Paperworld will begin late January in Frankfurt. Professional sectors stationery, office supplies and school supplies will be present (including thermal paper producers / distributors).
PAPERWORLD is an international fair for stationery and office supplies.
Seventeen exhibitors will present applications in the field of thermal paper (paper rolls, adhesive labels, fax paper ...).
This report, published in January 2014 by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), provides information on bisphenol A (BPA), its use in the manufacture of thermal paper and on alternatives to such use. Based on interviews with technical experts, including stakeholders, EPA has identified nineteen alternatives. In addition to information about the potential dangers of BPA and possible alternatives, information on the technical and economic tradeoffs associated with each option are presented.
Bisphenols F and S are organic compounds, their chemical formulas are respectively C13H12O2and C12H10O4S and their CAS number are respectively 620-92-8 and 80-09-1.
Identified sources of bisphenols F and S are exclusively anthropogenic. Bisphenol F is used in epoxy resins and thermal papers, bisphenol S is used in epoxy resins, polycarbonate, polyethersulphone, thermal papers, phenolic resins and polyester resins.
The report published in 2011 by the Danish EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is the conclusion of a study conducted in Denmark on the risks associated with the migration of BPA from receipts, and from the collars of physiologic pacifiers composed of polycarbonate. Alternatives are proposed for these two applications.
This report, published in 2004 by the Danish EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), details the different uses of BPA and the possible alternatives to its use in drinks cans and food tins, polycarbonate items, thermal paper and printer ink.
