White Tinting Paste No. 1 XUW
A professional Italian-made tinting paste from the XUW (eXtended Ultra White) series, designed for precise tone adjustment, lightening, and pastel creation in water-based decorative paints and plasters. Unlike ordinary white bases, this high-performance concentrate enhances luminosity, opacity, and chromatic balance while preserving the tactile and breathable qualities of premium finishes.
Perfect for refining hues in systems like Kraski Breez “Atlas Imperial,” “Suede,” “Pearly Coke,” microcements, and structural plasters, it enables artisans and designers to achieve soft neutrals, airy pastels, and sophisticated off-whites with exceptional consistency and control.
Suitable for both interior and exterior applications when used in compatible weather-resistant bases, and safe for children’s rooms when mixed into certified eco-friendly formulations.
