Used as a high-performance solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations due to its excellent balance of evaporation rate and solvency. It effectively dissolves resins, oils, and pigments, making it ideal for industrial and maintenance coatings, including automotive and aerospace finishes. Its low volatility helps reduce fogging in automotive interior parts. Commonly found in paint strippers, degreasers, and electronic cleaning products where a slow-drying, penetrating solvent is needed. Also used in some pesticide formulations to enhance active ingredient delivery.
