How to Buy the Right Pepper Spray

  1. Keychain Pepper Sprays are easily carried and accessible since you can have your keys in your hand to and from your vehicle or residence.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

Definition of Pepper Spray

  1. Pepper Spray is an aerosol spray used for Self Defense.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. Oleoresin Capsicum is known as "OC" for short. That is why Pepper Spray is commonly referred to as OC Pepper Spray.
  5. 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.
  6. Mace brand Defense Pepper sprays either contain OC Pepper Spray, Tear Gas or Both.

Our Company Self Defense Technology Sells BOTH..

How is Pepper Spray Made

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. There are three major chemicals used as Tear Gases: CS, and CN and CR
  2. The first two are CS and CN, short for orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile and chloroacetophenone, respectively.
  3. A third, code named CR (dibenz(b,f)-1,4-oxazepin), has not come into civilian use.
  4. Both CS and CN tear gas are synthesized chemicals known as lachrymators.
  5. A lachrymator is a substance that produces profuse tearing.
  6. 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.
  7. In order to disperse them, they are suspended in a liquid carrier and aerosolized.

Pepper Spray vs. Tear Gas

  1. Pepper Spray is not Tear Gas and Tear Gas is not Pepper Spray.
  2. But both can be used as a Defense Spray.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Tear Gas has a high level of toxicity and OC Pepper Spray is totally non-toxic.
  6. As Doug Lamb writes in "Tactical Use of Defense Sprays" - When a person is sprayed with OC pepper spray, two things happen instantly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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

  1. No, NOT all Pepper Sprays are not the same.
  2. Pepper Sprays are rated in two ways:
  3. 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).
  4. The percentage of OC has nothing to do with the SHU rating, and vice versa.
  5. The Percentage of OC is important.
  6. The SHU rating should be taken into account the most.
  7. 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.
  8. 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

  1. Pepper Spray has four physiological effects that may be experienced: Eyes - Tearing, Involuntary Closing or Complete Closing Due to Dilation of the Eye Capillaries.
  2. Eyes will appear red/bloodshot for 30 to 60 minutes. People wearing Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses will be Equally Affected.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Uncontrollable Coughing, Retching, and Gasping for Air with a Gagging Sensation in the Throat.
  6. 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.
