Bisphenol A, also known as BPA is a synthetic chemical that has been used for many industrial purposes. Ever since its discovery by a Russian chemist in 1891, BPA began to gain some popularity due to its ability to serve as a vital compound for most materials that are still widely used up to this day. Some notable examples include plastic bottles, sports equipment, water pipe linings, beverage cans, and of course, thermal papers that are usually used for sales receipts.

However, the application of BPA on various products started to raise some concerns regarding the chemical’s health risk issues over the past decades. Recent studies showed that traces of BPA could permeate through almost anything that it could come in contact with. Too much exposure to BPA can bring adverse effects to the body specifically the brain and hormone production.

Luckily enough, some companies that manufacture products with BPA have found some ways to limit or even eliminate the use of such potentially harmful chemicals. For instance, thermal paper mills started to undergo some modifications so that they won’t be needing any BPA to serve their purpose. These developments eventually bore positive results with the emergence of BPA-free thermal paper rolls.
