Mirka Iridium is a premium paper abrasive for universal sanding. Perfected for speed and efficiency, it has a mix of ceramic and aluminium oxide grains on a flexible paper with precision coating that prevents clogging and reduces pilling. It practically repels dust and lifetime is increased as the grains stay sharp for longer.
Dust extraction is optimised with multihole patterns for discs and strips. Mirka’s Iridium abrasive range delivers amazing results on both soft and hard surfaces, making it the ideal paper abrasive choice for professionals in any industry.
The improved robust Low VOC Resin bonding and Ceramic/Aluminium Oxide grain prolongs the life and ensures fewer sanding defects and less grain breakage.

Abrasive Structure
1| Backing Material – The backing material not only carries the abrasive layers, it must also transfer the sanding power through to the surface.
2 | Make Coat – The ‘make coat’ and ‘size coat’ are layers of resin. The make coat is the first layer on which the abrasive grains are applied.
3 | Grains – When it comes to sanding wood the choice of abrasive grain is vital, both for the final result and to achieve the best possible lifespan from the product.
4 | Size Coat – The size coat is added to keep the grains firmly in place. All products in the wood sanding range are made with synthetic resins.
5 | Stearate – products in the wood sanding range are made with synthetic resins (R/R, resin over resin). Using synthetic resins help provide greater product durability and more consistant quality.
6 | Fastening System – Tough constructed hook and loop system.
