It can be used to code all sorts of items such as jewellery, ornaments, electrical items and even motor vehicles. Each bottle contains a unique chemical ‘code’ which is registered to a named individual at an address – conclusively proving ownership. It cannot be easily seen by the naked eye and is almost impossible to remove.
