Bisphenol A based refers to materials or products that contain Bisphenol A (BPA) as a primary component or building block. BPA is a chemical compound that has been widely used in the manufacture of plastics and resins. Its primary application is in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are known for their strength, clarity, and impact resistance, making them suitable for various uses, including reusable food and beverage containers, safety equipment, and electronic components. Epoxy resins, which are also BPA-based, are utilized as protective coatings, adhesives, and in the manufacturing of durable goods.

The use of BPA-based materials has raised public health concerns due to potential endocrine-disrupting properties. BPA can leach from certain plastics and resins into food and beverages, leading to exposure. Research has investigated the potential health effects of BPA exposure, including links to reproductive issues, developmental problems, and other health concerns. Consequently, there has been a trend towards developing and using BPA-free alternatives in many consumer products, particularly those intended for food contact. Regulatory bodies in various countries have implemented restrictions or bans on the use of BPA in certain applications, such as baby bottles and sippy cups. The term "BPA-based" therefore highlights the presence of this specific chemical in the composition of a material or product.
