Mirka Iridium 3" x 5" Grip Vacuum File Board, 24-35M Series
Product Overview
Mirka Iridium 3.2" × 5.3" Perforated Grip 54‑Hole Sanding Strips (24‑35M Series) are premium high‑performance sanding strips engineered for fast cutting, long life, and exceptional dust extraction. Although commonly referred to as “3" × 5" strips,” the true size is 3.2" × 5.3" (80 × 133 mm), the standard format used by major brands.
These Iridium strips are perfectly suited for the Mirka DEOS 353X Electric Sander, Mirka MR‑35SGV Pneumatic Sander, and other popular machines including the Festool RTS 400 / RTS 400 REQ and RUPES BigFoot iBrid Mini HSE73.
Iridium uses a premium ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for fast, efficient cutting, providing an aggressive initial cut and maintaining sharpness throughout the sanding process. A dust‑repellent precision coating reduces clogging and pilling, keeping the abrasive cutting clean longer and improving finish consistency.
The advanced low VOC resin system enhances grain adhesion, while the flexible latex C‑paper backing provides excellent durability and control. The optimized 54‑hole pattern maximizes dust extraction, creating a cleaner work environment and extending abrasive life.

SMSDistributors.com Expert Notes
Mirka Iridium 3.2" × 5.3" Strips are ideal for technicians who need precision sanding on narrow surfaces, profiles, edges, and detailed areas. The ceramic/aluminum oxide blend provides a noticeably more aggressive initial cut compared to standard aluminum oxide strips, making Iridium perfect for spot repair, leveling filler, paint removal, and intermediate sanding.
The dust‑repellent precision coating keeps the abrasive cutting clean longer, especially on primers, paints, and composite materials. Combined with the optimized 54‑hole pattern, Iridium strips offer excellent dust extraction performance for compact rectangular sanders.
Iridium’s flexible latex C‑paper backing maintains strong grain adhesion even under heavy use, and the strips perform exceptionally well on both soft and hard surfaces. For shops looking to reduce sanding steps, improve consistency, and increase abrasive life, Iridium is one of Mirka’s most advanced sanding strip families.
