Isopropanol is a major ingredient in "dry-gas" fuel additive. It is a very good cleaning agent and is often used for cleaning electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape deck and floppy disk drive heads, the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g. CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from CPU's. It is also used to clean glass computer monitor screens, and is used by many music shops to give second-hand or worn records newer looking sheens. It cleans dry-erase boards very well and other unwanted ink related marks.
N.butanol (NBA)
It is used as a solvent in a variety of chemical and textile processes, in organic synthesis and as a chemical intermediate. It is also commonly used as a paint thinner and as a solvent in other coating applications.
It is also used as a base for perfumes and is also considered as a potential biofuel. Butanol at 85% strength can be used in cars without any change to the engine and it produces more power than ethanol and almost as much power as gasoline.
Toluene
It is widely used as an industrial feedstock and as a solvent. Toluene is a common solvent, and can dissolve: paints, paint thinners, many chemical reactants, rubber, printing ink, adhesives (glues), lacquers, leather tanners and disinfectants. It can also be used as a fullerene indicator, and is a raw material for toluene di-isocyanate, phenol and TNT. It can be used as an octane booster in gasoline fuels used in internal combustion engines.

T.H.F or tetrahydrofurane is a low-viscosity liquid with a diethyl ether-like smell. It is used as a solvent of intermediate polarity in chemical reactions. Tetrahydrofurane is often used for hydroborations used to synthesize primary alcohols. It is used in polymer science. For example, it can be used to dissolve rubber prior to determining its molecular mass using gel permeation chromatography. It is also used industrially to degrease metal parts
Xylene is a colorless, sweet-smelling liquid and is very flammable. It occurs naturally in petroleum and coal tar and is formed during forest fires.
Acetone
Acetone is a colorless, mobile, flammable liquid with melting point at −95.4°C and boiling point at 56.53°C. It is readily soluble in water, ethanol, ether etc., and serves as an important solvent. It is most commonly used as an active ingredient in nail polish remover. It is also used to make plastic, fibers, drugs and other chemicals.
Benzene
Benzene is a colorless and flammable liquid with a sweet smell and a relatively high melting point. It is an important industrial solvent and precursor in the production of drugs, plastics, synthetic rubber and dyes. Benzene is commonly used as an intermediate to make other chemicals. Its most widely-produced derivatives include styrene, which is used to make polymers and plastics, phenol for resins. Smaller amounts of benzene are used to make some types of rubbers, lubricants, dyes, detergents, drugs, explosives and pesticides.
Cyclohexanone
It is a colorless, oily liquid with an acetone-like smell. It is used as an industrial solvent and as an activator in oxidation reactions. It is also used in the production of adipic acid, cyclohexanone resins, caprolactam and nylon 6.
