Vickers Oils started trading in 1828 and remains a private, independent company, now led by the 5th and 6th generations of the Vickers family to work in the company.

We enjoy a worldwide reputation as a reliable and innovative supplier of high performance, speciality lubricants, which are supported by our dedicated customer service team, offering customers ‘one to one’ technical support.

In 2002, Vickers Oils launched the world’s first biodegradable marine sterntube oil and now supply thousands of vessels with our award-winning range of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) delivered globally to over 60 counties and regional stock points worldwide.

Now, as we approach 200 years in business, we are excited to deliver this dedication to quality and service across a new range of products, setting a new standard for the industrial, food and beverage industries.

The H1 classification is the industry standard for lubricants intended for use in applications where there is potential for incidental food contact.

Such incidental contact is limited to a trace amount; it must not exceed 10 parts per million (0.001%), otherwise food is deemed unsafe for consumption.

H1 lubricant formulations may only contain certain base stocks, additives and thickeners as specified by FDA regulations 21 CFR 178.3750.

H3 lubricants are typically used as a release agent in food production to clean and protect hooks, trolleys. grills and other such related equipment which will come into direct contact with food.

H3 lubricants may only contain edible oils that satisfy FDA 21 CFR 172.860 (such as corn, soybean or cottonseed oils), certain mineral oils that meet FDA 21 CFR 172.878 and oils generally recognised as safe (GRAS) under either FDA 21 CFR 182 or FDA 21 CFR 184.
