TW Graphics UV Standard Colors – NXG-22 Tinting White Gallon | UV Mixing White for Custom Color Formulations

TW Graphics

TW Graphics NXG-22 Tinting White is a UV-curable mixing white designed for lightening custom ink formulations within the NXG UV ink system. This tinting white is engineered to adjust color strength, reduce pigment load, and create pastel or lighter shade variations while maintaining smooth screen printing performance and reliable UV curing.

NXG-22 is ideal for commercial sign shops that need precise color control when producing custom Pantone matches for signage, plastics, vinyl, and coated board.

Description

What Is NXG-22 Tinting White Used For?

TW Graphics NXG-22 Tinting White is a professional UV mixing white used to modify color strength and produce lighter shades within the NXG UV ink system. It is not designed primarily as a standalone opaque white, but as a formulation component for custom color builds.

This tinting white is used when:

  • Lightening custom Pantone colors
  • Creating pastel shades
  • Adjusting pigment strength
  • Reducing color intensity
  • Producing extended gamut UV formulations

NXG-22 allows printers to fine-tune color density while maintaining consistent ink viscosity and cure performance.

Designed for Sign Shops & Production Screen Printers:

Part of the TW Graphics NXG UV ink system, NXG-22 is engineered for stable viscosity and predictable blending performance. It integrates seamlessly with NXG standard colors and single pigment mixing colors.

This product is commonly used as a:

  • UV tinting white ink
  • UV mixing white screen printing ink
  • UV white base for color matching
  • UV color formulation modifier
  • Custom Pantone mixing white

Where It Performs Best:

When blended into finished colors, NXG-22 performs well on:

  • Treated polyethylene (PE)
  • High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polystyrene / Styrene
  • Pressure-sensitive vinyl
  • Static cling vinyl
  • Reinforced vinyl banners
  • Coated paper and board stocks
  • Corrugated plastic (Coroplast™)

For polyethylene substrates, surface tension should be 42–46 dynes/cm or higher. Always perform adhesion testing before full production runs.

How It Cures:

This is a true UV-curable ink. It does not air dry.

NXG-22 cures under focused medium-pressure mercury vapor UV lamps in the 250–360nm spectral range.

Typical UV energy requirements:

  • 150–300 mJ/cm² at 365nm (depending on film thickness and formulation)

Always verify cure after final color formulation and full cooldown.

Pantone Equivalent:

  • Pantone Equivalent – N/A (White)
  • Color Type – Tinting white / mixing white
  • Intended Use – Lightening and modifying custom color builds

Why Screen Printers Choose NXG-22 Tinting White:

  • Designed for color control – Ideal for custom Pantone matching
  • Smooth blending – Maintains consistent viscosity in formulations
  • Stable UV cure performance – Reliable across production runs
  • Broad substrate compatibility – Vinyl, plastics, Coroplast, coated board
  • Fully compatible with NXG UV system – Integrates with standard and mixing colors

NXG-22 Tinting White is essential for commercial sign shops that require precise color adjustments and repeatable custom color formulations.


Nazdar® Cross-Reference – Comparable UV Mixing White:

Looking for a Nazdar UV tinting white alternative?

TW Graphics NXG-22 Tinting White functions similarly to UV mixing whites used in Nazdar UV ink systems. Both are UV-curable whites intended for color formulation and tonal adjustment rather than maximum opacity coverage.

As with any ink substitution, adhesion and cure testing should be completed prior to full production runs.

  • Processing Time – Please allow additional time for handling and shipment
  • Final Sale – Non-returnable and non-refundable

Technical Specifications

TW Graphics NXG UV Standard Colors – Technical Specs & Usage Guide

Technical Specifications:

  • Ink Type: UV Curable Screen Printing Ink
  • Viscosity: Optimized for multi-color in-line presses
  • Curing Method: UV light exposure
  • Curing Energy Requirement: 150-300 mJ/cm²
  • Adhesion: Bonds to treated plastics, vinyl, and various rigid substrates
  • Durability: Up to 2 years light-fastness with automotive-grade pigments
  • Resistance: Water-resistant and highly durable for indoor & outdoor applications
  • Finish: Satin/Gloss (varies by substrate and curing conditions)
  • Printability: Low pile height rheology for smooth ink laydown
  • Thinner/Additives: NXG Series Reducer (use sparingly)

How to Use TW Graphics NXG UV Standard Colors

Step 1: Screen Preparation

  • Use a properly tensioned screen for optimal results.
  • Recommended mesh count230-355 tpi (90-140 tpcm), depending on image detail.
  • Coat the screen with a UV-compatible emulsion, ensuring full stencil adhesion.

Step 2: Ink Application

  • Stir the ink thoroughly before use.
  • Print using a 70-80 durometer squeegee with a sharp edge for crisp details.
  • Use a medium squeegee pressure for optimal ink deposition.

Step 3: Curing Process

  • Cure under UV light exposure at 150-300 mJ/cm² for full adhesion.
  • Ensure proper exposure time in the dryer to avoid under-curing.
  • Avoid excessive UV exposure, which can overcure and affect adhesion properties.

Step 4: Testing & Post-Curing Considerations

  • Always perform an adhesion test on a sample print to verify cure levels.
  • Allow the print to cool before stacking or packaging.
  • NXG inks are designed for optimal adhesion, but post-treatment options (such as flame or corona treatment) may be required for certain non-porous substrates.

Recommended Printing Substrates:

✅ Plastics & Synthetics: Treated Polyethylene, HDPE, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene (Styrene), Static Cling Vinyl
✅ Rigid Boards & Papers: Coated Board Stocks, Cardstock, Pressure-Sensitive Vinyl
✅ Banners & Signage: Reinforced Vinyl Banners, Coroplast™, Transit & Point-of-Purchase Displays

⚠ Important Notes:

  • This ink requires UV curing and will not air-dry.
  • Do not mix with solvent-based inks or non-UV-compatible additives.
  • Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

TW Graphics NXG UV Standard Colors deliver fast-curing, high-adhesion, and long-lasting performance, making them the perfect choice for screen printers working with plastic, vinyl, banners, and signage applications.
