With decades of experience and a strong commitment to product development, Mirka has become a pioneering specialist in flexible abrasives and revolutionary, patented products allowing customers to enjoy a truly dust-free surface finishing process.

VT LeeBoy also opted to install a central vacuum system connected to Mirka hoses. As a result of these changes, the manufacturer immediately noticed cost and labor savings, as well as environmental and quality improvements, including:

®

Ed Sikes, District Sales Manager at Mirka Abrasives, was demonstrating how the dust-free sanding system saves money and improves work quality at a Sherwin-Williams facility event when he struck up a conversation with Sherwin-Williams General Industrial Coatings Sales Manager Josh Reep. Josh had recently met with VT LeeBoy about the manufacturer’s initiative to improve environmental conditions and increase efficiencies in its plant. Josh knew the sanding equipment could be just what his customer was looking for.

LESS WASTE The lifespan of the abrasive has been extended because it, and the sanding surface, are constantly kept dust-free.

INCREASED SPEED Thanks to the hook and loop backing on the sanding discs, they can be removed and reused as needed. This reduces waste and decreases the number of times new abrasives must be collected.

No dust also guarantees an easier and quicker cleaning process.

IMPROVED PLANT ENVIRONMENT Cleaner air means better working conditions. Without the dust, VT LeeBoy operators no longer need to wear respirators or dusk masks while sanding.

Josh asked Ed to repeat the presentation at VT LeeBoy, a manufacturer of commercial asphalt paving equipment, including pavers, graders, distributors and brooms. The hands-on, side-by-side comparison of the manufacturer’s standard sanding equipment and the Mirka dust-free system impressed the VT LeeBoy finishers. While the standard sanding equipment was enveloped in a cloud of dust as the demonstration progressed, the Mirka system had none.

The demonstration led VT LeeBoy to replace its standard sanding tools with: Mirka PROS 650SGV Self Generating Vacuum Sander and Mirka PROS 650CV Vacuum Sander are 6” diameter with 5mm orbit.

They are specially developed to produce maximum dust extraction – even at low suction power – thanks to a wider dust suction outlet in the machine housing which substantially improves dust suction efficiency.

THE PERFECT SURFACE With an efficient dust-free sanding system, there is no danger of sanded dust building up and creating grooves on the sanding surface, or filling up the disc and reducing its sanding capacity.

Mirka MR-6SGV Self Generating Vacuum Sander is 6” diameter with 5mm orbit. It is constructed of precision molded composites for strength and durability, while decreasing operator fatigue and reducing sound for increased comfort.

By providing a dust-free and level sanding surface, the abrasive maintains its aggressive cutting properties while improving the quality of work. For example, operators can always see what is being sanded, gaining excellent control over the work area to avoid over-sanding.

■

■

■ Mirka Multi-Hole Gold Sanding Discs with a convenient hook and loop backing and durable aluminum oxide grain deliver a fast, exceptionally long lasting cut.

In fact, since the new equipment has been in use, VT LeeBoy has significantly reduced sanding defects.

“The new dustless set-up allows for a much cleaner environment and my guys no longer have to wear dust masks. Plus, the new Mirka sanders fit much better in the palm of your hand verses our previous sanders and allows for a much easier application.”

Gary Beaver, Paint Department Manager VT LeeBoy

AQUAGUARD

®

SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY. ENDURING PERFORMANCE.

AQUAGUARD ADVANTAGES ■ Low-VOC formulation: Up to a 94 percent reduction in VOCs compared to alternative solvent and zinc liquid formulations.

Corrosion resistance: Corrosion reduction of up to 60 percent in salt spray and cyclic testing, providing better corrosion results than e-coat, zinc formulations and similar performance to galvanized products.

■

Long-term performance: Reduces the spread and depth of corrosion in damaged areas when compared to zinc formulations.

■

Extensive approvals: Passes most stringent approvals and specifications in many demanding markets.

■

Sustainability: Zinc-free coatings improve air quality and working conditions at manufacturing sites and surrounding areas.

■

Great technology and great products. With the recently announced acquisition of Valspar, customers of Sherwin-Williams now have access to more of both. A highlight of this great combination is Valspar Aquaguard . ®

Extreme environments are tough on equipment. Whether your products are used over the road, on a job site or crossing oceans, they need extreme protection. Aquaguard coatings deliver best-in-class, zinc-free corrosion protection for metal substrates used in these demanding environments. That means equipment stays in service longer, looks better and needs fewer corrosion-related repairs.

Customers benefit from the protection and longevity Aquaguard provides to their assets. Applicators benefit from low solvent levels, which reduce VOCs and provide gains in efficiency with single or two-coat applications when compared to a typical three-coat zinc based system. Aquaguard also cures at a lower temperature, which can reduce energy costs and cure times.

Confirm Your Surface is Clean Check for a waterbreak-free wet surface on multiple stage washers. On larger parts where manual cleaning is used, fill a squirt bottle with water and spray the surface that is to be painted. If water beads, cleaning has to be done again. Wipe the surface dry immediately to prevent rusting.
