Bisphenol A (80-05-7)

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Its applications span various industries due to its desirable properties, including transparency, durability, and heat resistance. In consumer goods, BPA is found in food and beverage containers, water bottles, baby bottles, and dental sealants. It is also used in electronics, automotive parts, and medical devices. Despite its versatility, BPA has raised concerns about potential health risks, leading to increased scrutiny and regulatory restrictions in some regions. As a result, there is ongoing research into alternative materials and safer production methods to reduce BPA exposure.
