What is pigmented leather?

Pigmented leather (also known as corrected grain leather) consists of leather on the surface of which a covering finish of fine spray of pigments has been applied. The result is a leather with a more tenacious and compact coating. This hides natural marks to the advantage of greater uniformity, excellent resistance to light, liquids, stains and scratches, and ease of cleaning and maintenance, but let's look at the advantages of pigmented leather in detail. 

What are the advantages of pigmented leather?

One of the main advantages of pigmented leather is its resilience: the surface coverage makes these leathers more resistant to stains and wear, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. This characteristic makes it ideal for many applications, both in the residential and commercial sector.

Stain resistance and ease of cleaning: thanks to its covering surface, pigmented leather is particularly resistant to stains. It is easy to clean and maintain, making it an excellent choice for furnishings that face daily wear and tear, such as sofas, armchairs and car seats.

Durability: scratch and wear resistance is another strength of pigmented leather. This makes it perfect for high-traffic areas and for objects that must last over time without losing their beauty.

What are the characteristics of pigmented leather?

The macro-features to identify this type of leather include:
- opaque color with good defect shielding: the opaque finish masks the natural imperfections of the leather, providing a uniform, high quality appearance;
- excellent lightfastness: retains its color and beauty even when exposed to direct sunlight;
- easy maintenance: the smooth and compact surface makes cleaning quick and easy.
