Bisphenol A
1. Physical and chemical properties: bisphenol A (BPA), scientific name: 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, referred to as diphenylpropane, white crystal, melting point 156 ~ 158 ℃. Soluble in acetic acid, acetone (AC), methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, ether, benzene and alkaline solution.
2. The upstream is mainly composed of phenol (PH) and acetone (AC), and the downstream is mainly used to produce polycarbonate (PC), epoxy resin (ER), polysulfone resin, polyphenylene ether resin and other polymer materials. It can also be used in} plasticizer, flame retardant, antioxidant, heat stabilizer, rubber antioxidant, pesticide, coating and other fine chemical products.
3. The downstream products are polycarbonate (PC) and epoxy resin (ER), which are mainly used in the packaging of canned food and beverage, milk bottles, water bottles, sealant used for dental fillings, spectacle lenses and the manufacturing process of hundreds of other daily necessities.
Bisphenol A is an important raw material for the synthesis of polycarbonate, epoxy resin and high temperature resistant polyester. It is also used as PVC stabilizer, plastic antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber and bactericide. Bisphenol A is a widely used product, which is widely used in the production of epoxy resin, polycarbonate, polyester resin, polyphenylene ether resin and polysulfone resin. It can also be used as PVC stabilizing chemical book agent, plastic antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber, agricultural bactericide, rubber antioxidant and so on. It can also be used as antioxidant and plasticizer of paint and ink. For organic synthesis, it is also used as raw material for the manufacture of epoxy resin and polycarbonate, and is also used as an important raw material for polymer synthetic materials. It is also used in antiaging agents, plasticizers, pesticide fungicides, etc.
