Bisphenols are used to produce polymers and resins, which are then used to make plastic materials. They form a big family with many substances that have similar chemical structures and uses. Some of the most well-known ones are Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS).

Due to their hazardous properties, the use of some bisphenols has been limited or is being limited in the EU to protect people's health and the environment.
