High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Bisphenol A (BPA).

Overview

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in most common organic solvents but has very poor solubility in water. BPA is produced on an industrial scale by the condensation reaction of phenol and acetone.

Our high-purity reference materials for BPA are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.

Uses

BPA's largest single application is as a co-monomer in the production of polycarbonates, which accounts for 65–70% of all BPA production. The manufacturing of epoxy resins and vinyl ester resins account for 25–30% of BPA use. The remaining 5% is used as a major component of several high-performance plastics and as a minor additive in PVC, polyurethane, thermal paper, and several other materials.

Regulatory

The health effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate. BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting hormone-like properties that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. Public health agencies in many countries, as well as the World Health Organization, have investigated BPA. While normal exposure is below the level currently associated with risk, several jurisdictions have taken steps to reduce exposure on a precautionary basis, particularly by banning BPA from baby bottles.

Monitoring

Exposure to BPA is common due to its presence in many everyday materials. Monitoring BPA levels in food and the environment is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Our reference materials provide the accuracy and reliability needed for such monitoring activities.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

BPA has been found to interact with a diverse range of hormone receptors in both humans and animals. It binds to both of the nuclear estrogen receptors, ERα and ERβ, and can mimic or antagonize estrogen. BPA exhibits very low acute toxicity, with an LD50 of 4 g/kg (mouse). However, its long-term, low-dose exposure effects are still a subject of scientific investigation.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

BPA is an environmental contaminant of emerging concern. Despite its short half-life and non-bioaccumulating character, continuous release into the environment causes continuous exposure to both plant and animal life. It affects development and reproduction in a wide range of wildlife, with certain species being particularly sensitive.

Safety Measures

Handling BPA requires adherence to safety guidelines to minimize exposure. Precautionary statements include P201, P202, P261, P273, P302+P352, P304+P340, P305+P351+P338, P308+P313, P333+P313, P363, and P403+P233.
