A unique feature of Stucco Italiano is its great range of decorative finishes ancillaries, associated with its offer of main materials. Some of these additives are developed to solve the challenges that artisans commonly encounter in the work-site, and to facilitate the application of the decorative plasters or paints.
Other decorative finishes complements are conceived to add special effects to Venetian plaster, decorative plasters and paints, or to provide them with the best protection.

Our densifier is a special resin that, once mixed with an alkaline mixture, makes it denser and more viscous. It is used when the lime-based plaster is too liquid, for example when a big quantity of liquid pigment is added to the material. It can also be used when the plaster must be applied in great thickness, to prevent it too fall from the wall during the application. Note that if the suggested percentage is exceeded the material will go back to its liquid form.

This additive is ideal for creating decorative finishes such as Lava Craters, Marmorino Hammered, or other three-dimensional effects with lime plasters. It enhances the thixotropic properties of the plaster, meaning it becomes thicker and more stable when at rest while remaining fluid and workable under agitation. The additive ensures the plaster holds its shape once applied, making it perfect for achieving intricate effects that would be impossible with a more fluid material.

We designed our Stucco & Marmorino additives to facilitate the application or to help the applicator to apply our plasters in extreme conditions. For example, in excessive heat, very large walls, crumbly or very smooth substrates such as marble or tiles. Furthermore, other additives for Venetian plaster and Italian stuccos are useful to cope with particular requests from the end client, when the material needs to be modified to make it brighter, phosphorescent, or with colored dots.
Stucco Italiano is a system designed primarily for the craftsman. Therefore, our Stucco additives are used to give space to the creativity and imagination of our primary customers. The majority of these are decorative additives for Venetian plaster or other Italian stuccos.
