Triple Action is a blend of OC Pepper, CN Tear Gas and UV Ultra-Violet dye. This formula combines the coughing, irritation and watery eyes of Tear Gas and the eye-shutting, "burning" effect of Pepper to disorient an attacker. The spray should be aimed at the face of an attacker.

PepperGard and Pepper Mace are 10% OC Pepper solutions with UV Ultraviolet dye. Pepper Sprays cause the eyes of an attacker to slam shut, create an intense burning sensation to affected areas and disorient an attacker. The spray should be aimed at the face of an attacker.

Pepper Foam is a 10% OC Pepper formulation with UV Ultra-Violet dye that sprays in a thick foam. The foam acts to "blindfold" and disorient an attacker and cause the same "burning" and closing of the eyes as traditional liquid pepper sprays. The spray should be aimed at the face of an attacker.

Aerosol Defense Sprays are meant for defensive purposes only are can only be sold to or used by persons 18 years of age or older.

OC pepper is generally measured in terms of Scoville Heat Units (SHU's) or on a percentage basis. For example, one spray might be 10% 500,000 SHU while another is 5% 1,000,000 SHU. Either spray will be effective in most cases.

11. How effective is my defense spray?
Aerosol defense sprays are effective in most, but not all situations. Attackers under the influence of drugs or alcohol or people with special training, i.e. military or martial arts training may not be affected as others.
