Used as a high-boiling glycol ether solvent and coupling agent in coatings, paints, inks, cleaners, adhesives, metal processing fluids, and textile chemicals. It is widely applied as a solvent for water-based and solvent-based formulations due to its excellent solvency, low volatility, and compatibility with both polar and non-polar substances. It is also used as an intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis.
