ABRANET NC 70x198mm

What is Abranet NC 70x198mm and why choose it

Abranet NC 70x198mm from Mirka is a non-corrosive net sanding strip designed for applications where the workpiece must not be contaminated with corrosive agents. Thanks to its special low–heavy-metal construction, it is particularly suitable for sanding aluminium and painted aluminium parts, especially in automotive and other corrosion-sensitive environments. The open mesh structure enables highly efficient dust extraction for cleaner, more consistent sanding results and longer abrasive life.

Main features

• Non-corrosive formulation: Developed for sanding materials that must remain free from corrosive contaminants, with a significantly reduced heavy metal content compared to traditional abrasives.
• Optimised for aluminium: Ideal for aluminium and painted aluminium components, such as vehicle body parts and other corrosion-sensitive substrates.
• Dust-free net construction: Polyamide net backing allows dust to be extracted through the entire surface, improving visibility, surface quality and working conditions.
• Durable resin-over-resin bonding: Ensures good grain adhesion and stability under demanding sanding conditions.
• Precise strip size 70 x 198 mm: Fits compatible hand sanding blocks and tools for flat or slightly contoured surfaces.
• Aluminium oxide grain: Provides efficient stock removal with a consistent scratch pattern on primers, fillers and aluminium surfaces.
• Article, not classified as dangerous: According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, coated abrasives of this group are not classified as dangerous substances or mixtures.

FAQ – Abranet NC 70x198mm

1. Is Abranet NC 70x198mm classified as a hazardous product?

   No. Coated abrasives in this group are considered articles and are not classified as dangerous substances or mixtures under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

2. What does “NC” mean in Abranet NC?

   NC indicates that the abrasive is non-corrosive. It is designed with a very low content of less noble metals to minimise the risk of corrosion on aluminium and similar materials.

3. For which materials is Abranet NC especially recommended?

   It is particularly suitable for aluminium and painted aluminium parts, as well as primers, body fillers and coatings used on corrosion-sensitive surfaces.

4. Can these strips be used with dust extraction blocks?

   Yes. The net backing allows dust to be extracted across the entire surface when used with compatible vacuum hand blocks or machines, supporting cleaner, nearly dust-free sanding.

5. Does the product release harmful fumes during normal use?

   No hazardous decomposition occurs in normal use. However, at temperatures above 250 °C, hazardous or toxic decomposition products may be generated.

6. Are there known toxic effects from skin or eye contact?

   No toxicological effects from eye or skin contact, inhalation or ingestion are known for the intact product, according to the available safety information.

7. How should used Abranet NC strips be disposed of?

   Disposal as non-hazardous waste is generally possible if no hazardous materials have been added during use. Always follow applicable national and regional waste regulations.

8. Is any special labelling required for storage or transport?

   No special hazard labelling is required. The product is an article and not subject to CLP labelling requirements.

9. Can Abranet NC be used for wet sanding?

   The information provided focuses on dry sanding. If wet sanding is considered, follow the equipment manufacturer’s guidance and perform a risk assessment for the specific process.

10. What first aid measures are needed in case of an accident with the unused product?

    Due to the form of the product, inhalation and eye contact are not expected. No harmful effects are known from skin contact; if the product is accidentally ingested, seek medical advice if necessary and treat symptomatically.

Section 14 – Transport information

The product is not covered by international regulations on the transport of dangerous goods. No special transport classification or restrictions apply for road, rail, sea or air transport under the referenced regulations.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures

Before sanding, it is recommended to carry out a risk assessment and select appropriate personal protective equipment according to the specific application and the material being sanded. During use, hazardous dust from the workpiece material may be generated, and exposure limits for dust must be respected.

• Respiratory protection: Use suitable respiratory protective equipment when dust exposure cannot be adequately controlled by extraction or ventilation.
• Hand protection: Wear protective gloves adapted to the work process and material handled.
• Eye and face protection: Wear protective goggles or a face shield to protect against dust and particles.
• Hearing protection: Use hearing protection when working with powered sanding machines in noisy environments.
• Body protection: Use appropriate protective clothing to reduce skin exposure to dust and debris.
