Widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, this chemical plays a key role in manufacturing durable, heat-resistant materials. It is commonly found in plastic containers, water bottles, and food storage containers due to its strength and clarity. In epoxy resins, it is used as a protective lining in metal cans and water pipes to prevent corrosion and contamination. It is also a component in thermal paper coatings, such as those used in receipts and tickets, where it enables heat-sensitive printing. Despite its utility, concerns over health effects have led to increased regulation and the development of alternatives in consumer products.
