Mirka UK is launching IridiumÔ Soft, heralding a new era of sanding. The flexible film on a soft foam backing is designed for dry use, optimised for high-performance fine sanding by machine or hand, with a construction that balances flexibility, precision and efficiency.
Iridium Soft is suitable for sanding a high-gloss finish on painted surfaces. The abrasive’s three-part MultifitÒ hole configuration constructed with a polyurethane layer on a flexible foam base and long-lasting aluminium oxide grains, is designed to follow contours closely for precision sanding, providing great cutting performance and even sanding results. It offers a new level of control, durability and superior finish, ensuring a better user experience and outstanding results.
Dry sanding is particularly beneficial as it is a faster process, generates less mess and can be employed with a mobile dust extraction unit to save energy costs and generate a dust-free environment.
Key features include:
Versatility: efficient dry sanding in eight grits, from 400 to 2000 for a wide range of sanding applications
Flexible foam backing: soft foam base conforms effortlessly to curves and contours for smooth, even sanding
Clog-resistant: Mirka’s Multifit™ dust extraction pattern prevents clogging and ensures a cleaner workspace
Long lifetime: precision coating and specialised grains optimise performance, ensuring a long lifetime on demanding surfaces
Comfort: ease of handling and ergonomic operation reduces user fatigue during both manual and machine sanding
Smooth surface preparation: a fine scratch pattern ensures that the surface is evenly prepared for the next step, such as priming, painting, or polishing. It prevents visible scratches after finishing.
“Iridium Soft is anything but," says Neil Newbrook, business sector manager Wood at Mirka (UK) Ltd. "It brings all the benefits of dry sanding to deliver a fine result, with all the advantages of a dust-free workshop.”
