Usage

General Description

Phenol, 4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis[2,6-dimethyl- is a chemical compound that consists of phenol molecules connected by an ethylene linkage. It is also known as Bisphenol A and is commonly used in the production of plastics, particularly polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Bisphenol A has raised concerns about its potential effects on human health, as it can leach into food and beverages from containers made with this chemical. Studies have linked Bisphenol A exposure to various health issues, including hormone disruption, reproductive problems, and an increased risk of certain cancers. As a result, many countries have implemented regulations to restrict the use of this compound in consumer products.
