Speed and durability are equally important to the end result when working in high-production sanding applications.  Garuda, developed by Kovax, represents the next generation of production sanding technology engineered specifically for applications that demand aggressive cutting power and long-lasting abrasives to deliver consistent performance.

Designed for filler sanding, metal sanding, and paint preparation, Garuda fills a critical role where conventional precision abrasives reach their limits.

What Makes Garuda Disc Unique?

Designed for Extreme Sanding Applications

Garuda discs are built for fast material removal while maintaining excellent surface control. They deliver strong, consistent performance in demanding sanding tasks such as

• Body filler sanding
• Bare metal sanding
• Paint preparation and surface levelling
• Body repair, sanding, and levelling

Powerful, Uniform, and Consistent Cutting

Garuda uses a well-engineered abrasive structure and a unique bonding method that create a precision abrasive product that will deliver strong cutting power to the end user during the entire sanding process.

The use of these elements results in:

• Extreme cutting ability from the beginning to the end of the sanding operation
• Consistent and uniform material removal
• Minimal micro scratching in the substrate

By using Garuda to remove material quickly while providing users with consistent scratches, the need to sand and refinish the material will be significantly reduced.

Self-Sharpening Grain Technology

Garuda sanding products have been developed to provide an extended period of sharpness compared to standard abrasives. The innovative multi-layered product design allows for self-sharpening of the abrasive while in use, therefore providing a longer life span.

This results in:

• Longer product life
• Reduced the number of disc changes
• Reduced overall costs for labour and material

Even under demanding sanding conditions, Garuda maintains consistent cutting performance.

Clog-Resistant and Highly Durable Design

Body and metal filler sanding products typically create problematic clogging issues, which shorten the life of the abrasive. Garuda has developed a patented anti-clog design that enables the product to continue to perform effectively on surfaces that are prone to clogging.

In addition, Garuda offers:

• Excellent resistance to fraying and tearing
• Significantly increased durability over traditional abrasives
• A stable performance rate when used under constant sanding pressure

This makes it especially suitable for production shops and collision repair environments.

Multi-Hole Pattern for Efficient Dust Extraction

Garuda’s last innovation is its multi-hole design, which has been engineered specifically to improve dust collection and sanding efficiency.

Increased air flow allows for:

• Reduction of surface loading
• Maintaining cutting performance
• Improve visibility and operator comfort

When paired with appropriately matched DA sanders and vacuums, the multi-hole feature provides a cleaner, more controlled sanding operation.

Wide Grit Range for Production Flexibility

Garuda is available in a range of grits, making it possible for professionals to carry out a variety of sanding tasks with a single abrasive product.

• 80, 120, 180 – Heavy stock removal and shaping
• 240, 320 – Intermediate sanding and surface levelling
• 400 – Fine preparation before coatings

The flexibility of these grits makes Garuda a good fit for every step of the entire body repair and paint preparation process.

Professional Sanding Suitability

Garuda discs feature a 6-inch super-tack hook-and-loop backing, designed for use with professional dual-action sanders. The secure attachment ensures stable pad contact with the surface, delivering smooth, controlled sanding performance even during extended use.

Where Garuda fits within the Kovax range of products

Kovax has a number of products aimed at finishing and refinishing surfaces with controlled polishing films, while Garuda is positioned as a high-performance sanding solution, providing the ability to remove material very quickly and aggressively. Together, these two types of products provide the user with a complete system for sanding from heavy prep work to final finish.

Garuda has been designed for professional users who want maximum performance from their sanding applications. It delivers the performance, strength, and durability required of professional sanding solutions.

The benefit of Garuda lies within its aggressive cutting ability and its ability to produce consistent results over extended use. Garuda provides professional sanding solutions with speed, efficiency, and performance under pressure and is built to outperform.
