Used primarily as a solvent in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is effective in coatings, dyes, and inks due to its ability to blend with both water and organic solvents, ensuring smooth application and even drying. Commonly found in varnishes, resins, and latex paints to improve flow and dispersion. Also used in cleaning products, especially industrial degreasers, because it dissolves tough residues. Employed in the electronics industry for cleaning circuit boards and in textile printing to enhance dye solubility. Limited use in some household products due to toxicity concerns, but remains valuable in controlled industrial settings.
