Sanding Applications With Mirka® Galaxy
Sand faster and longer with the new Mirka® Galaxy. A clog resistant coating and the new Multifit hole configuration will let you sand without dust.
The ceramic grains used in the Mirka Galaxy are self-sharpening. This means every time an edge of an abrasive grain breaks off, a new cutting edge is simply formed, making it possible for the Galaxy to continue cutting longer and longer.
The Mirka Galaxy is suitable for various applications from automotive collision repair to marine production as well as the wood sector.
Automotive Refinishing
Collision Repair Paint Process
The fast cut of Mirka’s new Galaxy abrasive is well suited for removing paint, feathering paint edges, smoothing body filler and blending paint in a collision repair process, thanks to the wide range of grits. For every step of the refinishing process, there is a suitable Galaxy solution.
Collision Repair Post-Paint Process
The finer grits of the new Mirka Galaxy work especially well in rectifying imperfections in automotive refinishing. In a post-paint process, working together with fine Mirka Abralon® grits and Mirka Polarshine® compounds, you can go for a true high-quality finish.
Solid Surface
Matt & Satin Finish Sanding Process
Thanks to its consistent scratch pattern and fast cut, the new Mirka Galaxy makes sanding solid surfaces a smooth process. For a matt or satin finish, continue with Mirlon Total, compatible with Mirka’s dustless solutions for a cleaner workplace.
Glossy & High-Gloss Finish Sanding Process
With a consistent scratch pattern and fast cut, the new Mirka Galaxy is an efficient and effortless choice for a solid surface sanding process. The finer grits are especially easy to polish out when going for a glossy or high gloss finish, using Mirka Abralon for damp sanding and Mirka Polarshine® polishing compounds.
Marine Production
Sanding and Polishing Gelcoat Surfaces
Here is how you can sand and polish production gelcoat surfaces for yachts and boats with Mirka® Galaxy. By adding more sanding steps, it is possible to polish for less time. This will save both time and money.
