Permian Plastics Partners with Manufacturer of Potable Water Products to Decrease Exposure to Bispehnol A (BPA).
O'Fallon, MO (PRWEB) May 22, 2014 -- A recent study by Cincinnati Cancer Center, published in PLOS ONE, http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0090332, referred to findings by researchers regarding small amounts of BPA in men’s urine. This is the first study to claim that low-dose BPA may cause cancer development in the prostate.
Recognizing manufacturers’ concerns about this, and other reports regarding the effects of BPA as a potentially cancer causing chemical used in every day products, Dale Emge, President, Permian Plastics, http://www.permianplastics.com collaborated on the use of Tritan™ copolyester, as an alternative to polycarbonate (PC) to his customer, a major manufacturer of potable water products.
According to Emge, “Permian Plastics is producing parts for a small appliance. Drinking water is exposed to polycarbonate in the well of the appliance which, according to recent studies regarding BPA, can be a health concern. It made sense for us to work with our customer to pursue an alternative, safer material, such as Tritan™, which I consider to be the best replacement for polycarbonate.”
