Bisphenol A by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as BPA, p,p'-Isopropylidenebisphenol, this compound belongs to a group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols, with two hydroxyphenyl groups. The reagent is available as a white powder which is poorly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 158 to 159 C. Bisphenol A has been generated by the condensation of acetone with two equivalents of phenol. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 80-05-7 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C15H16O2 Molecular weight: 228.29 Assay: 97 % Bisphenol A has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Bisphenol A has been majorly used to produce plastics such as reusable drink containers, food storage containers, canned foods, children's toys, and even receipts from stores. It is an important monomer in production of epoxy resins and is used to produce polycarbonate. It is further used in the synthesis of polysulfones and polyether ketones, and as an antioxidant in some plasticizers, and as a polymerization inhibitor in PVC. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
