Pepper sprays are a non-lethal and humane form of self defense. Most Mace pepper sprays are easy enough to carry for any situation: put it on a key chain before you go out, carry it with you while walk through campus at night or keep one in your pocket while you jog on deserted pathways.

We have several varieties of pepper sprays and gels, so it is important to know the difference so you can decide which one is right for you.

Choose the right Pepper spray for you

 

Pepper Mace ®, PepperGard®, and Pepper Foam

contain oleoresin capsicum—a naturally occurring substance derived from hot peppers. OC Pepper causes an intense burning sensation to the skin, eyes and throat upon contact. Some formulations also contain UV dye to invisibly mark an assailant which may aid in identification.

 

Pepper Gel ®

is a 1.4% capsaicinoids concentration suspended in a sticky gel rather than the liquid of our regular pepper sprays. The gel sprays farther than our other sprays. Pepper Gel contains UV dye to invisibly mark an assailant which may aid in identification.

 

Double Action Pepper Spray formula

combines CS tear gas (orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile)— an irritant intended to cause profuse tearing of the eyes, an intense burning sensation to the skin and shortness of breath—with UV dye to invisibly mark an assailant which may aid in identification.

 

Triple Action Pepper Spray formula

is a blend of oleoresin capsicum and tear gas. The OC Pepper causes the eyes to slam shut and uncontrollable choking. The tear gas causes profuse tearing and disorientation. The combination of the two agents produces a powerful self defense spray. This formula also contains UV dye.
