ABRANET ACE SHEETS

What is Mirka Abranet Ace Sheets and why choose them

Mirka Abranet Ace Sheets are high-performance net abrasive sheets designed for demanding sanding applications on wood, solid surface, metal and painted substrates. Based on a strong polyamide/polyester net backing with ceramic abrasive grain, they combine aggressive cutting power with long life and excellent dust extraction when used with a compatible vacuum system. Classified as non-dangerous coated abrasives, they are suitable for professional workshops and high-quality DIY surface preparation.

Main features

• High-performance ceramic grain for fast stock removal and superior cutting on hardwoods and other hard materials.
• Net construction that allows efficient dust extraction across the entire surface when used with extraction, helping to keep the work area cleaner.
• Durable polyamide / polyester net backing that resists tearing and maintains performance on demanding jobs.
• Closed coating with resin over resin bonding for consistent finish quality and long abrasive life.
• Available in a wide grit range, typically from coarse to fine (around P80 to P1000) to cover everything from rapid material removal to fine finishing.
• Suitable for a wide variety of materials, including wood, solid surface, metals, fillers, primers and paints.
• Non-classified as a dangerous substance or mixture according to EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

FAQ – Abranet Ace Sheets

1. Are Abranet Ace Sheets classified as hazardous?

No. Abranet Ace Sheets are coated abrasive articles and are not classified as dangerous substances or mixtures according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. No hazard labelling is required for the product itself.

2. Do the sheets release harmful substances during normal use?

No specific toxicological effects from the sheets themselves are known when handled correctly. However, hazardous dust can be generated from the workpiece material during sanding, so appropriate dust control and personal protective equipment should always be used.

3. What materials can I sand with Abranet Ace Sheets?

The sheets are suitable for a wide range of materials, including hardwoods and softwoods, MDF/HDF, chipboard, solid surface materials, primers and fillers, paints and lacquers, plastics, glass fibre and various metals such as steel and mild steel.

4. What grit range is available?

Abranet Ace abrasives are typically available from coarse to fine grits, approximately P80 up to around P1000, allowing you to cover everything from aggressive stock removal to fine finishing and denibbing.

5. Can Abranet Ace Sheets be used with dust extraction?

Yes. The open net construction is specifically designed for dust-free sanding when used with a suitable backing pad and dust extraction system, helping to improve visibility and working conditions.

6. Are there any special storage requirements?

Coated abrasives are stable when handled and stored correctly. Store the sheets in a dry, cool place and follow Mirka’s general recommendations and any instructions provided with your sanding machine.

7. What should I do in case of fire involving Abranet Ace Sheets?

Use extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding materials, such as water, foam, sand, powder or CO2. Toxic fumes may occur, so respiratory protective equipment should be used by fire fighters.

8. Are there known environmental hazards for this product?

No specific toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative or mobile properties are known for the product in its article form. Nevertheless, used abrasives should always be disposed of responsibly.

9. How should used Abranet Ace Sheets be disposed of?

Disposal should follow national and regional regulations. If no hazardous materials have been added to the abrasives during use, disposal as non-hazardous waste is generally possible under the applicable European waste codes.

10. Is any special first aid required when handling these sheets?

Due to the solid form of the product, inhalation or eye contact with the sheet itself is not expected. No harmful effects on skin are known. If the product is accidentally ingested, contact a physician if necessary and treat symptomatically.
