Used primarily as a plasticizer in polymers to enhance flexibility and durability. Commonly found in coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its good solvating properties. Provides improved low-temperature performance and resistance to water. Also utilized in cellulose-based plastics and synthetic rubber formulations to extend workability and reduce brittleness. Its compatibility with a range of resins makes it suitable for industrial and automotive applications where flexible, durable materials are required.
