Shizen
The Japanese word "Shizen" (pronounced she-zen) means
natural beauty. It is a perfect word to describe this unique
line of Eco Friendly, decorative textures, imported from Japan
by Modern Masters Inc. Each product has been given a Japanese
name which best describes the decorative aspect or the natural
component that helps create the beauty of the finish. These unique
plasters have amazing stories and are encrusted with sea shells,
natural soils, cork, bamboo, and grasses—perfect for
the modern looking textures being requested by customers
The Shizen
line includes:
KAI™ (pronounced k?) means seashell. Combing the texture
of natural soil, sand, stone and sea shells with an extremely
low VOC containing acrylic solution, Shizen-Kai provides a
natural pearl-like glittering texture finish with outstanding
hardness and a strong resistance to mold and mildew.
KORUKU™ (pronounced
co-roo-koo) means "cork" from
a cork tree. Shizen-Koruku is a trowel applied architectural,
interior decorative texture, which combines natural, sustainable
cork aggregate, recycled and processed rice straw with an
extremely low VOC containing acrylic gel. The Koruku mixture
is trowel applied over a scratch coat of Koruku Zero VOC
Undercoat to create a soft cushion finish that is both warm
and natural in its design. The functional elements of the
Koruku finish, provides a healthy, comfortable and serene
environment.
KYOTO™ (pronounced
key-oh-toe) means "capitol city" as
it was once the Imperial Capitol of Japan dating from 794
to 1868 when the government was transferred to Edo. Although
ravaged by wars, fires, and earthquakes during its eleven
centuries as the imperial capitol, Kyoto was spared from
the firebombing of World War II. With its 2000 Buddhist temples
and Shinto shrines, as well as palaces, gardens and architecture
intact, it is one of the best preserved cities in Japan.
Shizen-Kyoto is a traditional style texture finish that can
be found throughout the city. This product incorporates interlocking
fibers, soil and diatomaceous earth with modern low VOC acrylic
technology.
PATAAN™ (pronounced
pa-tan) means "pattern" and
is a critical element in Japanese design. Japan is a palette
of visual pattern and texture. From the meticulously raked
zen garden; to architecture; to the palette of food; the
Japanese approach to design has historically been linear
and asymmetrical, with texture and elements deeply emphasized
creating a visual display of depth and variety. Shizen-Pataan
applies easily, quickly and holds sharp clean lines of pattern
with outstanding hardness.
Bellezza
The Italian word for beauty, “Bellezza” is a unique
line of Eco Friendly decorative textures imported from Italy.
These all natural, non synthetic plasters have been used for
centuries in Europe and are hailed by architects because of their
structural soundness and beauty. The Bellezza series is made
up of specialty primer/basecoats, plasters of different sized
aggregates, lime paints, wax and colorants. The Bellezza series
Product line contains low or no VOC’s (Volatile Organic
Compounds).

Platinum Series Zero VOC Basecoat
Zero VOC Basecoat is not only an all in one bonding primer
and basecoat but is also the foundation for all glazes and
textures. Glazing over the Zero VOC Basecoat allows for premium
open time with Platinum Series Wall Glazing and the Furniture & Cabinetry
Glazing Cream. This allows the glaze to strap down to a tough
and durable base. All textures in the Platinum, Shizen, and Bellezza
Series work well extremely well over the Zero VOC Basecoat. When
textures dry, the co-solvents in the materials grab hold of the
durable basecoat. Because of the great bonding capabilities
of the basecoat it enables all textures to be incredibly secure.
As a bonding primer it adheres to many surfaces such as previously
painted and clear coated finishes, tile, stone, brick, cement,
glass, plastics, formica, melamine and more but should always
be tested for assurance. For more information,
contact your Platinum Training Center.
