It has a wide range of uses as organic raw materials and solvents. As chemical raw materials, it can produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, isopropylamine, isopropyl ether, isopropyl chloride, as well as fatty acid isopropyl ester and chlorinated fatty acid isopropyl ester Wait. In fine chemicals, it can be used to produce isopropyl nitrate, isopropyl xanthate, triisopropyl phosphite, aluminum isopropoxide, medicines and pesticides, etc. It can also be used to produce diisoacetone, isopropyl acetate and Thymol and gasoline additives.

As a solvent, it is a relatively cheap solvent in the industry, has a wide range of uses, can be freely mixed with water, and has a stronger solubility for lipophilic substances than ethanol. It can be used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, rubber, paint, shellac, alkaloids, etc. It can be used to produce coatings, inks, extractants, aerosols, etc. It can also be used as antifreeze, detergent, additive for blending gasoline, dispersant for pigment production, fixative for printing and dyeing industry, antifogging agent for glass and transparent plastics, etc. It is used as a diluent for adhesives, as well as antifreeze, dehydrating agent, etc.

Determination of barium, calcium, copper, magnesium, nickel, potassium, sodium, strontium, nitrous acid, cobalt, etc. as chromatographic standards.

Used as a defoamer for water-based fracturing fluids in oil wells, air forms an explosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open fire and high heat energy, and can react strongly with oxidants.

In the electronics industry, it can be used as a cleaning degreaser. In the oil industry, the extractant of cottonseed oil can also be used for degreasing animal-derived tissue membranes.
