Used as an organic solvent and chemical intermediate in the production of fragrances, flavors, plasticizers, lubricants, surfactants, and specialty chemicals. It is also employed as a raw material for the synthesis of esters, ethers, and other organic compounds. Due to its moderate volatility and good solvency, it is applied in coatings, inks, and industrial formulations.
