Applications
Dibenzyl ether (CAS 103-50-4) is primarily used as a high-boiling organic solvent for coatings, inks, and adhesives; it also serves as a processing aid for polymer and resin formulations; it functions as a reaction medium or intermediate in organic synthesis for preparing benzyl-containing compounds; it can be used as a specialty cleaning solvent for compatible substrates; its use is subject to local regulations and formulation constraints.
