Used as a high-boiling solvent and coupling agent in coatings, inks, dyes, cleaners, and electronic chemicals. It is also employed as an intermediate for the synthesis of glycol ether derivatives, plasticizers, and specialty chemicals. Due to its excellent solvency and water compatibility, it is widely used in industrial formulations requiring controlled evaporation rates.
