This document summarizes types of leather finishing processes. It discusses aniline finishing, which uses water-soluble dyes and is best for high quality leather with few blemishes. Semi-aniline finishing leaves the grain partially exposed with a thin protective layer. Pigmented finishing fully coats the leather with resin-based pigment to produce a uniform color and hide defects. Each type is suited to different applications - aniline is for soft items, semi-aniline for quality without maintenance, and pigmented is durable for everyday use and withstanding wear.

4. • Why we do finishing.
The purpose of finish is done in order to enhance certain qualities

5. • Types Of Finishing.
The most common categories of leather finishes are…
• Aniline
• Semi-Aniline
• Pigmented
Aniline Finish : Only the highest quality Full Grain Leather can receive an
Aniline Finish. This is because the grain remains exposed,
And must have as few blemishes as possible.
Aniline finishing involves using aniline dyes, which are water
Soluble pigments.
7. Semi-Aniline Finish:
Semi-Aniline leather leaves the grain exposed,But has a thin
protective/corrective layer.
Semi- Aniline finishes are applied to full grain leathers,with only a
small amount of pigment being used .
Semi-Aniline leather is a good fit for those who want high quality
Leather without the frequent maintenance.
9. Pigmented Full Grain Leather:
While this type of leather finish requires a heavier layer of material
To mask details than Semi-Aniline finishes, it is still made of high-
quality Full Grain Leather. A resin- based pigment is applied to hide
defects, but it still maintain the look and feel of a quality product.
This finish does not leave the pores visible, and hides the natural
colour variations in the leather. The colour and surface are uniform
And evenly coated with pigment, giving it great light fastness and stain
Resistance.
11. • Which type of leather article are finished by which type of
finishing process.
Aniline Finish
• Aniline finished leather are very soft,most pilable finishes, it is well suited
for application.
• This makes it great for clothing, shoes, and small accessories like belts and
wallets.
12. Semi Aniline Finish:
• Semi-Aniline leather is perfect for those who want high-
quality leather without the maintenance.
• It is suitable for most applications, including larger items
like handbags and upholstery.
13. Pigmented Full Grain Leather:
• This is one of the most common high quality leather finishes. It’s preferable
for most people because it requires little maintenance and is more durable
than the non pigmented leathers.
• It is not as soft as the aniline leathers, but its stiffness and thicker topcoat
allow it to hold up to rougher use without as much upkeep.
• This sturdiness makes it ideal for everyday accessories and those that
experience frequent year.
