Description

General description

BisphenolA (BPA) is a diphenylmethanederivative with two hydroxyphenyl groups. Its unique chemical structure imparts exceptionalthermal stability and mechanical strength to materials. It is a key monomer inthe production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. BPA enhances thedurability, impact resistance, and transparency of these products, making themideal for applications in automotive, electronics, and construction industries.
