Frequently
Asked Questions About Pepper Spray
How
to Buy the Right Pepper Spray
Keychain
Pepper Sprays are easily carried and accessible since
you can have your keys in your hand to and from your vehicle
or residence.
If you are planning on carrying a Pepper Spray unit while
you exercise (such as walking, jogging, bicycling) you
might want to consider a Pepper Spray with a belt clip.
These are easily accessible if surprised by an attacker
while you are out and about.
For home or auto use, there are Several Larger Pepper
Spray models that contain more chemical and can be available
to you whether you are on a long road trip or your vehicle
breaks down.
If you would rather carry Pepper Spray in a Covert Canister,
the Pepper Pen, Lipstick Pepper Spray or Pepper Pager
are perfect disguises for hiding the Pepper Defense Spray
in plain sight.
How
to Use Pepper Spray
First
of all, your Pepper Spray will not be effective unless
you are aware of your surroundings and attacker.
It's important to pay attention to what is going on around
you and always keep your Pepper Spray close by.
Be aware of the criminal who is looking for an easy target
or is acting suspicious.
When approached by an attacker, place the Pepper Spray
in your dominant hand.
Keep your non-shooting hand stretched out in front of
you to keep distance from the attacker.
Aim the Pepper Spray towards the attacker's face while
moving backwards away from them.
At the same time yell 'HELP' or 'RAPE' as loud as you
can so that attention is immediately diverted to your
situation.
Continue utilizing the Pepper Spraying or be ready to
Spray again until the attacker has stopped advancing.
Then
at the first chance get away from there as fast as you
can.
Contact the police immediately........
Definition
of Pepper Spray
Pepper
Spray is an aerosol spray used for Self Defense.
Pepper Spray is a Defense Spray that consists of a concentrated
agent injected into a canister and sprayed in either Stream,
Fogger or Foam by Aerosol.
The concentrated agent is Oleoresin Capsicum. Oleoresin
Capsicum is extracted from chili peppers and is the chemical
that gives peppers their hot quality. That is why it is
called Pepper Spray
Oleoresin
Capsicum is known as "OC" for short. That is why Pepper
Spray is commonly referred to as OC Pepper Spray.
Mace is a brand name that carries a registered trademark
owned by Mace Security International. Mace originally
marketed a particular Tear Gas Self Defense Peppr Spray.
Mace brand Defense Pepper sprays either contain OC Pepper
Spray, Tear Gas or Both.
Our
Company Self Defense Technology Sells BOTH.. Reference Our
Home Page Above..
How
is Pepper Spray Made
Pepper
Spray is derived from hot peppers. The oils are extracted
from the HOT Peppers using a high-pressure process. This
process leaves you with the active ingredient in Pepper
Spray known as Oleoresin Capsicum, or "OC." OC is a reddish-orange,
oily liquid, insoluble in water.
The pure Pepper extract is then diluted with an inert ingredient
that reduces the "hotness" of the extract to get it down
to a useable level for Pepper Spray.
What
is Tear Gas?
There
are three major chemicals used as Tear Gases: CS, and CN
and
CR
The first two are CS and CN, short for orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile
and chloroacetophenone, respectively.
A third, code named CR (dibenz(b,f)-1,4-oxazepin), has not
come into civilian use.
Both CS and CN tear gas are synthesized chemicals known
as lachrymators.
A lachrymator is a substance that produces profuse tearing.
At standard temperature and pressure, these chemicals are
actually white crystals with fairly low vapor pressures,
not gasses, and they are not very soluble in water.
In
order to disperse them, they are suspended in a liquid carrier
and aerosolized.

Pepper
Spray vs. Tear Gas
Pepper
Spray is not Tear Gas and Tear Gas is not Pepper Spray.
But both can be used as a Defense Spray.
