Are Mirka extractors and hoses antistatic?

Answer: In the Mirka dust extractor range, the 1230 series extractor as well as the 1242M are antistatic.


The 1025 extractor is not antistatic.

All Mirka extractor hoses except the 20mm x 4m hose (91100) are antistatic.

For optimal antistaticity, always use official Mirka extractor hoses and make sure that your extractor is plugged into a grounded socket. The industry defined antistaticity level is ≤Ω 10¹¹. Mirka hoses are ≤Ω 10⁶, meaning they are less conducive than the industry defined minimum.
