Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a substance that forms through the distillation of crude oil. Bitumen production through distillation removes lighter crude oil components, such as gasoline and diesel, leaving the “heavier” bitumen behind. The producer often refines it several times to improve its grade. It has waterproofing and adhesive properties, thus warranting its use in different types of long term construction projects.

Diesel Fuel
Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, is a combustible liquid used as fuel for diesel engines, ordinarily obtained from fractions of crude oil that are less volatile than the fractions used in gasoline. Diesel fuel releases more energy on combustion than equal volumes of gasoline, so diesel engines generally produce better fuel economy than gasoline engines. In addition, the production of diesel fuel requires fewer refining steps than gasoline, so retail prices of diesel fuel traditionally have been lower than those of gasoline.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a variety of hydrocarbons. Jet fuel is defined as a performance specification rather than a chemical compound. Jet fuels are sometimes classified as kerosene or naphtha-type. Kerosene-type fuels include Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5 and JP-8. Naphtha-type jet fuels, sometimes referred to as "wide-cut" jet fuel, include Jet B and JP-4.

Urea
Urea, otherwise referred to as carbamide, is readily produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide, is a vital chemical in the agricultural and the polymer industries. Urea is the world's most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer and indeed more urea is manufactured by mass than any other organic chemical. Containing 46% N, it is the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizer, and is readily available as free-flowing granules. It is the cheapest form of nitrogen fertilizer to transport and it is also the least likely to 'cake'. It is therefore favored in developing countries.
Ethylene glycol is a clear, sweet, slightly viscous liquid that boils at 198 °C. Its most common use is as an automotive antifreeze. A 1:1 solution of ethylene glycol and water boils at 129 °C and freezes at −37 °C, serving as an excellent coolant in automotive radiators.

Base Oil
Base Oil is the name given to lubrication grade oils initially produced from refining crude oil (mineral base oil) or through chemical synthesis (synthetic base oil). Base oil is typically defined as oil with a boiling point range between 285 °C and 565 °C, consisting of hydrocarbons with 18 to 40 carbon atoms. This oil can be either paraffinic or napthenic in nature depending on the chemical structure of the molecules.
