Question: Is it true that epoxy adhesives contain the same BPA that has been shown to be harmful when used to make drinking bottles?
Answer: Bisphenol A (BPA) is indeed a chemical building block in the manufacture of epoxy resins as well as polycarbonate bottles. Most of the controversy on BPA revolved around the detection of trace quantities of BPA—and its potentially harmful effects—in microwaved polycarbonate baby bottles.
