Abranet ® Net sanding system for Dust Free Sanding

abranet With Abranet®, Mirka has succeeded with something where many others have previously failed – to develop a completely even sanding net. A sanding net with thousands of holes provides a phenomenal dust extraction. The maximum distance from each sanding particle to the closest dust extraction hole is 0.5 mm! Abranet Close UpAbranet’s clever construction provides many advantages. Because the dust is being continuously sucked away, sanding is virtually dust free. Tests have shown that the dust release from Abranet® is only minuscule when compared to the dust released from traditional abrasives with dust extraction. When the abrasive and the sanding surface are constantly kept dust free, the lifespan of the abrasive is extended. Since the abrasive maintains its aggressive properties over the entire surface, sanding becomes more even and efficient. The sanding result will also be better. Since it is always possible to see what is being sanded, there will be a completely different control over the work, meaning that over-sanding, for example, can be avoided.
Additionally, Abranet® will solve many old dull problems, such as the formation of so-called “dust pills” and clogging. Since dust can no longer collect in lumps on the sanding discs/strips to the same extent, there is no longer a danger that sanded dust will build up and create grooves on the sanding surface, or fill up the disc/strip and so reduce its sanding capacity. No wonder everyone chooses Abranet®!

Abranet structureSanding dust is a major health problem in many sectors. Dust from fibre glass, carbon fibre, aluminium and hardwood, for example, usually contains harmful particles. Mirka offers a simple but clever solution to the dust problem – Abranet®. Now workers’ lungs can be protected from dangerous sanding dust.
Abranet® also makes it easier and more fun to work. Sanding without disturbing dust particles also provides better control over the work. Moreover, the final result will be better. You will get a cleaner surface and a better surface finish. One of Abranet’s many advantages is that the sanding sheets or discs usually have a longer lifespan than traditional abrasives. Companies using Abranet® know that this translates into clear savings, i.e. better profitability and competitiveness. Abranet® use has spread like wildfire from one industry to another. At the same time, we have expanded the Abranet® family with new products and accessories. Now, everyone can take full advantage of Abranet’s revolutionary qualities.

Wood and Construction Industry

Woodworking produces a lot of dust that can contain hazardous particles.The latest research shows that sanding harder wood is more dangerous than sanding softer wood. When sanding furniture, kitchen and bathroom cupboards, windows and doors, it is important to have good dust extraction, both for health reasons as well as for the final result. Naturally, the best alternative is to change and begin using the Abranet® system, which is virtually dust free. Abranet® reduces the dust load from dangerous particles on lungs, as well as provides many other time and money savings.
A dust-free work environment ensures control of the sanding work. When sanding, other work phases can be made simultaneously in the same room. And of course there will be less tidying up afterwards!
Abranet® is known for its long lifespan – which means that the abrasive doesn’t have to be changed as often as before. Another advantage is that Abranet® maintains its aggressive properties much longer than traditional sanding materials.
