Now I'm curious and will inquire to one of our suppliers.

There is a write up on oateys website...

There are all kinds of cements
Higher temp rating/pipe diameter is the biggest difference for the pvc cements. You'll be fine
up to 2 inch, with any pvc cement..aside from say the orange (cpvc) or the abs transition gunk.
