Description
A cloth or fabric manufactured from jute yarn. Shipped in bales.
If wet will heat and quickly rot emitting toxic fumes. Liable to spontaneous combustion if contaminated by oil. Extreme care should be taken when carrying out an examination of wet burlap in an enclosed space. Badly wetted and rotting burlap can emit fumes which are hazardous; respiration equipment is recommended for enclosed space cargo examination.
