Leather finishing process
After the leather production process, the leather is treated with coatings and upgrading solutions to change, improve, or develop its appearance or characteristics. This process is called leather finishing. The first step is to apply upgrading solutions that cover grain defects, using stucco. Next, the basecoat – which forms the base for the leather design – is applied. Finally, the leathers are finished with a topcoat to support the manufacturer’s visual and physical specifications. The final coloring is also applied to the topcoat, which levels the color of the leather. With specific topcoats, you can also create matt or gloss surfaces.
