If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water. [SSD1, M4 exam]
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
Any substance with a density less than water will float in it. Anything with a specific gravity less than 1 will float.
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
If the specific gravity is less than 1, the product will float in water ... unless it dissolves in water or reacts with water, which information might be elsewhere in the SDS.
If the specific gravity is greater than one it will sink.

specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of the sample/the density of water. So the specific gravity of water is 1. Anything more dense than water will have a specific gravity above 1 and will sink. Anything less dense than water will have a specific gravity below 1 and will float.
less then 1
No. It exceeds the density of water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
