Used primarily as a synthetic base oil in lubricants due to its excellent thermal stability and low volatility. Commonly found in high-performance engine oils, compressor oils, and hydraulic fluids where long service life and reliability under extreme conditions are required. Also utilized in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel to skin care products and makeup. Its biodegradability makes it suitable for environmentally friendly lubricant applications.
