4,4'-ISOPROPYLIDENEDIPHENOL- ▸ Polycarbonate: Principal monomer for polycarbonate resin production.
- ▸ Epoxy resins: Reacted with epichlorohydrin to produce epoxy resins.
- ▸ Engineering resins: Building block for polysulfone, polyetherimide, and unsaturated polyester resins.
- ▸ Chemical intermediate: Intermediate and antioxidant in select polymer and plasticizer systems.
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Bisphenol A (CAS 80-05-7) is 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, a diphenol. Its largest use is the manufacture of polycarbonate, followed by epoxy resins (reacted with epichlorohydrin); it is also used in unsaturated polyester, polysulfone, and polyetherimide resins and as a chemical intermediate. It also serves as a monomer and antioxidant in certain plastics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bisphenol A (BPA) used for?
Bisphenol A (CAS 80-05-7) is 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, a diphenol. Its largest use is polycarbonate manufacture, followed by epoxy resins (reacted with epichlorohydrin); it is also a building block for polysulfone, polyetherimide, and unsaturated polyester resins and serves as a chemical intermediate and antioxidant in select plastics.
What is the chemical formula and structure of bisphenol A?
Bisphenol A is 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol (diphenylolpropane), molecular formula C15H16O2, CAS 80-05-7. It consists of two phenol rings joined by an isopropylidene bridge, which is why each ring's hydroxyl makes it a difunctional monomer for polycarbonate and epoxy chemistry.
What is another name for bisphenol A?
Bisphenol A is also called 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, diphenylolpropane, and BPA. It is CAS 80-05-7, HS heading 2907.23.
What is the cost of bulk bisphenol A?
Bulk BPA pricing depends on volume, packaging, grade, and destination, so we quote per order rather than list a fixed price. Send your target volume and delivery location for a current bulk quote.
How is bulk bisphenol A packaged and can you provide a CoA and SDS?
We supply BPA in bulk industrial packaging for polycarbonate, epoxy, and engineering-resin producers, with packaging and MOQ confirmed per order. A Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet accompany shipment; request a bulk quote with your target volume.
