Abranet: the original dust-free sanding net

Before Abranet, sanding was unhealthy and messy. Mirka's dust-free innovation started a whole new decade in sanding. The first net sanding product, Abranet, was born. Mirka is a pioneer in dust-free sanding solutions. For more than 15 years, we have continuously developed dust-free concepts and products and set a new industry standard. Mirka has converted the sanding business from dry sanding to dust-free sanding. Dust-free sanding saves time, money and the environment. Dust-free sanding has significantly improved the health and safety conditions of our customers.

After Abranet was born, Mirka focused on developing new net abrasives for various needs. Abranet’s development process started at the end of the last century. The net technology was developed theoretically before proceeding to laboratory tests and prototypes. The first product, Abranet, was launched in 2000. Since then, our focus has been on improving the net-abrasive properties for different customer needs. The product family has grown with several new members. We expect more new family members in the near future. Abranet® Soft Ceramic grain, strong and rough Ceramic grain
