QUICK LINKS

BADGE, or Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, is an epoxy resin that is found in dental sealants and thermal paper. BADGE is synthesized through the reaction of bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin, resulting in a compound with two epoxide groups. These epoxide groups allow BADGE to crosslink with other molecules, giving it its characteristic strength and durability. BADGE is used as a stabilizer in PVC plastics and as an antioxidant in rubber. Despite its widespread use, concerns have been raised about the potential health effects of BADGE, particularly its potential to act as an endocrine disruptor.
