VG-10 bitumen is the softest grade of viscosity grade bitumen, suitable mainly for colder climates with air temperatures ranging from -10°C to 25°C. It replaces the old 80/100 penetration grade bitumen in these environments.

VG-30 bitumen is a medium viscosity grade bitumen suitable for hotter climates than VG-10, typically used in road construction where average temperatures exceed 30°C.

VG-40 bitumen is the highest viscosity grade commonly used in road construction, especially in regions with hot climates and heavy traffic loads such as highways.

Light diesel oil (LDO) is a fuel oil with viscosity and density between gasoline and heavy fuel oil, mainly used in industrial burners, boilers, and medium-speed diesel engines.

Its typical density ranges from about 0.82 to 0.87 grams per cubic centimetre (820 to 870 kg/m³) at 15°C. LDO has a high flash point, generally above 66°C, making it safer to handle and store. It is described as a cost-effective fuel option with moderate sulfur content and efficient combustion properties suitable for medium power applications.

Hot mix diesel refers to diesel fuel used in applications requiring high temperature performance, such as hot mix asphalt plants and heavy machinery in road construction. It is typically heated to maintain fluidity and ensure efficient combustion under elevated temperatures.

The catalogue does not print a separate density, flash point or sulfur figure for hot mix diesel.
