Core Application Areas

High-Value-Added Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used for the production of intermediates in the antidepressant Fluoxetine, with a gross margin exceeding 40%; requires strict control over moisture and peroxide content.

Optical Resins: Used as a solvent in acrylic resin polymerization, requiring moisture content ≤0.01%; the high technical barrier has led to a CR5 of 68% in this sector.

Grignard Reaction: Used as a low-temperature reaction solvent (boiling point 68.5°C); it is easily recoverable and highly stable, widely applied in organic synthesis.

Industrial and Daily Chemicals

Coatings and Adhesives: Dilutes nitrocellulose and resins for formulating fast-drying solvents; replaces traditional aromatic hydrocarbon solvents in paint cleaning.

Cleaning Agents: Used for metal degreasing and electronic component cleaning; can serve as an auxiliary solvent for the eco-friendly refrigerant R 1234yf.

Fuel Additives: Previously used to increase gasoline octane ratings, but is being phased out due to environmental restrictions; currently only used in small quantities in specific regions.
