Mirka Abralon is a unique multifunctional patented sanding material developed for the flexible sanding of both smooth and profiled surfaces.
The Mirka Abralon Foam Grip 6" Disc - 2000 Grit; 20 Pack - 8A-241-2000 is a professional-quality abrasive disc specifically designed for a variety of surface finishing tasks, such as polishing, sanding, and refinishing. With its unique foam construction and even distribution of abrasive grains, this product offers a consistently smooth finish, making it an ideal choice for automotive, marine, and woodworking industries.
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 and 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.

- Ensure the surface to be sanded or polished is clean and free of debris
- Turn on the sander or polisher and begin sanding/polishing the surface with the Abralon disc, applying light to moderate pressure
- Move the tool in a consistent pattern across the surface, ensuring even coverage and material removal
- Periodically check the progress and adjust pressure or speed as necessary to achieve the desired finish
- Replace the Abralon disc when it becomes worn or loses effectiveness
Best Practices and Tips
- Start with a lower grit Abralon disc if heavy material removal is required and progress to a higher grit for final finishing
- Clean the Abralon disc periodically during use to maintain optimal performance and extend its lifespan
- Apply only light to moderate pressure to avoid excessive material removal or damage to the surface being sanded or polished
