Pepper spray enables
you to defend yourself while keeping
a safe distance from an attacker. A
one second burst to the face will cause
temporary blindness, choking, coughing,
and nausea-bringing the attacker to
his knees. The active ingredient in
Damsel In Defense pepper spray is Oleoresin
Capsicum (O.C.), commonly referred to
as red pepper. When considering which
pepper spray is most effective, one
must consider the percentage of pepper
being used and the heat rating of that
pepper (measured in Scoville Heat Units
or S.H.U.). At 18% and two million S.H.U.,
Damsel In Defense pepper spray is one
of the hottest, most powerful brands
in the world. The potency of this spray
enables it to bring down even the most
aggressive assailants.
The Mace brand pepper spray we carry
is 10% O.C. and two million S.H.U.
What is SHU?
The Scoville Heat Units (SHU) scale was
devised by Wilbur Scoville in 1912 as
a measure of the hotness of a chile pepper.
The SHU scale in regards to pepper spray
indicates the amount of oleoresin capsicum
(OC) present, but more importantly the
heat and thus irritation the pepper spray
delivers. Pepper spray comes in variety
of dilution percentages featuring a variety
of Scoville Heat Units. When seconds count,
it is our contention, the hotter the SHU
rating of the pepper spray, the better
the results. A one second blast to the
face of an assailant with our 2 million
SHU Damsel In Defense Pepper Spray will
induce immediate coughing, choking and
nausea as well as dilating the eye capillaries
resulting in diminished vision. In addition,
2 million SHU pepper spray causes the
attackers mucous membranes to swell resulting
in difficulty in breathing and causes
an intense burning skin sensation. A one
second blast of 2 million SHU pepper spray
delivers you from harm's way and can affect
an attacker for up to 60 minutes without
causing permanent damage.
History of Pepper Spray
Derived from the cayenne pepper plant,
oleoresin capsicum (OC) or pepper spray
first came to prominence via the US Postal
Service in the early 1980’s as a
dog repellent. By the end of the decade
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies
had introduced pepper spray to their field
operatives as a non-lethal weapon ideal
in subduing crime suspects. Today pepper
spray is successfully used by millions
of law enforcement and non-law enforcement
people in the US and throughout the world.
How Pepper Spray works
Pepper spray is simply that, cayenne
pepper in spray form. Pepper spray’s
active ingredient is OC or oleoresin capsicum.
The OC is derived from Cayenne peppers,
which are some of the hottest peppers
in the world. Extraction of oleoresin
capsicum OC from peppers involves finely
ground capsicum, then the capsaicin is
extracted in an organic solvent such as
ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated,
and the remaining wax like resin is the
oleoresin capsicum. Pepper Spray OC is
a highly inflammatory agent. Contact with
eyes, nose, throat and lungs cause immediate
dilation of the capillaries. This can
result in temporary blindness and instant
inflammation of the breathing tube tissues
and systematically cuts of all but life
support breathing. Pepper spray will also
create an intense burning sensation on
the surface of the skin. However, pepper
spray will cause no lasting after effects.
The effects last from 15 to 60 minutes.
Because pepper spray is an inflammatory
agent and not an irritant it is effective
on those who feel no pain such as those
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Pepper spray cannot be shipped to MA,
MI, NY or WI, or via any air delivery
services (Overnight, 2 Day, etc.).
