Sourcing Bisphenol A (BPA)? ChemicalDekho connects you with major producers like Deepak Phenolics and importers of LG Chem/Covestro. Secure high-purity monomers for resin manufacturing.
Bisphenol A (CAS 80-05-7) is the essential starting material for high-performance plastics. It reacts with Epichlorohydrin to form Epoxy Resins (used in coatings/adhesives) and with Phosgene/DPC to form Polycarbonate (shatterproof glass). It imparts toughness, clarity, and heat resistance.
**REGULATORY NOTE:** BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Its use in baby bottles and thermal paper is restricted in many regions. Industrial users must handle with care.

May damage fertility or the unborn child. May cause an allergic skin reaction. Causes serious eye damage. Toxic to aquatic life. Endocrine Disruptor.
BPA mimics the hormone estrogen. It can leach out of plastic bottles/cans into food. Because of this, 'BPA-Free' is now a standard for consumer food packaging.
Its biggest use is making Epoxy Resins (adhesives/coatings) and Polycarbonate (hard clear plastic like eyeglass lenses).
It is usually sold as 'Prills' (small white beads) to reduce dust and make handling easier.
No. It is hydrophobic. It dissolves in organic solvents like Acetone and Alcohol.
