HBPA Epoxy Resin Market Challenges
Health Issues and Growing Regulations regarding BPA
HBPA epoxy resin is used as a protective coating to protect the surface from the deteriorating impact of high temperature, which can cause damage to the surface. However, there are certain health-related issues associated with the use of HBPA epoxy resins because it has bisphenol A content, which is considered not good for human health. The use of bisphenol A causes health-related issues such as heart-related issues, cancer, and for children, it is a more serious health issue. According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), BPA content has been considered hazardous for human health. Moreover, according to the European Union Regulation 2018/213, the "Plastics Regulation" 10/2011, the new BPA Regulation reduces the SML for BPA from 0.6 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg. Regulations like these are restricting the limiting the use of HBPA epoxy resin. Therefore, the health issues and growing regulations related to BPA are creating a bottleneck for HBPA epoxy resin market growth.
