Abstract

It has been pointed out that bisphenol A has possibility to be one of the endocrine disruptors. It is considered that bisphenol A is included in epoxy resin minutely; therefore, it is essentially important to know how much amount of bisphenol A is eluted from epoxy resin adhesives for construction works. In this context, quantitative analysis of bisphenol A eluted from two brands of commercial epoxy resin adhesives for construction was conducted in the study. The results obtained can be summarized as follows; 1) 0.1x10^<-6>grams and 11x10^<-6>grams of bisphenol A were eluted with acetonitrile from 1 gram of the two brands of uncured epoxy resin adhesives, respectively. 2) 0.030x10^<-6>grams and 0.017x10^<-6>grams of bisphenol A were eluted from 1 gram of the two brands of cured epoxy resin adhesives with 60℃ water. 0.077x10^<-6> grams and 0.064x10^<-6>grams of bisphenol A were eluted from 1 gram of the same cured epoxy resin adhesives with 60℃ alkaline water.
