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.
-
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..

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.

Goodness We Are Through With Chemistry Class Above
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,
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
- Testing
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.
