| Chemical Name | Primary Characteristics | Common Applications |
| Toluene | Clear, colorless liquid; aromatic hydrocarbon. | Solvent for paints, coatings, and adhesives; gasoline component. |
| Xylene | Mix of three isomers (o-, m-, and p-xylene). | Solvent in printing, rubber, and leather; industrial cleaning agent. |
| Ethyl Acetate | Colorless liquid with a distinct fruity odor. | Solvent for glues, nail polish removers; used in decaffeination. |
| Butyl Cellosolve | A versatile glycol ether. | Protective surface coatings, cleaning products, and inks. |
| Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) | High-purity solvent and disinfectant. | Electronics cleaning, medical disinfectant, rubbing alcohol. |
| Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) | Highly effective solvent for resins and gums. | Glues, paint removers, and industrial cleaning fluids. |
| Methanol | Often called “wood alcohol.” | Antifreeze, fuel, solvent, and denaturant for ethanol. |
| Special Boiling Point (SBP) | Low aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. | Cleaning agent, diluent, or extraction solvent. |
| Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) | Key chemical building block (monomer). | Production of polymers for adhesives, paints, and textiles. |
| n-Butyl Acetate | High-boiling point solvent with a fruity odor. | Lacquers, finishes, and specialty coatings. |
| Cellosolve Acetate | High-solvency glycol ether acetate. | Inks, coatings, and paint removers (dissolves various resins). |
| n-Propyl Acetate | Medium-boiling, fast-evaporating solvent. | Flexographic and gravure printing inks; various coatings. |
| n-Propyl Alcohol | Versatile alcohol solvent. | Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and printing industries. |
| Methoxy Propyl Acetate (PMA) | High-performance, low-toxicity solvent. | Printing inks and industrial coatings for resins/polymers. |
