which age and breakdown relatively quickly during use, dichroic filters are designed to stand up to the heat and UV energy in high energy light sources.

	Color Temperature Blue ZC&R provides a variety of color correcting filters including CTB (Color Temperature Blue). Color correcting filters are used to correct the color temperature of a light source. A Full CTB filter converts a 2900K light source to 5500K. Most filters are stocked in 24" diameter x 3.3 mm thick Borofloat

	Color Temperature Orange Another standard color correcting filter is CTO (Color Temperature Orange). A Full CTO filter converts a 5500K light source to 2900K. Most filters are stocked in 24" diameter x 3.3 mm thick Borofloat

High energy light sources can also have a damaging affect on dyed glasses as well due to their heat absorbing nature. Dichroic color filters have the advantage of reflecting unwanted light instead of absorbing the energy, which allows dichroic filters to be used with much higher intensity light sources.

Dichroic color filters are used in a variety of applications including architectural, entertainment, science, and engineering. Many industry standard colors have been engineered as dichroic filters. However, we would be happy to review any custom color coatings needed to complete your project.
