<\/p>\nMirka is launching Iridium 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 in automotive surface finishing environments, with a construction that balances flexibility, precision and efficiency.<\/p>\n
Iridium Soft is suitable for pre- and post-paint applications, especially hard-cured coatings found in the collision repair sector. The abrasive\u2019s three-part Multifit hole configuration constructed with a polyurethane layer on a flexible foam base and long-lasting aluminium oxide grains, is designed to follow the contours of a car body 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
