8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
Technical equipment: Not necessary. NA
Control of threshold limits: For larger quantities than in this product,
local mechanical exhaust ventilation to keep TLV below 3 mg/m3.
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Normal Use: PPE for Emergencies:
Eye/Face Chemically resistant splash goggles are recommended. NA
Skin Chemically resistant gloves are recommended. NA
Inhalation Under normal conditions of use of this product, the surgical masks NA
usually worn by dental staff are adequate. If used in vivo, a high speed
evacuation tip should be used to protect patient. When airborne limits are
exceeded, a NIOSH-approved respirator with full face piece is
recommended.

Other Protective Measures and Equipment
Wear long sleeves, apron or lab coat over clothing, to protect skin. If used in vivo, use rubber dam around tooth to be
etched and high speed evacuator tip or other protective devices for patient. Mask all surrounding tissue. Emergency
eye wash fountain should be available. Wash thoroughly after handling. Clean protective equipment before reuse.

10. Stability and Reactivity Data
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)
Avoid contact with material such as sulfides and sulfites that could release toxic gases. Avoid strong alkalies because high heat of reaction can
generate steam. Avoid most metals because phosphoric acid can react to liberate hydrogen, a flammable gas.
Hazardous Products Produced During Decomposition
Toxic gases, steam, hydrogen (flammable gas), and oxides of phosphorus. Hazardous reactions: Phosphoric acid can react with metals to liberate
hydrogen, a flammable gas. Thermal decomposition: Combustion by-products include oxides of phosphorus.
