TECHNICAL AUXILIARIES
hese decorative finishes ancillaries are designed to be mixed with decorative plaster materials to help artisans overcome specific challenges on the job site, such as extreme weather conditions or large surface areas. They improve the workability and performance of the plaster.
Densifier for lime
DESCRIPTION
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.

Cleaner for venetian plasters
DESCRIPTION
It is designed to remove ordinary dirt, as well as dirt found above radiators or fireplaces. When you wash a wall finished with Venetian Stucco there is the risk that the dirt on the surface penetrates in the stucco together with the water you use to clean it, making it irreparably dirty. Our cleaner keeps the dirt into its foam, preventing it from penetrating.

Thixo additive
DESCRIPTION
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ on Stucco Italiano’s Stucco Additives
Why are so many stucco additives needed?
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.
I read that your stucco additives partecipate in the Stucco Italiano philosophy. What does it mean?
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.
