Used as a solvent in various industrial and laboratory applications due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic substances. Commonly employed in cleaning agents, especially in electronics and glass manufacturing, where water alone is insufficient. Serves as a carrier fluid in fuel systems, particularly in cold climates to prevent ice formation in fuel lines. Utilized in analytical chemistry as a mobile phase in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Also used in the formulation of antifreeze mixtures and as a preservative in some biological samples. Its miscibility with water and moderate polarity make it suitable for extraction processes and chemical synthesis where controlled polarity is required.
