Epoxy Precursors

Bisphenol A (BPA)
Bisphenol A (Polycarbonate Grade) is a difunctional phenolic compound produced by the condensation of acetone and phenol. The polycarbonate grade is essentially 2,2-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) propane with only trace amounts of other isomers.

This chemical is primarily used in the production of epoxy and polycarbonate resins. Bisphenol A is also used as a precursor for:

• Flame retardants
• Unsaturated polyester resins
• Polyacrylate resins
• Polyetherimide resins
• Polysulfone resins

Epichlorohydrin (ECH)
Epichlorohydrin is a colorless liquid used as a raw material in manufacturing many glycerol and glycidol derivatives.

These products may be used as:

• Plasticizers
• Stabilizers
• Solvents
• Dyestuff intermediates
• Surface active agents
• Pharmaceuticals
• Intermediates for further synthesis
