NEWS 08 Cut to the finish line faster with Mirka Iridium A NEW robust abrasive designed to cut faster and more efficiently while repelling dust is being launched by Mirka UK in September. Aimed at bodyshops, workshops and industry, Iridium employs a new precision coating to speed up the sanding process. Iridium’s new multi-hole design and non-stick coating avoids loading or pilling from the dust that is created when the abrasive is in use, so the grains stay sharper for longer and the dust extraction is faster and more efficient. In addition, its blend of ceramic grains allows the initial cut to be more aggressive and longer lasting, while producing a consistent scratch pattern for the lifetime of the abrasive. Available in both discs and strips, Iridium’s coarse and fine grits allow the abrasive to work well on both soft and hard surfaces, while its flexible backing also offers excellent grain adhesion and no loss of the grains, even when folded. Craig Daycock, managing director of Mirka UK, says, “Our customers want a userfriendly product that allows them to complete a job in the fastest possible time, while providing an efficient overall process. Iridium meets these demands with ease, while moving up a gear to take abrasive design, development and technology to the next level.” SURPASS YOUR EXPECTATIONS WITH THE LAUNCH OF NOVASTAR Mirka UK is bringing the next generation of abrasives to market in September with the launch of Novastar. This new multi-hole abrasive has been developed with durability, versatility, productivity and efficiency at the forefront of the design process, enabling users to handle the most demanding of sanding applications, while still being able to provide a consistent scratch pattern. Novastar, like most of Mirka’s abrasives, provides the user with efficient dust extraction the brand is synonymous for. This process is ably assisted by its new multi-hole pattern and precision coating, ensuring that the dust produced is repelled, avoiding clogging. Suitable for use on hard surfaces and lacquers, where a robust film abrasive is required, it provides an aggressive initial cut especially with coarse grits (80-100) and is P graded from 240-600 to provide a finer finish. It is wear resistant for increased durability and its flexible backing means that it does not lose grain, even when folded. Craig Daycock, managing director of Mirka UK, says, “The markets our abrasives are used in are rapidly evolving, so we have to remain at the forefront of innovation to meet the needs and requirements of our customers. We believe the work the R&D team has put in to developing Novastar will enable users to tackle previously demanding tasks with ease and will surpass customer expectations.” THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
