Used as a non-polar solvent in laboratories and industrial applications, particularly in extraction processes and chromatography due to its low reactivity and volatility. Commonly employed in the production of adhesives, coatings, and sealants as a carrier solvent. Also utilized in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics where a low boiling point solvent is required. Its low water solubility and high volatility make it suitable for use in cleaning agents and degreasers. Often found in sample preparation for analytical testing, especially in food and environmental analysis.
