Usage And Synthesis |
|
General Description |
White to light brown powder. Has a weak medicine odor. Sinks in water. |
|
Usage |
endocrine disruptor, plastic monomer |
|
A monomer used for policarbonate and epoxy resins; exhibits estrogenic activity. BPA is also used as a building block in polycarbonate bottles and in the epoxy-resin liners of metal cans. |

Air & Water Reactions |
The finely powdered resin is a significant dust explosion hazard. Insoluble in water. |
|
Reactivity Profile |
Bisphenol A is incompatible with strong oxidizers. Bisphenol A is also incompatible with strong bases, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. |
|
Health Hazard |
Dusts irritating to upper respiratory passages; may cause sneezing. |
|
Fire Hazard |
Bisphenol A is combustible. Bisphenol A may form explosive dust clouds. Static electricity can cause its dust to explode. |
