PEPPERS and is the newest defensive spray
agent. It is not an irritant like the tear gases,
but an inflammatory agent. Contact with
mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat and
lungs) will cause IMMEDIATE dilation of the
capillaries of the eyes, resulting in
TEMPORARY BLINDNESS and instant
inflammation of the breathing tube tissues,
cutting off ALL BUT LIFE-SUPPORT
BREATHING. OC will not deteriorate with
age and unlike the tear gases, WILL NOT
CAUSE LASTING AFTEREFFECTS.

One of the biggest misconceptions about defense spray is that the higher
the percentage, the hotter and better it works. In most cases this could
not be further from the truth. Most of the best, fastest incapacitating
sprays in the world are from 2%-10%. The lighter the fluid, the faster is
penetrates the membranes. The percentage has nothing to do with the
actual SHU or "hot" in the spray. Also, thicker sprays can inflame the skin
area more and last longer with this unnecessary inflammation. A good
spray will put the attacker down and out allowing you to escape or take
control of the situation.
Because it is an inflammatory, rather
than an irritant, OC is effective against all
those who feel no pain such as
psychotics, drunks and drug abusers.
OC has proven itself to be the
ABSOLUTE BEST DETERRENT available
ABSOLUTE BEST DETERRENT available
for attacking dogs and wild animal
control. Another major advantage of
OC is that it is not volatile and will not
emit a lot of fumes like tear gases.

Back in 1912, a pharmacologist named Wilbur Scoville came up with the standard for measuring the power of
capsaicin. Called the Scoville Organoleptic Test, it was needed to calculate the temperature of peppers used in many
pharmaceutical products of the time (such as "Heat" which was used for the relief of sore muscles, arthritis pain and
muscular sprains). Scoville measured the ground pepper into a mixture of sugar, water and alcohol. Then, a panel of
five tasters sipped the mixture and gave it a grade; it took a majority of three to assign a value.
Today, the value is established through high technology, a computerized method called high-performance liquid
chromatography. The pepper scale ranges from zero Scoville unit for a bell pepper to 5,000 or so for a jalapeno to a
whopping 200,000 - 300,000 for a habanero! Pure capsaicin is 15,000,000. The oleoresin capsicum used in a
superior pepper spray formula is derived from the hottest peppers and further processed and refined until the heat
rating is 5,300,000 (5.3 million!).

The term OC (oleoresin capsicum) is a
horticultural term which refers to chili
peppers. There are many different
kinds of chili peppers ranging from
jalapenos, chiletpin, and cayenne to
habaneros. They all have one thing in
common. They all contain a substance
that is very powerful -- an alkaloid called
capsaicin (cap-say-a-sin). Just a single
drop of tasteless and odorless capsaicin
in 100,000 drops of water and the heat
can be noticeable. In fact, capsaicin can
be detected by humans at one part per
ten million.
Capsaicinoids are produced by
a gland in the pepper's
placenta, which is the top
partition just below the stem.
This is also where the seeds are
attached. The placenta is
about 16 times stronger than
any other part of the plant,
any OC spray worth its salt will
use its active ingredient made
from this part.
