BPA Thermal Rolls & The New Law

THE 2020 NEW LAW ON BPA Till Rolls

Bisphenol A (BPA) in Thermal Paper

At Roll-X® we take our social responsibility & sustainable footprint very seriously; we are committed to ensuring  we keep all our valued customers informed on all important / key developments in the world of cash register/till rolls.

This article has been produced to provide details and information on the regulatory changes on the restriction of Bisphenol A (BPA) which is currently used in the manufacture of Thermal Paper.

Our aim is to provide you with all the information you need to understand when the changes are in affect and how it impacts your business.

The Law!

The new legislation and timetable for change.

In December 2016, the European Commission published a new regulation restricting the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in thermal paper in the EU.  From 2 January 2020, thermal paper which contains BPA in a concentration equal to or more than 0.02% by weight will be banned from the EU.

The Technical Stuff!

What is Bisphenol A?

Bisphenol A or BPA is a chemical used for the past 50 years to make hard  such as polycarbonate and epoxy resins and has been used in the manufacture of a large range of consumer products such as plastic bottles, and the inner coating of tin cans for food as it stops the product adopting a metallic taste, and many other consumer products such as toys, CD’s, DVD’s etc.

Bisphenol A or BPA is also used as a dye developer in the manufacture of thermal paper which is converted into paper rolls for use in cash registers, tills, EPOS Systems, Credit Card Terminals, PDQ Machines, and Chip and Pin Machines.

Our Roll-X® manufacturing facility is now 100% BPA Free, all our new purchases of roll will reflect the new legal changes in replenishment. Please look for the BPA Free logo to ensure what you are purchasing is currently a legal product.
