Background
Bisphenol A is the raw material used in the production of acrylic and epoxy resin. Acrylates based on bisphenol A or epoxy resin can be polymerirzed not only by exposure to UV light, electron beams or visible light, but also chemically activated by the use of various peroxides. Bisphenol A is also used as a fungicide.
