Official basis (Method): Use a packaging specific standard and a validated detection claim. ASTM F1929 and F3039 have different porous versus nonporous scopes; see Section 21.
Procurement note: Porous edge seals, nonporous edge seals and nonporous flat sheets are different tests. Confirm the exact current standard before ordering the dye formulation.
Procurement links open the manufacturer's or distributor's page in a new tab. STAINIC does not sell these items; always buy products validated for diagnostic use and follow local regulations.
