A dust-free solution for a clean workplace
Abranet increases your profitability, improves your quality of finish and helps protect your health, whatever your sector of activity.
For all drywall sanders and sanding tools
Mirka Abranet® Dust-Free Power
We’re in a new age in time where any sander needs some sort of solution to keep the environment dust-free. Through Mirka’s journey that began over 20 years ago, we’ve developed Abranet, the quick and efficient solution to supercharge your business to the next level.
Abranet fits on all drywall sanders and sanding tools. Our abrasive attaches to your Mirka tool and sander backing pad to help reduce exposure to harmful sanding dust that can affect the health of your employees. The benefits of dust-free sanding aren't just improved health and reduced risks, but also improved bottom-line results of your work.
Evolved to Make Sanding Better
Take your business where your customers expect you to be - top level quality that leaves them with a peace of mind, not a dusty health hazard. We all know that the most dangerous dust particles are the ones we cannot see. Mirka’s net abrasive solution is 99.97% effective at removing dust particles that are smaller than 0.3cm in size.
Businesses thrive when employees are happy and healthy and the customer sees that a company truly cares about safety and efficiency.
What Is Abranet and How Is It Different?
Abranet is highly resistant to dust, which helps ensure optimal usage for all types of sanding work. When combined with our ergonomic and efficient power tools and dust extractors, you’re guaranteed a dust-free surface, every time. Abranet is multifunctional, perfect for sanding fillers, primers, topcoats, composite materials, and a wide range of other materials for industrial applications.
When sanding, you can bet there will be dust, and this is something to take seriously. Dealing with dust can be expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous. By using on-tool dust extraction, dust can be safely removed from the working surface without it ending up in the air, on the floor, on your skin, and in your lungs.
What Are The Benefits of Using Abranet?
To put it simply, Abranet helps increase profits. Adding Abranet to your arsenal, you’ll never see a better quality of finish in your work, all while helping protect your health.
When money and health are the two things that we all aspire for, it’s an easy decision when choosing an abrasive, choose Abranet.
- Dust-free sanding allows for a healthier work environment
- Work is easier, fun, and much more satisfying when finished.
- Less dust particles offer better control over your work.

Abranet® - the Net Abrasive
Twenty years ago, Mirka first introduced Abranet. We solve your problem by providing you with a complete dust-free solution for your sanding challenge. Read more about Abranet®.
Is Dust Hazardous?
The most dangerous dust is so-called invisible dust that can stay airborne for a long time, building up in the lungs. It has already been in the air long before it settles down on the surfaces.
Paint residue can be highly toxic and dust from hardwood is extremely harmful if inhaled for long periods of time.
This is why, even though we created the best abrasive for a dust extraction tool, we still recommend wearing protective gear.

Abranet® - Your Solution to the Dust Problem
Abranet is an abrasive that is unique from standard sand paper: it features a net structure instead of a conventional paper backing. Abranet is highly resistant to dust pilling and clogging, ensuring optimal usage for every abrasive.
Each grit delivers excellent results, from the original Abranet to its many variations. The abrasives are best combined with Mirka’s efficient and ergonomic power tools and dust extractors.
Abranet’s polyamide fabric net structure ensures a sanding particle is never more than 0.5 mm from a dust extraction hole. With on-tool dust extraction from virtually the entire abrasive surface, sanding grains are able to retain their cutting power and the resulting dust is safely removed.
