Used as a solvent in a variety of industrial and chemical processes due to its high boiling point and stability. It is effective in polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of synthetic resins and plastics. Commonly employed in natural gas dehydration and as a carrier in dye formulations. Also serves as a coupling agent in organic synthesis and is utilized in the formulation of cleaning agents and metalworking fluids. Its ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar substances makes it valuable in extraction processes and in the preparation of specialty coatings.
