Widely used as a solvent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products due to its ability to dissolve a broad range of non-polar compounds and evaporate quickly. Commonly found in disinfectants and hand sanitizers, where it effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi by denaturing their proteins. Frequently used in cleaning agents for electronics and optical devices because it leaves no residue and dries rapidly. Employed in industrial settings to remove grease, adhesives, and flux residues. Also utilized in the preparation of wipes and swabs for surface decontamination in medical and laboratory environments.
