Used primarily as a plasticizer in polymers to enhance flexibility and durability. Commonly found in coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its ability to improve adhesion and resistance to environmental stress. Also employed in the formulation of inks and printing materials for better flow and film formation. Its low volatility makes it suitable for applications requiring prolonged performance under moderate heat and humidity. Occasionally used in specialty industrial lubricants and as a solvent in chemical processes where slow evaporation is desired.
