What is Pepper Spray? OC is a
derivative of HOT CAYENNE
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 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.
