The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in 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.
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.
How to calculate the specific gravity of a petroleum product involves using the ratio of the specific product density to that of water. This type of calculation is always determined at 60-degrees Fahrenheit.
S.G. of water = 1.0 Floating, S.G. < 1.0, Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.

If the specific gravity is greater than one it will sink.

less then 1
Anything with overall specific gravity greater than 1.0 sinks in water.
