What OEKO-TEX® Certification Means for DTF Printing
OEKO-TEX® certification serves as an independent verification that textile products and their components have been tested for harmful substances. The standard evaluates every stage of production, from raw materials to final products, ensuring they meet human-ecological requirements.
For DTF ink specifically, this certification means the product has undergone rigorous testing for:
- Heavy metals and formaldehyde content
- Pesticide residues
- Chlorinated organic carriers
- Colorants that may cause allergic reactions
- pH values and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
The certification process involves comprehensive laboratory testing by OEKO-TEX® institutes, followed by ongoing surveillance to maintain compliance. This thorough approach ensures that certified DTF inks consistently meet safety standards throughout their production lifecycle.
