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 for electronic components and glass surfaces, because it evaporates quickly and leaves minimal residue. Serves as a fuel additive and a denaturant for ethanol, making it unsuitable for consumption. Utilized in the production of formaldehyde and other chemical intermediates. Also used in fuel cells as a source of hydrogen due to its high energy density and ease of storage. In cold climates, applied as an antifreeze agent in pipelines and windshield washer fluid.
