Abrasive Discs & Sanding Blossoms KOVAX or MICRUM
What Are the Benefits of Dry Sanding?

Dry sanding is one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods in the automotive painting industry. It offers numerous advantages that not only optimize the workflow but also significantly reduce costs. Unlike wet sanding, dry sanding does not generate moisture, eliminating additional drying times and the risk of water residues that could affect the paint finish. This saves time and ensures consistently high-quality results. For even more precise results, sanding blossoms can be used, making them ideal for fine-detail work.

Advantages of MICRUM over other abrasives: More than twice the efficiency and a superior sanding finish. In the final stage, Micrum dry sanding discs with grit 4000 achieve the level of the finest wet sanding discs. The 34mm sanding blossoms have become indispensable at the Kießling Paint Center, ensuring maximum efficiency. Overall, it can be concluded that MICRUM dry sanding discs have established themselves as the clear test winner in all areas.

Efficiency and Precision: Why Dry Sanding is the First Choice

Another major advantage is time savings. Without the additional drying step, processing can be carried out much faster. Shorter working times and faster project completion mean not only more efficient processes but also satisfied customers due to shorter delivery times. Sanding blossoms provide valuable support here as well, further reducing processing time for precise applications.

Dry sanding also enables more precise surface finishing. Sanding marks are immediately visible and can be corrected on the spot, improving control and the final result. The resulting smooth surface creates the ideal foundation for subsequent painting, enhancing the quality of the entire process.

Another aspect in favor of dry sanding is the lower cost. Since no water is needed, expenses for additional materials are eliminated, and the abrasive materials used last longer. Overall, dry sanding offers numerous advantages, making it the preferred method in modern paint shops.

Which Manufacturers Offer Dry Sanding Discs and Tools?

In the field of high-quality sanding technologies, many manufacturers provide innovative solutions for paint shops and other industries. Three key names in this segment are Kovax, Mirka, and Micrum.

Kovax – The Market Leader with Premium Products

Kovax has established itself as a global market leader in sanding technologies. This Japanese company is known for its high quality and innovative products specifically tailored to the needs of paint shops. Particularly noteworthy is the ToleCut series, an innovative dry sanding system for spot and finishing work that stands out for its efficiency and precision. Other highlights include Buflex for perfect surface finishing and Maxfilm, offering durability and precise results. Kovax impresses not only with its product variety but also with its decades of expertise and customer focus.

Mirka – Another Top Provider

Mirka, a leading global manufacturer from Finland, is on par with Kovax in terms of quality and innovation. The brand offers a wide range of sanding solutions, including the highly regarded Abranet, a sanding net that reduces dust and delivers perfect sanding results, as well as the popular Gold and Polarstar products for professional applications. Mirka stands out for its robust and versatile products, ideal for paint shops and industrial applications.

Micrum – The Emerging Newcomer from Italy

Micrum, a rising manufacturer from Italy, has made a name for itself with an impressive range of premium micro-abrasives. The company provides solutions specifically developed for demanding applications, standing out with innovative technologies and high-quality materials. Products like the Premium Micro Abrasives combine precision and efficiency, offering an exciting alternative for paint shops looking to explore new approaches.

What Advantages Does MICRUM, the Test Winner, Offer Over Other Dry Sanding Discs and Sanding Blossoms?

Micrum, the emerging Italian manufacturer of sanding technologies, delivers impressive real-world results and provides paint shops with significant advantages over established brands like Kovax. In independent tests conducted by the Kießling Paint Center, Micrum has proven its strength convincingly.

Longer Durability and Finer Sanding Finish

According to tests, a 34mm sanding disc from Micrum lasts more than twice as long as comparable products from Kovax. This means lower material consumption and, consequently, reduced costs for paint shops. Additionally, Micrum delivers a noticeably finer sanding finish, significantly improving the quality of surface processing.

Innovative Grit up to 4000

Another key advantage of Micrum is the availability of grit sizes up to 4000. These ultra-fine abrasives greatly reduce the effort required for polishing sanded components. "With Micrum, we work more efficiently," says Almidin Aga, a vehicle painter at the Kießling Paint Center. The fine grit ensures perfectly prepared surfaces that require less rework.

Where Can You Buy Micrum Sanding Discs in Germany and Austria?

The high-quality Micrum sanding discs are easily available in Germany and Austria through Chemical-Shark.de. This online shop offers a wide selection of grit sizes, including the innovative grit 4000, as well as fast delivery times and reliable service—ideal for paint shops focused on efficiency and quality.

Which Machines Are Suitable for Dry Sanding?

When it comes to dry sanding, choosing the right machine is crucial for efficient and precise results. Some of the best machines in this segment come from Flex, Mirka, and Micrum.

Flex PXE 80 and Flex ORE Series

The Flex PXE 80 is a compact, versatile machine ideal for spot repair work. Its high precision and ease of use make it especially popular among paint shops. Additionally, the Flex ORE series offers powerful orbital sanders for larger surfaces, known for their durability and efficiency.

Mirka Sanders

Mirka, renowned for its innovative sanding solutions, offers a variety of sanders perfectly suited for dry sanding. Particularly popular are Mirka’s electric orbital sanders, which excel in precision. Models like the Mirka DEROS set industry standards.
