BYCAST LEATHERS - (B): also called - COATED LEATHER.

This is a new development in using split leather. It is produced from the lower split by first melting a type of glue on the surface, then rolling on a film of coloured polyurethane.
It normally is produced in darker colours and when stretched it lightens. It also scratches quite easily. This type of leather is now coming on to the furniture market but has been used for handbags and belts for some time.
This product varies in quality. We recomend that any ByCast leather used is independently tested to minimum British Standards.
It is also important that the temperature of room that the ByCast leather is kept remains below 30°C.
As the top surface has a high polyurethane finish normal leather creams should NOT be used. Leather Master, have developed a Soft Life Cleaning and Care Kit especially for Bycast leather. The price is the same as the Maxi Kit.
