Magna has a line that uses NFS instead of ZFS. It is slightly duller than the regular discharge.
Your other option is HSA.

Noortrd- where are you again? Outside the US if I remember right. If that is so, you have a handful of choices. Pretty sure they ask use NFS like Pierre said.

Contact MagnaColours directly for sales into your region.  http://www.magnacolours.com/.  Just recently released their newest MagnaMix software with formulas in High Solids, Discharge, and Soft Bases.

They have a global patent on the Non-Formaldehyde Discharge product (the base material / not the activator).  You do need the correct base and activator. 

MagnaPrint ULF series - Base, Blending White, Super White.  Plus ECO pigments.  Plus Activator M.

EDIT - Make certain you communicate with their compliance department for your specific needs.  Fluorescent pigments for instance contain small amounts of formaldehyde, and may or may not meet the requirements for INFANT wear printing.  Child, yes, but perhaps not infant.  Whoever yo speak with, get documentation for your needs.  Ultimately, it is up to you as the printer to ensure your garments and embellishments meet your customer and/or government standards and RSL's.

That's a great question.  I've read anywhere from some to none.  My guess is it depends on the curing but then again I believe most textiles have formaldehyde in them as a "preservative" so that also needs to be addressed.  Post laundering would probably solve the issue.

From Nike;s published RSL October 2014:

Nike limits are more stringent than legislated limits. Nike requires ALL materials to be <75ppm for Little Kids, Big Kids
and Adults.

Limits (exc footwear)
Infant/Toddler - 16mg/kg
Kids/Adults - 75mg/kg

In case you are not aware, formaldehyde is naturally occurring in some foods - check this out - http://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_fa/files/formaldehyde.pdf

An apple can have up to 22mg/kg.  Pears up to 60...

That's why I always roll my eyes when people talk about getting formaldehyde poisoning from using discharge ink (common on another forum...) when really they have a sensitivity to zinc and their skin is reacting as a result.
