Esters of Tricarboxylic Acids

Abstract

Representatives of this substance class are, for example, citrates or trimellitates. They are used as plasticizers, solvents, adhesives, coatings, inks or cosmetics, and personal care products. In general, these substances are of low acute toxicity after single as well as after repeated exposure. The available data show no genotoxic or carcinogenic effects. Reproductive or developmental toxicity did not occur as well. The substances show only slightly, if any, irritating properties and no skin sensitization potential.
