1. Mainly used in the manufacture of phthalic acid, aliphatic dibasic acid and phosphoric acid n-butyl ester plasticizers, which are widely used in various plastics and rubber products. It is also the raw material for making butyraldehyde, butyric acid, butylamine and butyl lactate in organic synthesis. Still dehydrating agent, anti-emulsifier, as well as oils and fats, drugs (such as antibiotics, hormones and vitamins) and spices extractant, alkyd resin coating additives. It can also be used as a solvent for organic dyes and printing inks, and as a dewaxing agent. Used as a solvent to separate potassium perchlorate and sodium perchlorate, also can separate sodium chloride and lithium chloride. Used to wash sodium zinc uranyl acetate precipitate. Used in colorimetric determinations to determine arsenic acid by the molybdate method. Determination of fat in cow's milk. Medium for saponification of esters. Preparation of paraffin-embedded substances in microanalysis. Used as a solvent for fat, wax, resin, wormwood, gum, etc. Co-solvent for nitro spray paint, etc.

2. Chromatographic analysis of standard substances. Used for colorimetric determination of arsenic acid, separation of potassium, sodium, lithium, chlorate solvent.

3. Used as analytical reagents, such as solvents, for chromatographic analysis of standard substances. Also used in organic synthesis.

4. as an important solvent, in the production of urea-formaldehyde resins, cellulose resins, alkyd resins and coatings used in large quantities, but also as a common inactive diluent in adhesives. It is also an important chemical raw material for the production of plasticizer dibutyl phthalate, aliphatic dibasic acid ester, phosphate ester. Also used as a dehydrating agent, anti-emulsifier and extractant for oils, spices, antibiotics, hormones, vitamins, etc., additive for alkyd resin coatings, co-solvent for nitro spray paints.

5. Cosmetic solvent. Mainly in nail polish and other cosmetics as a co-solvent, with ethyl acetate and other main solvents, to help dissolve the color and adjust the solvent evaporation rate and viscosity. The amount added is generally about 10%. 

6. It can be used as defoamer for ink blending in silk screen printing.

7. Used in baking food, pudding, candy. 8.

8. used in the production of esters, plastic plasticizer, medicine, spray paint, and used as a solvent.