Two important differences between Pepper Spray and Tear
Gas are: Tear Gas is an irritant and therefore its effectiveness
relies mainly on pain compliance. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory
agent
The
response to contact with Pepper Spray is involuntary which
makes Pepper Spray a very effective weapon against drug
or alcohol impaired assailants or animals that may not respond
to pain.
Tear Gas has a high level of toxicity and OC Pepper Spray
is totally non-toxic.
As Doug Lamb writes in "Tactical Use of Defense Sprays"
- When a person is sprayed with OC pepper spray, two things
happen instantly.
First, the person's eyes clamp shut hard. Not only that,
but if that person does manage to force his eyes open, the
person still cannot see because the OC dilates the capillaries
and causes temporary blindness.
Second, an immediate fit of uncontrollable coughing doubles
the person over because the OC causes instant inflammation
of the breathing tissues, restricting all but life support
breathing.
An assailant who is sprayed with OC stops what he is doing
and stops what he is thinking. This is true even for those
who are drunk, on drugs, or psychotic.

All
Pepper Sprays Are NOT the Same
No,
NO, NOT all Pepper Sprays are not the same.
Pepper Sprays are rated in two ways:
Percentage of Oleoresin Capsicum in the agent itself,(WILDFIRE
18% Pepper Spray)and the "Hotness" of the spray, which is
measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU's)(WILDFIRE 18% Pepper
Spray is 3 to 4 Million).
The percentage of OC has nothing to do with the SHU rating,
and vice versa.
The Percentage of OC is important.
The
SHU rating should be taken into account the most.
For
Example, a Pepper Spray with 2,000,000 SHU's is twice as
hot as a Pepper Spray with 1,000,000 SHU's.
2,000,000 SHU's is a substantial rating for an effective
Pepper Spray. Wildfire 18% is even Higher at 3 to 4 Million
SHU's.
The
Physical Effects of Pepper Spray
Pepper
Spray has four physiological effects that may be experienced:
Eyes - Tearing, Involuntary Closing or Complete Closing
Due to Dilation of the Eye Capillaries.
Eyes
will appear red/bloodshot for 30 to 60 minutes. People wearing
Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses will be Equally Affected.
Respiratory System - Immediate Inflammation, including swelling
of the throat lining which can restrict the airway size.
Respiratory functions return to normal within 10 to 45 minutes.
The airway will be open enough to allow for sufficient oxygen
flow for survival.
Due to the reduced airway flow, the person will probably
not receive enough oxygen to continue fighting or other
sustained physical exertion. Temporary paralysis of the
larynx.
Uncontrollable Coughing, Retching, and Gasping for Air with
a Gagging Sensation in the Throat.
Effect on the skin - Inflammation of the exposed skin with
a Burning Sensation. Effects on muscle coordination - Pepper
Spray exposure may cause a person to lose balance due to
the effect of Pepper Spray on Vision.
SPECIAL
NOTES FOR THE PROPER USE OF PEPPER SPRAY
Test
your Defense Pepper Spray every 90 days.
First go outside and determine which direction the wind
is blowing.
Remember to always stand upwind from the direction you are
spraying.
Depress the firing mechanism for ½ second.
This test should be performed upon purchase and every 90
days after that.
Be aware that every time you test your Pepper Sprays you
reduce the contents of the canister.
If you are using a key chain model and you test regularly
you will need to replace the unit every 9 to 12 months if
you follow the recommended testing procedure above.
Most
Pepper Sprays have an expiration date stamped on the canister,
usually 3 to 4 years from the time of manufacture.
Although the spray life is indefinite it does start to lose
potency over time.
Any use of the Pepper Spray beyond the expiration date is
highly unadvisable.
We strongly advise you to replace your Pepper Spray long
before the expiration date.
That way you are always assured of the potency of the Pepper
Spray.
Take your old Pepper Spray to a safe place and target practice
with it.
Become familiar with how far it will spray, how to unlock
it, etc.
When practicing with your Defensive Pepper Spray, be aware
of air movements and wind patterns and be very careful not
to contaminate yourself.
