Official basis (Method): ASTM F1929-23 covers specified edge seals between transparent and porous materials. It is a qualitative integrity test; dye wicking and test conditions can affect interpretation.
Procurement note: Select the applicable F1929 application variant and current formulation. An SDS documents one supplier example only; no mandatory surfactant brand or current local availability is asserted.
