The report provides state of knowledge on chemicals in plastic.
A chapter of this report is dedicated to the substitution of chemicals and includes several case studies on substitution, including:
Published in 2014 by Health Care Without Harm (HCWH), the first edition of Non-toxic healthcare listed alternatives to phthalates and bisphenol A in medical devices.
This search tool is a table in Microsoft® Excel format summarizing all the alternatives to bisphenols compiled by INERIS and mentioned in the Bisphenols Substitution website.
Lining water pipes (applying resin to their walls) helps to prevent their deterioration. BPA-based resins are commonly used to line the pipes of drinking-water systems. This mini-dossier reviews the challenges in this area and the technical solutions currently available.
Tetra-bromo bisphenol A (TBBPA) is a substance that belongs to the family of bisphenols and is used in plastics as a reactant or additive for its properties of flame retardant.
When used as a reagent, TBBPA is modified in the resin and is linked by chemical bonds. The two main applications are: the constituent epoxy resins of printed circuits and the epoxy resins used to encapsulate some electronic components from printed circuits. TBBPA is also used marginally as a reagent in other plastics and resins.
