English term or phrase: zero free formaldehyde
phrase in a newsletter of a company that produces tanning and retanning agents for the leather industry:

.....our new retanning agent, giving very tight leathers with the advantage of being bio-based and having zero free formaldehyde!

Free formaldéhyde = exempt de formaldéhyde. I am looking for a French translation of 'zero' in this expression.
