Why use SmartWater?
Some 25,000 churches and other heritage buildings are currently using SmartWater to protect lead and other metals from thieves. Unlike DNA-based property markers, which fade in sunlight, SmartWater is made of robust metal-based inert chemicals. The forensic code within SmartWater can withstand direct, long-term exposure to sunlight, UV and bleaching, making it the perfect tool for outdoor use. SmartWater is partnering with the scrap metal dealers and recyclers, who are equipping themselves with UV lights to scan for traces of SmartWater. SmartWater personnel are also attending Police-led ‘stop and search’ raids at scrap yards to proactively search for SmartWater marked metals. This activity is having a major impact on criminals by making it increasingly difficult for them to sell on stolen goods and heightening their fear of arrest. So when thieves see the SmartWater deterrent signage outside your Church, they will stay away. For more information, and to order a SmartWater Forensic Cod
