Type of leather dye

Leather can be dyed using a variety of methods, depending on the type of leather and the desired outcome. Here are a few common methods:

1. Aniline Dyeing: This method involves using a liquid dye that is applied to the surface of the leather. This method is commonly used for leathers that are not treated with a surface coating, such as full-grain leather.

2. Pigment Dyeing: This method involves using a paste or powder dye that is mixed with water or a binder and applied to the surface of the leather. This method is commonly used for leathers that have a surface coating, such as corrected-grain leather.

3. Painted Dyeing: This method involves using paint or a similar coating to dye the leather. The paint is applied to the surface of the leather and allowed to dry.

4. Immersion Dyeing: This method involves immersing the leather in a dye bath and exposing it to heat. This method is commonly used for large pieces of leather, such as hides.

5. Spray Dyeing: This method involves using an atomizer or spray gun to apply dye to the leather. This method is commonly used for small pieces of leather, such as footwear.

It is important to note that before dyeing the leather, it must be clean, free of grease and fat and the pores of the leather should be open. Also, it's important to use appropriate dyes and test them on a small piece of the leather before applying on the whole leather piece.
