Like some other nitrated organic compounds, nitroethane is also used as a fuel additive and a precursor to explosives.

Nitroethane is a useful solvent for polymers such as polystyrene and is particularly useful for dissolving cyanoacrylate adhesives.[citation needed] In niche applications, it has been used as a component in artificial nail remover and in overhead ceiling sealant sprays.

Nitroethane has been used as a chemical feedstock in clandestine laboratories for synthesis of controlled substances such as amphetamines.
