Colour migration
Occasionally dyes penetrate from behind the leather through to the front. These are typically pen markings done on the back of leather to cut them in the right place. The ink goes through the leather and becomes visible on the pigmentation. This can lead to considerable damage.
A red spot on the back of the leather moved through the leather and became visible on furniture leather.
There was a case of a yacht fitted with leather panels over several floors on the floor, the walls and the ceiling. After some time, the dyes of the back markers migrated through the leather. It was a total loss, and the leather had to be completely redone. Leather should only be marked with chalks or silver leather marking pens to avoid such problems.
Colour migration by on the back of leather laminated material
In this case, dark spots were discovered on the white leather of a motorcycle leather suit. A black fabric was glued at the back side of the visible stains. The discolouration was only in areas where the fabric was glued to the leather. Other areas of contact with the fabric were not discoloured, nor areas where other adhesives were used.
Nearly identical cases in car leather leads to the assumption that under unfavourable conditions (laminated fabrics with thermo-active adhesives, fabrics with not completely fixed dyes, possibly moisture of the leather) may lead to a migration of dyes on the visible side of the leather.
Migration of dyes from the back lining of a dark fabric.
In the central region, where the substance is not glued, there is no discolouration.
Colour migration in non-adhered materials on the back
It also happens that strong-marking materials on the back causes stains on the surface by colour migration. Moisture promotes this process. The dye travels through the leather.
Clearly visible stains where the fabric touches the back. Where the leather is folded, the staining stops.
Adhesive migration – Glue migration
It also happens that on the backside used adhesive migrates through the leather. Then one speaks of adhesive migration.
Adhesive migration at a leather jacket. - Glue migration at chairs.
More problematic cases of leather colorations
- The transmigration of adhesives from the back of the leather on the front
- Dye transfer from leather
- Colour separation of leather
- Typical damage to PU leather in the furniture area
- Flamingo effect: Reddish discolouration with light furniture leather in hidden areas
- Bronzing: Metallic glimmer on new leather
Additional information
- Natural markings on leather (Scars, skin diseases, brand marks etc.)
- Leather damages (Aging, fading, stains etc.)
- Leather defects (Errors in the leather production)
