Ensuring Safety and Peace of Mind for DIY Enthusiasts

Craft Resin is a leading brand in the DIY home and garden improvement industry, offering high-quality epoxy resin products. As a responsible company, we understand that safety is of utmost importance to our customers. In this article, we address concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA) in our epoxy resin formula and provide assurance that Craft Resin is safe to use.

Understanding BPA and its Applications

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-studied chemical commonly used in the production of durable epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastic. These materials find applications in various consumer and industrial products, thanks to their high-performance attributes. However, the main concern surrounding BPA arises from its use in materials that come into contact with food, which are regulated and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Craft Resin: BPA-Free and Safe

Craft Resin users can rest assured that our epoxy resin formula is free from BPA. There are three key reasons why BPA is not a concern when using Craft Resin:

1. Complete Reaction: BPA, along with another material called Epichlorohydrin (ECH), are precursors to epoxy resin. During the manufacturing process, these materials undergo a complete reaction, resulting in only trace amounts remaining in the final product. These trace amounts are so minimal that Craft Resin can confidently claim to be BPA-free.
2. No VOCs or Exposure: Both components of the Craft Resin formula, the resin, and the hardener, fully react when combined. This means that no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released during the chemical reaction or at any other time. Consequently, Craft Resin users are not exposed to either BPA or ECH.
3. Limited Food Contact: While BPA concerns primarily arise from its use in food-contact materials, Craft Resin is typically used for coating artwork and does not come into direct contact with food. However, once fully cured, Craft Resin can be safely used as a food-contact surface for articles intended for holding and repeated food-contact use, as per FDA CFR regulations.

Strong Support from Research and Regulatory Bodies

Extensive research conducted by reputable organizations such as the FDA, Health Canada, and the American Chemistry Council consistently supports the safety of BPA at typical exposure levels. Craft Resin users can take comfort in these findings, reinforcing the fact that our epoxy resin is safe to use.
