Additionally, it is employed as a solvent, fixative, and emollient in the production of perfumes, fragrances, and cosmetics, enhancing the longevity of scents and providing moisturizing properties to the skin. In the textile industry, it serves as a plasticizer and dye carrier, improving the flexibility and color distribution in synthetic fibers. It is also utilized in the formulation of certain pesticides and insect repellents, providing effective control against various pests, and acts as a mild preservative in various products due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
