- Industrial Solvent: Widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives, lubricant dewaxing, and photolithography developers in the electronics industry due to its strong solvency and moderate evaporation rate.
- is used in the synthesis of fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and fragrances.
- General-purpose solvent: One of the most commonly used solvents for cleaning, degreasing, paint thinning, nail polish removal, etc.
- is frequently used for cleaning glassware and sample preparation.
