4,4'-DIHYDROXYDIPHENYLMETHANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Off-White to Light Pink Solid

Uses

4,4'-Dihydroxydiphenylmethane, is also used as a bisphenol derivative with antioxidant activities. Bisphenol F has been reported to exhibit estrogen agonistic properties. Bisphenol F is used to make epoxy resins and coatings for various applications, such as lacquers, varnishes, liners, adhesives, plastics, water pipes, dental sealants, and food packaging.

Uses

Bisphenol F is a bisphenol derivative with antioxidant activities. Bisphenol F has been reported to exhibit estrogen agonistic properties.

Definition

ChEBI: A bisphenol that is methane in which two of the hydrogens have been replaced by 4-hydroxyphenyl groups.

General Description

Bisphenol F (BPF), an endocrine disrupting compound, is a bisphenol analog, widely used as an alternative to BPA in the production of consumer products. BPF is also used in a variety of industrial applications, including lacquer coatings in cans, food packaging, sealants, dental composites, etc.

Contact allergens

p,p-Bisphenol F is an allergenic component of phenol-formaldehyde resins resol-type.
