Cumene is used in research focused on polymer monolayers and polystyrene nanocapsules. In industrial contexts, Cumene is a key ingredient in the production of phenol,methylstyrene, and acetone. This compound′s applications encompass its use as a solvent for paints, lacquers, and enamels, as well as an essential component in high octane fuels. It is recognized as a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs).
