trafikkstoff

Trafikkstoff is a term used in Nordic languages to refer to substances associated with road transport and traffic. It does not have a single, formal definition in widely used technical references, and its meaning can vary by country and discipline. Etymologically, the word combines trafikk (traffic) and stoff (substance).

In Norwegian and Swedish contexts, it is often used as a broad label for chemicals and materials encountered in the transport sector, including fuels, lubricants, road-treatment chemicals, and materials used in traffic safety and research.

Typical examples may include vehicle fuels (such as petrol and diesel, and alternative fuels), lubricants, fluids for road maintenance (for example anti-icing or de-icing liquids), road-marking paints, and substances used in traffic simulations or experimentation.

Regulation and safety: as a broad category, trafikkstoff is governed by general chemical, environmental, and transport regulations. Handling, storage, labeling, and disposal depend on national laws governing fuels, hazardous substances, and road-maintenance chemicals.
