TWINSBURG, OH -- May 13, 2008 -- While dry sanding has become the accepted method in the modern automotive refinish industry, the research and development team at Mirka believed that another solution could be more effective.

Researchers took the company’s “net” sanding technology and used it to create a new abrasive product, called Autonet. According to Mirka, the new product has performance characteristics specifically tuned to the unique requirements of the automotive refinish industry; aggressive first cut, greater productivity, dust-free environment and affordability.

Its secret is a patented net construction comprised of a dense network of polyamide fabric threads onto which the abrasive grit is bonded. Autonet features an open weave structure that ensures no dust particle is more than 0.5mm from a dust extraction hole. The net result is dust extraction across the entire abrasive surface, leading to what Mirka says is virtually dust-free sanding. Fully compatible with all new paint technology, Mirka says its new product provides everything an operator needs in terms of a fast, efficient and cost effective surface finishing system, particularly when compared with traditional paper products.

While based on the award winning Abranet product, Autonet features thicker, heavier fibres coated with extra abrasive grit which give it exceptional cutting performance while reducing edge wear in finer grits. These benefits enable it to achieve a top quality surface finish far quicker than with conventional products: the time spent on each job is cut, labour costs are reduced and profitability is increased.
