Cut to the finish<br />
line faster with<br />
Mirka Iridium<br />
A<br />
NEW robust abrasive<br />
designed to cut<br />
faster and more efficiently<br />
while repelling<br />
dust is being<br />
launched by Mirka UK in September.<br />
Aimed at bodyshops,<br />
workshops and industry, Iridium<br />
employs a new precision<br />
coating to speed up the sanding<br />
process.<br />
Iridium’s new multi-hole<br />
design and non-stick coating<br />
avoids loading or pilling from<br />
the dust that is created when<br />
the abrasive is in use, so the<br />
grains stay sharper for longer<br />
and the dust extraction is faster<br />
and more efficient.<br />
In addition, its blend of ceramic<br />
grains allows the initial<br />
cut to be more aggressive and<br />
longer lasting, while producing<br />
a consistent scratch pattern<br />
for the lifetime of the<br />
abrasive. Available in both<br />
discs and strips, Iridium’s<br />
coarse and fine grits allow the<br />
abrasive to work well on both<br />
soft and hard surfaces, while<br />
its flexible backing also offers<br />
excellent grain adhesion and<br />
no loss of the grains, even<br />
when folded.<br />
Craig Daycock, managing<br />
director of Mirka UK, says,<br />
“Our customers want a userfriendly<br />
product that allows<br />
them to complete a job in the<br />
fastest possible time, while<br />
providing an efficient overall<br />
process. Iridium meets these<br />
demands with ease, while<br />
moving up a gear to take abrasive<br />
design, development and<br />
technology to the next level.”<br />
SURPASS YOUR EXPECTATIONS<br />
WITH THE LAUNCH OF NOVASTAR<br />
Mirka UK is bringing the next generation of abrasives to market in September with the<br />
launch of Novastar. This new multi-hole abrasive has been developed with durability,<br />
versatility, productivity and efficiency at the forefront of the design process, enabling users<br />
to handle the most demanding of sanding applications, while still being able to provide a<br />
consistent scratch pattern.<br />
Novastar, like most of Mirka’s abrasives, provides the user with efficient dust extraction<br />
the brand is synonymous for. This process is ably assisted by its new multi-hole pattern<br />
and precision coating, ensuring that the dust produced is repelled, avoiding clogging.<br />
Suitable for use on hard surfaces and lacquers, where a robust film abrasive is required,<br />
it provides an aggressive initial cut especially with coarse grits (80-100) and is P graded<br />
from 240-600 to provide a finer finish. It is wear resistant for increased durability and its<br />
flexible backing means that it does not lose grain, even when folded.<br />
Craig Daycock, managing director of Mirka UK, says, “<strong>The</strong> markets our abrasives are<br />
used in are rapidly evolving, so we have to remain at the forefront of innovation to meet<br />
the needs and requirements of our customers. We believe the work the R&D team has put<br />
in to developing Novastar will enable users to tackle previously demanding tasks with ease<br />
and will surpass customer expectations.”<br />
