NFPA 1975 standards
« on: October 26, 2015, 04:14:56 PM »
Anybody know any inks that meet this requirement?  I would imagine that discharge inks do, but I can't find any literature on them.  The shirts are 60/40, so discharge might work.  I would just rather run plastisol.

Thanks!

I was told to meet NFPA 1975 that you need to do 100% cotton (or materials specially tested and marketed as fire proof)?

*that being said, we do discharge on 100% cotton that they provide... since we're just "redying" the fabric, we're fine.

the shirts are specialty garments that are fire retardant...they specifically state on the tags to only use embellishments that meet those standards.

Can your distributor help? Or maybe contact the NFPA directly?

I am checking with several right now.  Nazdar doesn't carry it, every company I have found online that has it listed no longer carries it either.

It's looking more and more like discharge

A new twist...the client says it's OK to print with a regular ink, per their client.  I found the additive, Rutland makes it.  I am using it anyway.  I am not messing around with a lawsuit if something should happen.
