EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
THIS PRODUCT IS A NON-VOLATILE AND NON-COMBUSTIBLE RED COLORED SEMI-SOLID GREASE BUT WILL
IGNITE AND BURN AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES.
OSHA WARNING LABEL:
THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY HAZARD WARNING LABEL UNDER
THE OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD.
CONSUMER WARNING LABEL:
A CONSUMER WARNING LABEL IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR THIS PRODUCT.
Inhalation: No acute effects expected from routine operations. Overheating of product may
produce vapors which can cause respiratory irritation, dizziness and nausea.
Ingestion: Product would be expected to have a low order of acute toxicity.
Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated liquid contact can cause dermatitis, folliculitis or oil acne.
Eye contact: Short-term contact (solid or vapor) may result in slight eye irritation.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: No acute effects expected. If symptoms or irritation occur with any exposure, call a
physician.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If
symptoms or irritation occur, call a physician.
If product is accidentally injected into or under the skin, regardless of wound size or
initial absence of symptoms, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a
physician as a surgical emergency.
Ingestion: Not expected to be acutely toxic. If large amounts are swallowed, immediately call a
physician.
Eye contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms or
irritation occur, call a physician.
MSDS ID NO.: 0183MAR019 Product name: Marathon Super Maraplex EP-2 Page 2 of 8
Notes to physician: High velocity injection under the skin may result in serious injury. If left untreated the
affected area is subject to infection, disfigurement, lack of blood circulation and may
require amputation. When dispensed by high pressure equipment this material can
easily penetrate the skin and leave a bloodless puncture wound. Material injected
into a finger can be deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24-48 hours the
patient may experience swelling, discoloration, and throbbing pain in the affected
area. Immediate treatment by a surgical specialist is recommended.
Medical conditions aggravated No data available.
by exposure:
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: For small fires, Class B fire extinguishing media such as
CO2, dry chemical, foam (AFFF/ATC) or water spray can be
used. For large fires, water spray, fog or foam (AFFT/ATC)
can be used. Fire fighting should be attempted only by those
who are adequately trained and equipped with proper
protective equipment.
Specific hazards: The product is not combustlble per the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard, but will ignite and burn at
temperatures exceeding the flash point.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Avoid using straight water streams. Water spray and foam
(AFFF/ATC) must be applied carefully to avoid frothing and
from as far a distance as possible. Avoid excessive water
spray application. Use water spray to cool exposed surfaces
from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of
sewers and water sources.
Flash point: >397 F COC
Autoignition temperature: No data available.
Flammable limits in air - lower (%): No data available.
Flammable limits in air - upper (%): No data available.
NFPA rating: HMIS classification:
Health: 1 Health: 1
Flammability: 1 Flammability: 1
Reactivity: 0 Reactivity: 0
Other: - Special: *See Section 8 for guidance in selection of
personal protective equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Keep public away. Isolate and evacuate area. Shut off source if safe to do so.
Advise authorities and National Response Center (800-424-8802) if substance has
entered a watercourse or sewer. Advise local and state emergency services
agencies, if appropriate. Recover and return product to source. Use suitable
absorbent materials such as vermiculite, sand, or clay to clean up residual liquids.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
MSDS ID NO.: 0183MAR019 Product name: Marathon Super Maraplex EP-2 Page 3 of 8
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA and consistent state and local requirements. Use appropriate grounding
and bonding practices. All five gallon pails and larger metal containers (including tank cars and tank trucks) should be
grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred. Store in properly closed containers that are appropriately labeled
and in a cool well-ventilated area. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on empty containers since they may contain explosive
residues. Do not expose to heat, open flames, strong oxidizers or other sources of ignition.
Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. Exercise good personal hygiene including removal of soiled clothing and
prompt washing with soap and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering measures: Local or general exhaust required when using at elevated temperatures that
generate vapors or mists.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions and adequate ventilation. Approved organic
vapor chemical cartridge or supplied air respirators should be worn when significant
vapors are generated. Observe respirator protection factor criteria cited in ANSI
Z88.2. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection: Use chemical resistant gloves such as neoprene, nitrile, or PVA to prevent prolonged
or repeated skin contact.
Eye protection: Not normally required for routine operations.
