The Benefits of Dust-free Sanding

Employees are your company's most important assets. Mirka sanding solutions reduce exposure to harmful sanding dust. The benefits of dust-free sanding aren't just improved health and reduced risks, but also improved bottom-line results.

Dust facts

The most dangerous types of dust are the ones with small particles. They are called PM2.5 and they can be inhaled deep into the lungs. Mirka's dust-free solutions are 99.97% effective at removing particles smaller than 0.3µm in size.*

The Mirka Abranet features a net structure instead of a conventional paper backing. This results in extremely efficient on-tool dust removal that improves both the work quality and the working environment. The Abranet product family has expanded to cover many different areas of sanding. Read more about our net abrasive and dust-free solutions in this brochure.

Efficiency

Business Benefits from Dust-free Sanding

Mirka dust-free efficiency guide

Removing dust is the best choice for making your workplace more efficient. A dust-free environment reduces time to completion, meaning fewer man-hours for you. Then, you can focus on what is essential: spending more time on the refinishing itself. 

Less mess, less stress

Eliminating dust is often very stressful because you need to spend lots of time getting rid of it completely. Not only does dust-free leave your workplace clean, but it also makes sanding stress-free.

Did You Know This About Preventing Dust?

How can I sand without getting dust everywhere? How do you prevent dust?

Most sanding naturally creates dust, and this is something Mirka takes seriously. By using on-tool dust extraction, dust can be safely removed from the working surface without it ending up in the air, or your skin, or your lungs, or anywhere you don’t want it to go. Mirka dust extractors deposit the dust safely in an easily emptied bag.

Why is it important to use dust extraction instead of cleaning the surface often?

The most dangerous dust is so-called invisible dust that can stay airborne for a long time, building up in the lungs. It has already been in the air long before it settles down on the surfaces.

Is all dust the same?

There are differences between types of dust. For example, paint residue can be highly toxic and dust from hard wood is extremely harmful if inhaled for long periods of time.

Do dust-free tools make protective gear unnecessary?

Even though Mirka’s dust-free solution removes almost all dust from the air, protective gear should always be used to protect your health. Please refer to instructions provided by your local authorities.

Can you use all sanding papers with dust-free power tools and extractors?

Yes and no. Compatible sanding papers are available, but to get the full dust-free performance, net-like abrasives must be used: the more holes there are in an abrasive, the more efficient are its dust extracting capabilities. To be able to offer an effective abrasive with maximum dust extraction, we developed Mirka Abranet.

Is dust-free equipment maintenance-free? 

To maintain dust-free performance, filters, dust bags and abrasives for a dust-free solution should be replaced regularly. In addition, we recommend regular cleaning of your sander.

Pioneers of dust-free sanding

Over 20 years ago Abranet® was invented and revolutionized sanding. This is how it all started. 

Case Dust-tree:

Clean air by Abranet

Air pollution is a serious issue in India. To improve the air quality for example, in Delhi, the decrease of emissions is paramount. We can, however, use trees to help our common cause. Local peepal tree (Ficus religious) is capable of catching approximately 27 kilograms of dust every year.

Since our dust-free Abranet solution collects about 2.3 kilograms every day,  together with Give me trees we are going to plant one peepal tree in Delhi for every 500 Abranet sanding disc used monthly. 

First trees are already planted in spring of 2019 and there are more to come!
