BADGE is the abbreviation for Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, which is a chemical compound used in the production of epoxy resins. These resins are used in a wide variety of products, such as food and beverage coatings, food can coatings, adhesives, sealants, and many other products.

BADGE is a type of bisphenol used as a monomer in the production of epoxy resins. However, like BPA, BADGE is also an endocrine disruptor and can have negative effects on human health. It has been shown that it can mimic the action of estrogen in the body and may have negative effects on brain, mammary gland and prostate development and function.

Due to potential health risks, many countries have established limits and regulations for the use of BADGE in consumer products. In addition, safer alternatives, such as epoxy resins free of BADGE and other bisphenols, have been developed for use in food and other health-sensitive products.
