| Epoxy resins are typically based on the polymerization reaction of bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin. |
| Polycarbonate baby bottles, for example, may leach an estrogenic compound called bisphenol A as they degrade. |
| For example, Colborn says, bisphenol A, a component of plastic that is also used as a fire retardant, causes female mice to reach puberty earlier than normal. |
| Most food tins are lined with a resin which contains a hormone-disrupting chemical called bisphenol A, which can leach from the tin into the food inside. |
| Migrants examined in the tests included octene, styrene, limonene, bisphenol A, diphenyl butadiene and triclosan. |
| The Bisphenol A bischloroformate is then reacted with another chemical to produce a lightfast epoxy resin. |
