New
and Improved
Mirka Mirlon Total
is a cut above
Mirka UK is introducing a new and
improved formula for all its Mirlon Total
grits, designed for both machine and hand
sanding, providing 20 per cent higher
cutting performance, better mechanical
strength and increasing the product’s
lifespan.
Developed using Mirka’s innovative
Total Coating technology, Mirlon Total
features an open and flexible structure and
strengthened fibres that make it stronger
and last longer. It is more aggressive than
Mirlon and produces a dense, balanced
cutting and scratch pattern and rapid result
for both wet and dry sanding. The doublesided
abrasive collects and attracts the
dust from the surface delivering excellent
dust extraction.
Applications include e-coat scuffing,
primer and bumper sanding, edge and hard
to reach areas, door jambs and pockets
sanding, blending, base coat de-nibbing and
clear coat sanding and de-nibbing.
The grits are colour coded for easy
identification: 360 (red), 800 (black), 1500
(grey), 2500 (beige).
In addition, Mirlon Total comes with a
new interface pad, based on a patented
spacer backing construction, enabling
77mm and 150mm non-woven discs to be
used on power tools. The pad’s mushroomshaped
hooks allow the non-woven
products to stick well to the interface
and avoid the fibres getting caught in the
backing pad. As there is no need to use
velour, both sides of the interface pad can
be used, making it cost-effective.
Steve Smith, national sales manager ART
of Mirka UK, says, “With its improved cut
and scratch pattern and longer lifetime,
we’re confident users will discover the
comprehensive benefits of Mirlon Total for
a whole range of applications. And with the
added benefit of the new interface pad,
machine sanding just got even better.”
