Mirka’s innovative net sanding concept Abranet is unlike any other. The patented construction consists of a dense network of polyamide fabric threads onto which the net abrasive grit is bonded. This open weave, net structure means that no dust particle is more than 0.5 mm from a dust extraction hole. The result is phenomenal dust extraction across the entire abrasive surface and virtually dust-free sanding.
Mirka’s net abrasives are so efficient at removing potentially dangerous sanding dust they minimise dust contamination in the workplace and create a far healthier environment. Moreover, the products eliminate the frustrating problem of dust clogging the abrasive and creating pills which cause defects in the sanding surface. Therefore, Mirka’s unique net abrasives retain their original aggressive sanding performance for far longer resulting in fewer abrasives being needed for a given job. Since dust is continuously being sucked away it’s always possible to see exactly what is happening at the sanding surface. This gives the user greater control over the job and avoids problems such as over sanding.
Mirka was the first abrasives company in the world to develop a dust-free sanding system.
