Applications

1. Industrial Solvent:

   • Used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylic resins, and other polymeric materials.
   • Applied in the cleaning of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and precision instruments, as it effectively removes oil, flux residues, and other contaminants without damaging delicate components.

2. Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industry:

   • Serves as an extraction solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or a carrier for fragrances.
   • Is a common component in products like nail polish and perfumes, where it acts as a solvent to dissolve resins or fragrances and enables rapid evaporation for a quick-drying effect.

3. Food Additive:

   • Used in small amounts as a food flavoring agent to mimic fruity flavors such as banana and strawberry (compliant with relevant food safety regulations).

4. Chemical Synthesis:

   • Functions as an intermediate in esterification reactions or as a reaction medium for organic synthesis, providing a stable environment for chemical reactions while facilitating product separation.
