Why is it important to prevent dust?

There are differences between types of dust. For example, paint residue can be highly toxic and dust from hard wood is extremely harmful if inhaled for long periods of time. 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.

Does dust-free tools make protective gear unnecessary?

Even though dust-free solutions removes almost all dust from the air, protective gear should always be used to protect your health.

Why choose dust free sanding?

There is a number of reasons why to choose dust free sanding.

First and foremost sanding dust is not good for anyone. The most dangerous types of dust are the ones with small particles. They are called PM2.5 and they can be inhaled deep into the lungs.

Mirka's dust-free solutions are very effective at removing particles smaller than 0.3µm in size.

Besides from the health benefits dust free sanding will also make your bodyshop more efficient by reducing time to completion and thereby saving you time.

The Mirka Abranet features a net structure instead of a conventional paper backing. This results in extremely efficient on-tool dust removal that improves both the work quality and the working environment.
