NuCoat is featured in Apparelist’s Essential DTF Safety Guide. NuCoat Chief Technology Officer Hemant Bohra was interviewed throughout “The Essential DTF Safety Guide: Ventilation, Compliance, and Best Practices for Every Shop” (Apparelist, June 2026, by Cassie Green) — a complete look at how direct-to-film (DTF) shops can identify printing hazards, improve workplace safety, avoid compliance pitfalls, and protect their employees, customers, and business.
“The CPSC e-filing requirement that takes effect July 8, 2026, is going to surface every compliance gap in the industry. If your printed garment uses ink, film, or powder that hasn’t been tested as a compliant composite, you’re shipping a non-compliant product even if transferring onto a compliant garment.”
— Hemant Bohra, Chief Technology Officer, NuCoat Inc.
The guide covers proper ventilation and the OSHA hierarchy of controls; Safety Data Sheets and the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200); the four DTF hazard categories (chemical, indoor air quality, thermal, and ergonomic); the CPSC eFiling mandate taking effect July 8, 2026; sourcing from a truly compliant supplier; and a full DTF safety best-practices checklist from PRINTING United Alliance.
