The Mirka Iridium Strip 70 x 400 mm Grip 140A Perf is a high-performance coated abrasive strip from Mirka’s Iridium range, designed for fast, efficient sanding with a consistently fine surface finish. Manufactured with cutting edge technology and a precision grain coating, it cuts quickly while resisting wear and dust build-up. The 70 x 400 mm perforated strip format with grip backing is ideal for use on compatible sanding blocks and tools where strong dust extraction and easy strip changes are required.

Iridium abrasives are engineered to move you from rough sanding to smooth finishing in fewer steps, delivering long-lasting sharpness on both soft and hard surfaces.

Main features

• Fast stock removal with fine finish – advanced grain composition and coating help you reach the desired surface quality quickly.
• Precision coating that repels dust – the abrasive layer is designed to resist clogging so the grains stay sharp for longer sanding life.
• Efficient multi-hole perforation – the Iridium multihole pattern enables highly effective dust extraction when used with vacuum systems.
• Durable paper backing – latex C-paper offers a strong yet flexible base with excellent grain adhesion.
• Grip attachment – hook-and-loop backing allows quick strip changes and secure fixation to compatible tools.
• Wide grit range within the Iridium family – from P40 to P1000, Iridium abrasives can be used from coarse sanding to final finishing stages.
• Versatile across materials – suitable for both soft and hard surfaces, from automotive paints to wood and composites.
