A BPA-free product is one that does not use the organic compound Bisphenol A in its structure. In the past, many plastic products such as baby bottles, plastic plates and cutlery, storage containers, beverage bottles have been produced using this chemical compound.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.
Over the years, concerns have increased about its effects on human health, especially when used in food contact materials and products. Many countries around the world now regulate the use of BPA, and manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers must comply with legal regulations and standards.
Bisphenol A (BPA) compound is defined as a substance that causes developmental damage in fetuses, infants and young children. Bisphenol A (BPA) also affects children's behavior. Studies show that there is a link between BPA and increased blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, restrictions are now placed on the use of this compound in many countries. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes that this chemical is safe at very low levels that occur in some foods. However, the FDA continues its investigations.
BPA has been used as an industrial chemical in the manufacture of certain plastics and resins since the 1950s. This compound is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are often used in containers for storing food and beverages, such as water bottles. It is also used in other consumer goods. Epoxy resins are used to coat metal products such as food cans, bottle caps and water supply lines. Some dental sealants and composites also contain this compound. According to some research results, it leaches into food or beverages from containers made with BPA.
On the other hand, using BPA-free plastic products can also be harmful to human health, including a developing brain, according to scientists. As adverse health effects become more widely known, companies are turning to using alternative chemicals to develop plastic products.
Our organization also provides BPA-free tests and certification services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
