Used as a solvent and coupling agent in coatings, inks, and adhesives due to its ability to improve adhesion and film formation. Commonly employed in automotive and industrial coatings for enhanced durability and chemical resistance. Also functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its solvency power helps in the formulation of cleaning agents and degreasers. Additionally, it acts as a corrosion inhibitor in water-based systems and metalworking fluids.
