* What is BisphenolA? What does “BPA free” mean?
Bisphenol A is an ingredient that is used in the manufacture of plastics such as polycarbonate. It can be found in many everyday items, kitchen utensils and water bottles. Bisphenol-A is a hormonal pollutant that, even in very small quantities, negatively alters the hormonal balance of humans.
The use of bisphenolA in baby bottles has been banned throughout the EU since June 1, 2011.
If there are alternatives to this material, then these should also be used. Of course, no one knows today whether and which substances will be classified as critical in Tritan in 10 or 20 years, but science can of course only ever refer to the latest findings.
In our opinion, it is important how long a food is in contact with the bisphenolA and what temperatures it has been exposed to. With mineral water in plastic bottles, the long duration is of course given, from filling to drinking can already be several weeks or even months, especially the recommended low mineral water has of course a stronger reaction potential with bisphenolA than stronger mineral water.
Also, many food or beverage cans are coated inside with a plastic that contains bisphenolA. In the case of canned foods, there is also the fact that they are often heated several times in the can to preserve them, which may accelerate the release of bisphenol A to the food.
If you have the possibility, you should at least use glass bottles or Acala Tritan bottles for water; Processed food in tins should be replaced by fresh food.
When mixing cold food in a polycarbonate container with a general duration of less than 2 minutes, only minimal amounts, if any, are released into the food due to the shortness of this process and the short contact with the plastic as well as the lack of heat development.
Nevertheless, we are pleased that finally also in Germany the material “Tritan”, which has been approved in the EU since mid-2010, is used in the Acala drinking bottles and we can already offer it to you. Tritan has already been used successfully in the USA since late 2007 and has proven itself in practice.
The statutory liability for defects applies.
** Formaldehyde
Some cooking spoons, spatulas, mugs (also for hot drinks), plates, some bowls and cutlery are made of melamine, a hard plastic. Unfortunately, from 70°C. Formaldehyde from melamine. Formaldehyde dissolves from melamine on contact with acidic substances such as fruit juice, even at low temperatures.
Formaldehyde is a toxic gas that dissolves easily in water. In too high concentrations, it can promote cancer and cause blindness. It also impairs memory, concentration and sleep.
Our advice is to use stainless steel or glass bowls, drink from glass, Acala tritan bottles or ceramic and use wooden spoons.
The special grip of the recessed grip in the upper third of the bottle gives the bottle particularly much grip, this practical feature was finally also the namesake of our Tritantrinkflasche “Grip”
Our tip;
Wash your Tritan bottles by hand as often as possible, all plastic is attacked by the salts used in detergents and becomes brittle, the less you clean your Tritan bottles in the dishwasher, the longer you will enjoy them.
Clean your Tritan bottles with the aid of stainless steel cleaning beads and a mild cleaning solution. The beads remove debris and your bottle is by the mechanical cleaning, in most cases cleaner than in the dishwasher, where the water often does not reach the bottom of the bottle.
