Zusammenfassung:A method for preventing osmotic blistering in spirally-wound elements of semipermeable membrane sheet material in locations otherwise subject thereto is disclosed, wherein the method comprises the step of: applying a sealant to the upstream surface of the membrane sheet material in locations where the downstream surface thereof has been so treated that flow there-through is prevented, which sealant prevents liquid from permeating into the membrane in such regions and potentially resulting in osmotic blistering.
