Abranet® - The Original Net Abrasive

Dust-Free sanding with Abranet® increases your profitability, improves your quality of finish and helps protect your health.
For all drywall sanders and sanding tools
Mirka Abranet® Dust-Free Power
Today’s workplaces need solutions to reduce dust exposure that can affect the health of employees. Mirka has been at the forefront of solving the sanding dust issue since the introduction of Abranet in 2001.
Abranet abrasives attach to drywall sanders, sanding tools, and backing pads to allow dust to be extracted away from the sanding surface and contained in Mirka’s HEPA dust extractors. The benefits of dust-free sanding are not only improved health and reduced risks, but also better bottom-line results of your work.
Made to Make Sanding Better
Take your work to a new level - top quality that leaves you with peace of mind, not a dusty health hazard. It’s been proven that the most dangerous dust particles are too small to see. Mirka’s net abrasive solution is 99.97% effective at removing dust particles that are smaller than 0.3 cm in size.
Businesses thrive when employees are happy and healthy, and when companies truly care 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, using Abranet helps to increase profits. When adding Abranet to your toolbox, you’ll see that it lasts longer and supports an efficient workflow better than traditional sandpaper. Work is cleaner with an improved quality of finish, all while helping protect your health.
- Net backing outlasts paper
- Dust is removed before it can mar the sanding surface
- Lasts longer with no clogging
- Adds value – less abrasives per job
- Grip attachment for quick abrasive changes
- A key part of a dust-free, healthy workspace
With productivity and good health in mind, it’s an easy decision - when choosing an abrasive, choose Abranet.
Abranet® - the First Net Abrasive
In 2001, Mirka first introduced Abranet, providing you with a complete dust-free solution for your sanding challenge. Read more about Abranet®.
Is Dust Hazardous?
The most dangerous dust is the so-called invisible dust that can pass easily into the lungs and bloodstream, where they can increase a person's risk of serious disease. This smallest and most common form of dust has already been in the air long before it settles on 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.
The Best Dust Extraction on the Market
Abranet clings to your Grip-attaching backing pad, and its thousands of holes provide the best dust extraction on the market. The maximum distance from each sanding particle to the closest dust extraction hole is less than 2/10ths of an inch.
Cleanup after sanding is a breeze. Our net abrasives are perfectly made for highly efficient dust removal with our dust extractors.
Trust Mirka with this important part of your work. We believe in providing the best, for the best.

Many variants, many applications, many tasks
Abranet® - The Solution to Your Dust Problem
Abranet is a unique abrasive that differs from standard sandpaper - it features a polyamide net structure instead of a conventional solid paper backing. Abranet is highly resistant to dust pilling and clogging, ensuring optimal results.
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 open net structure ensures that a dust particle is never more than 2/10ths of an inch from a dust extraction hole. With on-tool dust extraction from virtually the entire abrasive surface, sanding grains retain their cutting power and the resulting dust is safely removed.
