Try the new Mirka® Galaxy abrasive
Sand faster and longer with our newest abrasive. A clog-resistant coating and the new Multifit universal hole configuration lets you sand without dust.
How do you keep an abrasive sharp? Make it re-generating.
Non-Sticking. Self-Sharpening. Long-Lasting.
The ceramic grains in Mirka® Galaxy are self-sharpening. This means every time the edge of an abrasive grain breaks off, a new cutting edge is formed, making it possible for Galaxy to continue cutting longer and longer.
Mirka® Galaxy is suitable for many applications from automotive collision repair to marine production as well as the wood sector.
Perforation technology for abrasives
Always Correctly Placed - Multifit™
Mirka's Multifit is a new multihole design that means the abrasive is always correctly placed on any tool, with no need to match the holes on the backing pad.
With Galaxy's optimized hole count and superb edge wear resistance, we have created an abrasive that is quick to replace, so you can get on with the job - while also providing a perfect balance between long life and dust extraction.
Keep it clean
Clog Resistant Coating
One of the most important features of a long-lasting abrasive is for it to resist clogging as much as possible.
For Mirka® Galaxy, we have chosen a special clog-resistant coating, which repels dust. Since the dust doesn't stick to the abrasive, it is more effectively removed from the working surface and extracted via the Multifit holes, making Galaxy an integral part of Mirka's dustless sanding approach. With dust removed from the picture, the abrasive can continue to cut for a longer time.

How to Stop Clogging and Dust When Sanding
Why is it important to avoid clogging when sanding?
Clogging is when your abrasive becomes saturated with the material that is being removed from the surface. As a result, it cannot sand efficiently, and the residue is moving against the working surface. The sooner this happens, the shorter the useable life of the abrasive. With a clog-resistant abrasive, or one that is easily cleaned, you can continue working with the same abrasive disc for a longer time. This saves you money in the long run.
How can I make my sandpaper last longer?
The useable life of sandpaper depends on several factors, which include the material being sanded, the carefulness of the user, and the quality of the abrasive. Sanding different materials will have different effects on the abrasive, but handling the abrasive and the sanding tool carefully will prolong the useful life of both of them. We have designed the Mirka Galaxy abrasive to have excellent edge wear characteristics, given it a dust-repellent coating, and a special ceramic grain that forms new abrasive edges when it wears down so that you can continue sanding for longer.
What is the benefit of a dust repellent?
Dust is a natural by-product of sanding, a result of the material being removed from the working surface. It is important to be able to control dust, as it can affect the sanding result as well as your health. When the dust does not stick onto the abrasive, it can be more easily directed into the on-tool dust extraction system, meaning it has the least negative effect on the sanding process or occupational health.
