Product Application of 4,4'-IsopropylidenediphenolCAS # 80-05-7

Bisphenol A is a high-demand bifunctional phenolic monomer widely deployed across polymer manufacturing, plastic auxiliary, agriculture, coating and ink industries, with categorized usages as below:

  1. High-performance Synthetic Resin Manufacturing

    It acts as the core synthetic raw material for epoxy resin, polycarbonate (PC), polyester resin, polyphenylene ether resin and polysulfone resin, greatly improving finished resin products’ transparency, mechanical strength, heat resistance and impact resistance.

  2. Plastic & Rubber Auxiliary Additives

    It serves as thermal stabilizer for PVC plastic, general plastic antioxidant, ultraviolet light absorber, and anti-aging antioxidant for rubber products, effectively extending the service life of plastic and rubber finished goods.

  3. Agricultural Production Additive

    It is formulated as high-efficiency agricultural fungicide to restrain harmful microorganism reproduction on crop surfaces.

  4. Coatings & Printing Ink Additives

    Functions as antioxidant and softening plasticizer for industrial paints and printing inks, optimizing coating film smoothness and anti-yellowing performance.
