Filmcol is made from pure, high-quality fibers suitable for direct contact with unexposed X-ray film and offset plates. Its chemical neutrality protects sensitive materials from contamination, discoloration and degradation.

Safe for sensitive film

Pure, high-quality fibre board

Filmcol is made from high-purity fibres suitable for direct contact with unexposed X-ray film and offset plates, helping to prevent contamination, discoloration and image degradation.

Stable film-processing

Designed for automatic workflows

Engineered for dimensional stability and stiffness, Filmcol supports reliable handling and alignment in automatic darkroom processing equipment.

Controlled air permeability

Protection during storage

Optimized air permeability helps manage moisture while maintaining a protective environment for light-sensitive materials in storage.

Photographic Activity Test compliant
