cis,cis-Muconic acid (cis,cis-2,4-Hexadienedioic acid) is a naturally-occurring organic acid. It is used in the manufacture of several widely-used consumer plastics. Its microbial production via extending the shikimate pathway has been reported.

Dimethyl phthalate (Fermine) has many uses, including in solid rocket propellants, plastics, and insect repellants. Acute (short-term) exposure to dimethyl phthalate, via inhalation in humans and animals, results in irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. No information is available on the chronic (long-term), reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of dimethyl phthalate in humans. Animal studies have reported slight effects on growth and on the kidney from chronic oral exposure to the chemical. EPA has classified dimethyl phthalate as a Group D, not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.

Bisphenol A is an endogenous metabolic compound of phenols and is widely used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. It is reproductive, developmental and systemic toxicant and is often classified as an endocrine disruptor. It has been linked to many diseases, including respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity and reproductive disorders.

Terephthalic acid is an isomer and a precursor of the polyester PET. It is used in the production of textiles and plastics, and can also be used to establish skin cancer models.

Triethyl citrate is used in pharmaceutical coatings and plastics.

Propyl heptanoate is an important chemical raw material and an organic solvent in the industrial field. It can be used in synthetic fragrances, nylon fibers and advanced plastics.

Ethyl L-lactate, also known as L-lactic acid ethyl ester, is commonly used in biodegradable plastics and hand sanitizers, and is widely applied in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol is a hindered phenol that can be used as an antioxidant to prevent oxidative degradation in plastics, rubber, and oils.

Diethyl phthalate (Standard) is the standard substance of Diethyl phthalate, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Diethyl phthalate (1,2-diethyl benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate) is a endocrine disrupter affecting the apoptotic system in PC12 cells. Diethyl phthalate is widely used in many plastics and personal care products.
