Weldcap® RC 3/9-12 is a lightweight and comfortable welding face shield that offers a large field of vision and an automatic darkening filter with protection levels ranging from DIN 9 to 12. It features an infinitely adjustable adjustment knob, grinding mode operation, and a battery warning LED. The shield provides maximum UV and IR protection at every setting, with a protection level of DIN 3 when not active.

Constructed from tough plastic and flame-retardant textile, it complies with EN ISO 11611 (class 1) and EN ISO 11612 (class A/B1/C1/E3/F1). This face shield is suitable for all arc welding processes and gas welding, including electrode welding (stick welding), MIG/MAG (gas metal arc welding), high-performance welding, flux-cored welding, WIG welding (TIG, GTAW), plasma welding, microplasma welding, and plasma cutting. It is not suitable for laser welding.
