Usage

General Description

1,1-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-ethylhexane, also known as Bisphenol A (BPA), is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is widely used in food and beverage packaging, thermal paper products, and dental sealants. It is also found in a variety of household products such as water bottles, food storage containers, and medical devices. BPA has been a topic of debate due to its potential health risks, as it has been linked to hormone disruption, reproductive issues, and other adverse health effects. As a result, there has been a push to reduce and regulate the use of BPA in consumer products.
