Petroleum Oils and Waxes
Colour is an important indicator of type and quality of oils. In some cases, colour is used to mark and recognise fuels. Others, such as food quality waxes, need to be colourless. Lovibond® have spent decades helping the industry to measure colour consistently.

A Distinguished History in Food and Drink
Lovibond® has its origins in the brewing industry and we have been measuring colour since 1880. Joseph Lovibond was the first person in the world to develop a practical colorimeter to ensure the high quality of his beer. He was the originator of the Lovibond® scale. We still use the scale as our company logo today. Still a family owned business but now global, at Lovibond® we value our heritage.
