Bisphenol A (2,2'-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, BPA) has been used in commercial and industrial applications since the 1970’s. It has been the subject of numerous toxicological studies due to human exposure from leachate originating from polycarbonate plastics and epoxy-lined food and drink containers.

The evidence of the toxic effects of BPA has lead to restrictions and regulations, resulting in its replacement in commercial products with related compounds. Several chemicals with structural similarity to BPA (ie. two hydroxyl phenyl moieties) have been used as alternatives in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. 4,4'-sulfonyldiphenol (BPS) and 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylmethane (BPF) are the two main substitutes. However, their similarity to BPA has lead to their monitoring and testing for human exposure and toxicity as well.

In addition to the BPA analogs, there has been increased scrutiny of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) which is a widely used building block of epoxy resin. Studies have shown that it also might be linked to adverse human health effects.

AccuStandard has recognized the need for a comprehensive product line of these BPA related compounds; and is offering reference standards for eight BPA analogs as well as the BADGE starting material.
