Irasha kandi ifise akamoto gatoyi k’ivya phenolic. Igipimo caco co gushonga ni 157,2°C, igipimo c’umuriro ni 79,4°C, igipimo co guteka ca bisphenol a ni 250,0°C (ku 1,733 kPa). BPA irashobora gusenyuka muri éthanol, asetone, aside asetike, etere, benzène be n’ibindi bihimba vy’umubiri bifise amazi ariko hafi ntishobora gusenyuka mu mazi. Ifise uburemere bw’amamolekule 228,29, ikomoka kuri acetone na phenol kandi ikora nk’ikintu gihambaye mu bijanye n’ubuhinga bw’imiti y’ibinyabuzima.

Bisphenol A – igihimba nyamukuru mu guhingura polycarbonate, giha amapulasitike uburyo budasanzwe bwo guseruka no guhangana n’ingaruka. Fyonda hano kugira uronke igiciro kinini c’igabanywa rya Bisphenol A.
