Used as a solvent in industrial coatings and cleaning agents due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic materials. Commonly found in paint and ink formulations for improved flow and drying properties. Acts as a coupling agent in gas treating processes to remove impurities like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Employed in the production of unsaturated polyester resins for composites and fiberglass. Also utilized in some agricultural formulations to enhance the dispersion and penetration of active ingredients. Its low volatility and moderate reactivity make it suitable for use in hydraulic and lubricating systems where stability is important.
