Auto-darkening helmet
27 February 2015
Weldability-Sif has launched Phantom Impact, an auto-darkening helmet for welders that has a high impact resistant nylon shell suitable for all welding and cutting applications down to 10A.

Comfortable, lightweight at just 0.4kg and featuring a stylish ‘metal & ice’ decal design, the helmet can be used in a number of situations: Stick, TIG, MIG/MAG, plasma welding/cutting, grinding and Oxy/Fuel welding/cutting.
It has a 110 x 90 x 9mm cartridge and a clear 98 x 44m viewing area, providing constant UV/IR protection to DIN16. The helmet has a fully automated power on and off, and auto-darkens in <16,000s. Externally, there is a shade adjustment knob, so the wearer can manually change between DIN 9 and DIN 13. Sensitivity and delay are also adjustable.
The Phantom Impact is made of a high impact resistant nylon shell, which allows use for grinding operations. It is powered by a solar cell and comes supplied with a user manual, clear replacement front lens, adjustable headgear and comfort sweatband. Further replacement headgear, inner or outer lens and sweatbands can be ordered, also through Weldability-Sif.
