Where can I find information about bisphenol A (CAS 80-05-7)?

J & K SCIENTIFIC LTD. Bisphenol A (CAS 80-05-7) information, including chemical properties, structure, melting point, boiling point, density, formula, molecular weight, uses, prices, suppliers, SDS and more, available at Chemicalbook.

How is bisphenol A used in epoxy resin production?

Bisphenol A precipitates and is filtered off and washed with toluene to remove unreacted phenol (which is recovered). The product is then recrystallized from aqueous ethanol. Since epoxy resins are oflow molecular weight and because colour is not normally particularly important, the purity of bisphenol A used in resin production is not critical.

What are bisphenol-A formaldehyde resins?

Bisphenol-A formaldehyde resins are a subset of phenol formaldehyde resins. They are used in the production of high-pressure laminates PVC can contain BPA and its derivatives through multiple routes. BPA is sometimes used as an antioxidant in phthalates, which are extensively used as plasticizers for PVC.

What percentage of bisphenol A is used to make polycarbonate plastic?

About 65–70% of all bisphenol A is used to make polycarbonate plastics, which can consist of nearly 90% BPA by mass. Polymerisation is achieved by a reaction with phosgene, conducted under biphasic conditions; the hydrochloric acid is scavenged with aqueous base.

Is bisphenol A a chemical oxidizer?

Bisphenol A is a white or tan crystals or flakes with a mild phenolic odor and a very low vapor pressure (ECB, 2003). It is mildly soluble in water. It is not considered to be an explosive in the conventional sense but can pose a hazard as a finely powdered material in air (ECB, 2003). It is not considered to be a chemical oxidizer.

What is bisphenol A polycarbonate used for?

Bisphenol A-polycarbonate plastics are in turn used in the manufacture of plastic food containers such as reusable water bottles, while epoxy resins are used as inner linings of tin cans.
