Used as a solvent and plasticizer in the manufacturing of polymers, resins, inks, paints, and printing processes. Commonly employed in natural gas dehydration to remove water vapor due to its hygroscopic nature, preventing ice formation and corrosion in pipelines. Serves as a carrier and diluent in air fresheners, fog machines, and perfumes, producing visible vapor effects and aiding in fragrance dispersion in entertainment, industrial, and consumer settings. Utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as a stabilizing agent or excipient. Found in cosmetics, skin care products, lotions, and creams for its moisture-retaining and humectant properties.
