Solutions for Composites
Grinding, sanding and polishing composite materials
Mirka’s dust-free sanding and polishing solutions maximise efficiency, minimise costs and deliver first-class results, for even the most demanding applications.
Composite Surfaces
From grinding glass fibre reinforced polyester to polishing composite to a high-gloss finish, Mirka has class-leading abrasives, tools and solutions for manufacturers working with composites. Composite surfaces are often large and ergonomic power tool design plays a significant role in making sanding work efficient and effective.
Grinding and sanding composites without personal protective equipment or a dust extraction system can pose a significant risk for occupational diseases to develop. Using Mirka's proven dust-free technology makes workplaces safer and working more enjoyable - not to mention reaching the best possible finishing quality.
Heavy duty sanding of large surfaces
Sanding Composites in Windpower Applications
For sanding composite materials in windpower blade manufacturing and reconditioning, Mirka focuses on providing dust-free sanding solutions to improve both the quality of the finish and the work environment.
Mirka power tools and abrasives are designed to withstand demanding heavy-duty applications such as sanding large composite surfaces on wind turbine blades.

Abrasives for Sanding Composite Surfaces
Solid Surface Polishing and Sanding
The introduction of solid surface materials integrated into many interior design applications such as kitchens, bathrooms, furniture and public spaces has raised the standard required for high-quality surface finishing. Mirka’s customer-focused approach has led to the development of many solutions to meet this need, including the Mirka® DEROS sander in combination with Abranet abrasives and suitable extraction to deliver a dust-free sanding experience.
For small areas, the Mirka AOS has been developed to reach hard to access areas and tight spaces, achieving a smooth surface finish when combined with Mirka Abranet and Abralon abrasives.
Polishing Composite Surfaces
When a composite surface has been sanded completely smooth using Mirka abrasives and tools, it is time for Mirka's polishing know-how to enter the stage.
Mirka offers different polishers for small or large composite surfaces, for manufacturing or restoration, for marine, transport, or solid surface applications, designed for complete control of the surface and the desired shine. To go together with the ergonomic polishing tools, there are suitable consumables such as polishing pads and other supplies, as well as efficient water-based polishing compounds.
Polishing Compounds
To achieve the ultimate high-perfection finish required for multiple surface applications, Mirka’s Polarshine range of polishing compounds is optimised to deliver superior results every time.
A better choice for you and the environment
Water-Based Polishes
Mirka' polishes are all water-based and produced in Finland. There are many benefits of choosing a water-based polishing compound.
- Effective permanent removal of scratches - Water-based compounds remove scratches permanently. Solvent-based compounds can lose gloss after cleaning the surface with a degreaser and in some cases, may only temporarily hide scratches.
- Safer for the operator - No hazardous chemicals
- Sustainable - Water-based polishes are better for the environment and do not contain benzene or similar hazardous chemicals.
