This substance is used by consumers, in articles, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing, at industrial sites and in manufacturing.
Consumer Uses
This substance is used in the following products:
adhesives and sealants,
coating products,
heat transfer fluids,
leather treatment products,
polishes and waxes and
lubricants and greases.
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
indoor use,
outdoor use resulting in inclusion into or onto a materials (e.g. binding agent in paints and coatings or adhesives),
indoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. cooling liquids in refrigerators, oil-based electric heaters) and
outdoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. hydraulic liquids in automotive suspension, lubricants in motor oil and break fluids).
Article service life
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
