BISPHENOL-A(BPA, DPP) is a bifunctional phenolic compound produced
by the condensation of acetone and phenol. The polycarbonate grade
is essentially 2, *-Bis propane with only trace amount of other
isomers. Poly carbonate grade BISPHENOL-A is a white solid prill of
high purity used as a major ingredient of polymers such as
polycarbonates and epoxy resin.
BISPHENOL-A is used in the synthesis of polyesters,
polysulfones, and polyether ketones, as an antioxidant in some
plasticizers, and as a polymerization inhibitor in PVC. It is a key
monomer in production of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy
resins.
