PIgmented leather
WHAT IS PIGMENTED LEATHER?
In an article by Crest Leather it explained that pigmented leather undergoes a process where it receives a thicker, coloured coating that covers the natural grain and texture of the leather. A textured pattern is then applied afterwards, enhancing its uniformity and colour consistency. Not only does this enhance its aesthetic appeal but it also allows pigmented leather to be more resistant to stains, fading, and easier to maintain.
Pigmented leather offers a more cost-effective solution compared to the other finishes, and it is an excellent option for those seeking enhanced durability or a more consistent appearance in their leather products.
WHAT MAKES PIGMENTED SO VERSATILE?
Pigmented leather is an incredibly versatile finish due to the following factors:
- COLOUR OPTIONS: Pigmented leather can be dyed in any colour, this allows a wide range of aesthetic choices to match a projects design styles and personal preferences.
- CONSISTENCY: The pigmented finish provides a consistent colour and texture across the leather surface, this eliminates the natural blemishes or variations that are present in aniline and semi-aniline leathers.
- DURABILITY: Pigmented leather finishes are typically more durable and resistant to wear, tear, and staining compared to other finishes, making pigmented leather suitable for high-traffic areas and environments where spills or accidents are likely to occur.
- EASE OF MAINTENANCE: Due to the protective coating on pigmented leather, it’s easier to clean and maintain than other types of leather. Stains and spills can often be wiped away with a damp cloth, making it a practical choice for households with children or pets.
WHERE CAN PIGMENTED BE USED?
Pigmented leather is extremely versatile and can be used for everything from furniture to automotive, and is particularly suitable in high traffic commercial venues or public spaces due to its protective nature.
