Mace Pepper Sprays are formulated to be a safe, effective, and less-than-lethal means of self-defense. The active ingredient in Mace Pepper Spray is Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), a natural component derived from hot peppers. Upon direct facial contact, OC Pepper causes the eyes to slam shut, triggers coughing, and creates an intense burning sensation on the skin, accompanied by extreme discomfort in the vision and respiratory system. These effects typically subside within approximately 45 minutes.

To ensure maximum effectiveness and range, it is recommended to prepare the Pepper Spray for immediate use by giving it a few rapid shakes before taking aim and discharging it at your attacker. The Pepper Spray can be quickly dispensed by using your thumb or forefinger to depress the trigger in short 2 to 3 second bursts. Continuous depression of the trigger will also allow for a continuous discharge of the Pepper Spray.

It is important to note that Pepper Spray is a strong irritant and should be kept out of the reach of children. Before using, it is essential to read the instructions and first-aid directions included with the product. If accidentally exposed to Pepper Spray, the affected areas should be flushed with plenty of cool water, and the individual should be exposed to fresh air as soon as possible. Any contaminated contact lenses or clothing should be removed immediately.

Proper storage of Pepper Spray canisters is crucial. They should be kept in cool, dry areas away from heat, flame, or strong sunlight. Storing the canisters in temperatures above 120°F/50°C, such as in an enclosed vehicle, can cause them to leak due to overpressurization and fail to function properly. Conversely, storing them in cold environments below 32°F/0°C can lead to depressurization and a loss of effective range.

Mace Pepper Spray has an approximate shelf-life of 4 years, and each unit is labeled with an expiration date. Expired units may have reduced effectiveness, loss of range, or fail to function, and should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
