Insights into our product range
What types of leather are there and for which applications are they suitable?
Automotive leather and upholstery leather come from the same basic material (cowhide), but their feel is fundamentally different.
Automotive leather, which is rather stiff, is particularly suitable for the production of shoes and dimensionally stable handicraft articles (e.g. stiff bags). In the automotive leather sector, a distinction is usually made between smooth nappa leathers, embossed and perforated leathers.
The average thickness is 1.1 - 1.3 mm, although thinner and thicker grades are also possible.
The average thickness is 1.1 - 1.3 mm, although thinner and thicker grades are also possible.
Upholstery leathers are generally soft and are particularly suitable for the manufacture of bags, purses, key rings, clothing and other products where a typical leather feel is desired.
In the furniture leather sector, leather grades are differentiated according to the dye penetration and the thickness of the dye application. Aniline leathers are open-pored smooth leathers without a color layer and therefore have a natural, warm feel. However, they are also very sensitive and have classic natural features such as scars and wrinkles.
Semianiline leathers have a thin color layer, but the natural pore pattern is still visible. As a result, they still have a warm feel, but are more robust than aniline leathers.
Pigmented leathers have a strong color layer and the pore pattern is usually not visible. This after-treatment makes these leathers very robust and durable.
The average thickness of leather is 1.1 - 1.3 mm, although thinner and especially thicker qualities of up to 5 mm thickness are also possible.
