Powder-Free DTF Innovation Validated for Chemical Safety and Environmental Responsibility in Textile Production
WILMINGTON | Delaware – April 2026 – DuPont™ Artistri® today announced that its Jettable Adhesive — the world’s first powder-free adhesive solution for Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing — has received OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification and has been approved on the ZDHC Gateway, confirming the product meets the most rigorous chemical safety standards in the global textile industry.
The certifications validate what guided the Jettable Adhesive’s development from day one: a non-hazardous formulation designed to deliver exceptional DTF print performance while supporting safer, cleaner, and more responsible apparel decoration workflows.
A Milestone for Powder-Free DTF
Traditional powder-based DTF adhesives can present challenges for print service providers — from inconsistent curing and dust accumulation to health and safety considerations on the production floor. The Artistri® Jettable Adhesive was developed to address these concerns, offering a jettable, non-hazardous alternative that helps streamline workflow and improve consistency.
Achieving OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification and ZDHC Gateway approval confirms that the Jettable Adhesive:
- Meets strict chemical safety requirements for textile production
- Is fully aligned with ZDHC MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List) requirements
- Is formulated without hazardous substances harmful to workers or the environment
- Supports OEMs, print service providers, and apparel decorators in meeting global sustainability standards
What the Certification Means for the Industry
The OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is one of the most respected independent certifications in the textile chemicals space, providing brands, manufacturers, and buyers with verified assurance that a product’s chemistry is safe for use in textile production. ZDHC Gateway approval further signals alignment with the industry’s leading framework for responsible chemical management.
Together, these recognitions position the Artistri® Jettable Adhesive as a benchmark product for DTF operations seeking to advance both print quality and environmental stewardship.
