Used as a high-performance solvent in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations due to its excellent solvency and slow evaporation rate. It helps improve flow and leveling in paints and varnishes, resulting in a smooth, defect-free finish. Commonly found in industrial and automotive coatings where durability and application properties are critical. Also used in specialty cleaning products for its ability to dissolve tough residues without damaging substrates. Its low volatility supports safer handling and extended working time in application processes.
