This chemical is primarily used as a plasticizer in the production of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. It enhances the flexibility, durability, and workability of PVC materials, making it suitable for applications such as cables, wires, flooring, and synthetic leather. It is also employed in coatings and adhesives to improve their performance and longevity. Additionally, it can be found in certain consumer goods, including toys and packaging materials, where flexibility and resilience are required. Its compatibility with various polymers makes it a versatile additive in industrial and manufacturing processes.
