On April 28,2021, I traveled to Marx LLC, and made an off-site, unannounced observation of the
facility. The facility appeared to be in operation. No VE or fugitive dust was observed from the
facility.No objectionable odor was detected. Due to the COVID- 19 Pandemic, DAQ staff are not
physically going inside facilities to perform inspections.
On May 6, 2021,at approximately 1:30PM, I called Rick Detter,Vice President—Sales and
Operations. Based on my conversation with Mr. Detter,I discussed the following:
a) Verified the contacts based on FACFINDER printout. All contact information is current.
Process Description: This facility cuts and glues polyurethane foam and polyester fiber for use in
upholstered furniture.
Inspection:
The permit lists one spray adhesive line (ID No. A)Installed on a foam rubber gluing
operation. There are now 7 spray booths in use. These stations are not directly vented to the
atmosphere, however, for safety purposes,the glue guns will not operate if the building vent
fan is not in operation. Due to the Pandemic,business has slow down. Additionally, supplies
are hard to purchase. The facility uses much less than 8,000 gallons of F-12 per year. This
product has been reformulated and contains no HAPS or TAPS (Heptane is listed as VOC).
