Description
White flaky material with a phenolic odor. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the primary components in many Epoxy resins. It is also used to make Polycarbonates, Phenoxy resins, Polysulfone resins as well as some Flame retardants and Fungicides. The plastic resins containing BPA are used in consumer products, such as drink bottles, DVDs, eyeglass lenses, electronics, car parts, lining food cans and water pipes. BPA is on the ILFI Red list of building materials.
