●●● NEWS ROUND UP SPEED EQUALS PERFECTION WITH MIRKA’S ABRANET CONTINUING ITS ‘Abranet ® Perfection’ marketing campaign to raise awareness of the issue of airborne dust emission associated with sanding, Mirka is expanding its message to cover speed and efficiency. The extended campaign is being communicated across print, social media and digital platforms using imagery that emphasises the importance of Abranet as a fast and effective abrasive solution that assists businesses in saving time and money, while still providing a dust-free environment to work in. The Abranet range has been designed and developed to work together with Mirka tools such as the lightweight DEROS sander for optimal dust removal, which translates into improved efficiency for businesses and better environmental conditions for customers and workers. Research carried out at Mirka’s R&D centre at its headquarters in Jeppo, Finland, found that Abranet’s hard wearing surface offers a faster process and prevents the abrasive from rapid or premature wear, offering a product lifespan many times longer than traditional abrasives. This means fewer consumables are needed, the work environment stays much cleaner, and a smooth, consistent, high quality finish is achieved on a cleaner surface. Mirka’s total solution makes sanding easier and more effective for the user across multiple applications, laboratory tests show that Abranet addresses the dust issue more comprehensively than any other product. The amount of dust in the air when machine sanding with Abranet is 6,900 times less than when sanding using traditional abrasives with dust extraction. When Abranet was compared to a traditional 6-hole sanding disc with a dust extraction system, it proved itself to be superior. The dust concentration from Abranet was maximum 0.15mg/m 3 , while the corresponding figure for the traditional sanding disc was 1.6mg/m 3 . Craig Daycock, managing director of Mirka UK, says, “We are committed to long-term investment in both our solutions and the training we provide to our users when it comes to best practice. The extension of the ‘Abranet Perfection’ campaign has allowed the business to reach out across multiple social media platforms to highlight the key benefits of the Abranet range. The world’s original, innovative net abrasive stands out from the crowd for its performance, speed and efficiency, delivering a smooth consistent finish while helping customers make time and cost savings.” CROWN TRADE STERACRYL MOULD INHIBITING PAINT – HELPING TO TACKLE THE ISSUES OF ‘CONDENSATION SEASON’ WE ARE coming up to the time of year where the ‘condensation season’ sets in, characterised by steamy windows and dampness on walls. If a client reports problems with condensation in their property, you can offer a solution to help manage the issue with Crown Trade Steracryl Mould Inhibiting Paint. Available in Matt and Eggshell finishes, this durable product contains an effective fungicide, specially developed to maintain decorated surfaces by inhibiting the development of mould growth on the paint film. Debbie Orr, Crown Paints’ Trade Marketing Manager, said: “As the condensation season starts to set in, usually in October and November, properties can be affected by additional water around windows and walls as temperatures start to drop. “This combination of lower temperatures - particularly in areas where the efficiency of glazing, insulation and ventilation needs to be taken into consideration - can lead to water droplets forming on surfaces. “Over time, these wet areas can provide a perfect breeding ground which allow mould spores to form. “Crown Trade Steracryl Mould Inhibiting Paint has undergone stringent fungal tests carried out to the British Standard BS3900:G6. “The acrylic eggshell system is also washable, making it ideal for use in kitchens and bathrooms where condensation can be more commonplace, so its ideal to help tackle the issue.” As well as the mould inhibiting formulation, Crown Trade’s range of Steracryl coatings include an antibacterial product, ideal for areas where hygiene is paramount. The handy 2.5 litre pack size is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Crown Trade’s video, ‘The Right Paint For The Job,’ available to view at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=akysgI588P8 includes an insight into the trusted technology behind both the Crown Trade Steracryl Antibacterial and Mould Inhibiting paints, along with other performance systems in the range, such as the premium high technology coating Crown Trade Clean Extreme.
