Used primarily as a solvent in laboratories and in the formulation of specialty cleaning products due to its low polarity and moderate evaporation rate. It serves as a component in fuel blends, contributing to the optimization of combustion properties in some gasoline mixtures. Also found in aerosol propellants and as a carrier solvent in adhesives and coatings where a non-aromatic hydrocarbon is preferred. Its low reactivity makes it suitable for use in chemical synthesis as an inert reaction medium.
