13. Types of leather
 Aniline leather is the most natural looking leather with the unique surface
characteristics of the hide remaining visible. Aniline leather is colored only with dye
and not with a surface coating of polymer and pigment. A light surface coating may be
applied to enhance its appearance and offer slight protection against spillages and
soiling. Aniline leather
 Semi-aniline leather is more durable than aniline whilst still retaining a natural
appearance. The increased durability is provided by the application of a light surface
coating which contains a small amount of pigment. This ensures consistent color and
imparts some stain resistance.
 Pigmented Leather is the most durable and is used in the majority of furniture
upholstery and almost all car upholstery. The durability is provided by a polymer
surface coating which contains pigments. The surface coating allows the manufacturer
more control over the properties of the leather, e.g. resistance to scuffing or fading.
 The thickness of the surface coating can vary but if the mean thickness is more than
0.15mm then the product can't be sold as leather in the United Kingdom due to
consumer protection legislation.
