Mirka Abralon Foam Backed Grip Discs, [MK8A-203-GRIT(3 Inch)]

Product Information

Abralon creates a smooth sanding pattern on angled surfaces and edges, while minimizing the risk of pressure marks. Abralon is especially suitable for use in the automotive and marine industries. The flexible weave allows water and air to pass freely, making the product suitable for both dry and wet sanding, either by machine or hand. Abralon is also suitable for the finishing and pre-polishing of gelcoat, SMC, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), lacquers, etc.

Coarser grits are recommended for:   

surface preparation of composite body parts
fine sanding of the body surfaces before primer and top lacquer

Finer grits are suitable for:

smoothing of primers and bottom lacquers

preparation of surfaces between blending
sanding of pot marked surfaces
preparation of the top coat before polishing
