Bisphenol a boiling point
Bisphenol A, chemically known as 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, is referred to as BPA. It appears as white crystals, is flammable, and has a faint phenolic odor. Its boiling point is 250–252°C (at 1.773 kPa). The pure product melts at 155–156°C, while the industrial-grade version melts at 150–152°C. It has a relative density of 1.195 (at 25°C) and a flash point of 79.4°C. BPA is soluble in ethanol, acetone, ether, benzene, and dilute alkaline solutions, slightly soluble in carbon tetrachloride, and almost insoluble in water.
