What this property does not say

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
Ammonia is not in the special labeling list. So we do not pretend it is.

We do not classify your product

Whether a lubricant or a sealant is a hazardous substance under the Act depends on its formulation and properties. That determination belongs to whoever formulated it.

Which matters because the table only applies if it is

An unregulated product carries no signal word and no statement of hazard, and the type size table has nothing to act on. The first question is always classification.

We do not convert the type sizes to points

The regulation specifies fractional inches as the actual height of a capital letter. Converting to points means choosing a rounding, and a rounding in the wrong direction is a compliance failure we would have caused.

Give the measurement to the designer as inches

Which is also how a printer will check it. The requirement is a measured cap height on the finished label, not a setting in a layout program.

We say nothing about ammonia

Tubeless sealants commonly contain it. 16 CFR 1500.14 lists the substances given specific label statements, and ammonia and ammonium hydroxide are not among them.

That absence is a finding, not an omission

The commonly cited list covers diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, benzene and related solvents, methanol, turpentine, charcoal, fireworks and art materials. Ammonia is not there.

Which does not mean ammonia is harmless

It is corrosive to aluminium, which is why sealant and rims have a relationship, and it is an irritant. Those are real and they are not this labeling provision.

We say nothing about chalk bans

Many climbing areas restrict loose chalk or require coloured chalk. Those are land manager rules, they vary site by site, and they are not federal regulation.

And nothing about what a bike shop must do

Workplace handling of solvents and lubricants is the shop consumables property, which covers the hazard communication side in detail.

What is left is the useful part

If your product is in scope, the panel you choose sets the smallest lawful warning. That is a container decision and it is the one we can speak to.

References

16 CFR 1500.14 lists the substances given specific label statements: diethylene glycol and mixtures of 10 percent or more; ethylene glycol and mixtures of 10 percent or more; products containing 5 percent or more by weight of benzene, toluene, xylene or petroleum distillates; methyl alcohol and mixtures of 4 percent or more; turpentine; and in later subsections charcoal, fireworks and art materials. Ammonia and ammonium hydroxide are not among them, so this property asserts no special labeling requirement for the ammonia commonly present in tubeless sealant. law.cornell.edu
16 CFR 1500.121, Table 1, minimum type size by area of the principal display panel, where type size is "the actual height of the printed image of each upper case or capital letter as it appears on the label". For the signal word: 3/64 inch for a panel of 0 to 2 square inches; 1/16 inch for over 2 to 5; 3/32 inch for over 5 to 10; 7/64 inch for over 10 to 15; 1/8 inch for over 15 to 30; and 5/32 inch for over 30. For the statement of hazard: 3/64 inch up to 5 square inches; 1/16 inch for over 5 to 10; 3/32 inch for over 10 to 30; and 7/64 inch for over 30. law.cornell.edu
Written from 16 CFR 1500.121 and 1500.14, and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Whether a given lubricant or sealant is a hazardous substance under the Act is the formulator's determination, not ours. No point-size conversions appear here because the regulation specifies fractional inches as the height of a capital letter. Climbing area rules on chalk are set by land managers and vary site by site.
