Mirka MIRKA Abrasives

Leading the Dust-Free Sanding Revolution

Mirka is a family-owned Finnish company and the only company that develops and produces abrasives, tools and polishing compounds under the same roof. With almost eight decades at the forefront of surface finishing technology, Mirka has earned its reputation as a pioneer in the abrasives industry, particularly for innovating dust-free sanding and making workplaces more dustless since 1990. This comprehensive approach to surface finishing makes Mirka a unique force in the automotive, industrial, marine, and woodworking sectors.

Revolutionary Net Abrasive Technology

At the heart of Mirka's abrasive lineup is Abranet, the ground-breaking innovation that pioneered the dust-free sanding revolution. This net, made of polyamide fabric with abrasive grains bonded to it, allows for nearly dust-free sanding when used with Mirka's Dust Extractors and Power Tools, since a sanding particle is never more than 0.5 mm from a dust extraction hole. The result is 99.97% effectiveness at removing particles smaller than 0.3µm in size, creating safer work environments while extending abrasive life by preventing clogging.

Abranet (Original) is the first patented net abrasive from Mirka and is multifunctional, working well on fillers, primers, topcoats, and composites. The product family has expanded to include specialized variants like Abranet Ace with ceramic grit for demanding applications, and Abranet Yellow designed specifically for painters and drywall professionals working on walls and ceilings.

High-Performance Ceramic Abrasives

Mirka Galaxy represents the next generation in abrasive technology. This high technology abrasive for dustless sanding combines effectiveness with long use life, thanks to a new kind of self-sharpening ceramic grain and a clogging resistant coating. The ceramic grains in Mirka Galaxy are self-sharpening, meaning 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. This makes Galaxy particularly valuable for applications from automotive collision repair to marine production as well as the wood sector.
