Used as a solvent in the production of coatings, inks, and resins due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic substances. Commonly employed in the synthesis of esters, which are used as fragrance and flavor additives in the food and cosmetic industries. Also serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of plasticizers, such as isobutyl acetate, and as a cleaning agent in industrial settings, including paint removers. Its mild reactivity and favorable evaporation rate make it suitable for use in paints and varnishes. Additionally, it finds use as an additive in fuels to enhance combustion efficiency and as a denaturant for ethanol, rendering it unsuitable for consumption while maintaining its utility in industrial applications.
