Abstract
An article comprised of a material that can be wetted by electrolyte solutions contains indicator substances sensitive to acid, caustic and or salt solutes that are present in said electrolyte solutions: said articles are employed as whole or partial encapsulation for devices, especially electrochemical cells, and thereby provide an enhanced alerting function for electrolyte leaks and spills.
