Leather Colourant Kit

Description

The leather colourant kit is not just a standard dye but an actual process, which gives fine results every time. Developed by professionals in the leather manufacturing industry, our leather colourants are not the standard dyes, but water based finishes used to give a long lasting, durable and flexible finish. Non hazardous and non flammable our kit is easy and safe to use.

What makes our leather colourant kit the best? We use water based colourants, a traditional technology, which has been used in the manufacturing of leather for years. The end result looks like brand new leather, as you will be applying the product in the same way as the manufacturers. Once applied, your leather will look and feel like natural leather, it will not flake, fade or peel off.

How it works: First you remove the manufactured finish from the leather with the leather prep. This allows the colourants to adhere and penetrate the leather, giving a sound base covering. You then spray on a coloured coating for uniformity and to get a nice natural finish. The job is then sealed in with a professional leather finish. This finish protects and enhances the leather and stops it from wearing out.

Once applied, our colourants and finishes are so tough, you will find it difficult to even scuff or scratch the leather!

It is a permanent re-colouring system and so should last forever. Of course we know this is not possible as even the most expensive leather wears out eventually. As an average, expect to get at least 5 - 7 years from the leather with daily use. You can further prolong the life of the leather by regularly applying the leather protection cream.
