Used as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers and resins, enhancing flexibility and durability in polymers. Employed in the synthesis of cycloaliphatic epoxides, which are important in UV-curable coatings and adhesives. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty solvents for inks, dyes, and cleaning formulations due to its moderate evaporation rate and good solvency. Plays a role in fragrance compounds and as a building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
