Bisphenol A

Product details

Bisphenol A is used primarily as feedstock for the synthesis of polymeric resins based on polyesters, polysulfones, polyether ketones, polycarbonates and epoxy resins. It is therefore an extremely important economic and technical importance. In addition, BPA is used as an antioxidant in plasticizers and against the polymerization to polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
