Discover what OC Pepper Spray is and why it is the best for Self Defense, by examining what came before and looking at how each effects the body.

1. What is OC Pepper Spray?
In order to answer the burning question, "what is OC pepper spray" and
thus discover why OC sprays is the best chemical component, let's first
take a look at what chemical components have been used in self
defense sprays over the years.

2. OC Pepper Spray There are actually three main chemical
compounds that have been and are used
in pepper sprays.
• CS (Ortho Chlorobenzalmalononitrile)
• CN (Alpha Chloroacetaphenone)
• OC (Oleoresin Capsicum)
The Newest of the Three and Most Effective!

3. CS and CN are irritants and irritate the
membrane tissues
CS (Ortho Chlorobenzalmalononitrile)
• Also Know As: Tear Gas
CN (Alpha Chloroacetaphenone)
• Also Know As: Mace tear gas

4. OC (Oleoresin Capsicum)
• The Newest of the chemical compounds used in Pepper Sprays.
• Heat Peak (SR: 500,000–15,000,000)

5. Why CS and CN are Not as Effective as OC…
• CS and CN are irritants and irritate the membrane tissues, which
causes a stinging pain and tearing of the eyes. The main down fall of
both of these two components is the time it takes for them to work,
between 5 to 30 seconds.
• Even 5 seconds is a lifetime when it comes to facing an attacker with a
weapon, like a knife. Since both CN and CS have been used in the
military and law enforcement for many years.

6. It has been proven that some
people can resist the effects of
CN and CS self defense spray
compounds.
Not Everyone was Effected by CN & CS
Sprays. Such as, Persons that are;
1. Intoxicated
2. On Drugs
3. Suffering from a Psychotic Episode
4. Not very Effected by Pain

7. Military Training • For the many years that CN and CS
were used by law enforcement
officers they were riddled with
accounts of total failure when these
products were deployed.
• These factors have all lead to the
conclusion that these chemicals
were far too unreliable for use by an
untrained or possible physically
limited individual. Thus not
appropriate for personal self defense
and security.
CN & CS Proved Less Effective than OC
Pepper Spray during stressed situations.

8. OC pepper spray on the other hand is not an irritant, but instead it is
an inflammatory agent.
When OC is sprayed in the face of a would
be attacker two things happen instantly;
1. Their Eyes Slam Shut
2. Their Capillaries dilate
3. Vision is Severally Impaired causing
Temporary Blindness
4. Uncontrollable Coughing
5. Breathing Tissues are Inflamed restricting
air flown (they can breathe, but it's limited)

9. OC pepper sprays basically create a wall
between you and the attacker.
• They stop what they were doing and stop what they were thinking. It
has been said by a pepper spray trainer that, "It is like being hit with a
flame thrower".
• Unlike its counter parts, OC pepper works on those on drugs, drunk or
having a psychotic episode.

10. OC sprays works well on animals as well and there
have been defense sprays designed as both:
• OC Bear Spray • OC Dog Spray

11. Not only are CN and CS not as effective as OC
• They take longer to wear off. The chemical residue of the first two can
last for days. Also both are manmade chemicals and have been
identified as possible carcinogens. There is some documentation that
suggests long term toxic reactions may occur.

12. OC on the other hand is a natural made chemical
• Derived from different hot pepper plants, which is why it is often
referred to as pepper spray. It has not been shown to have any toxic
effects and wears off in 20 to 30 minutes.

13. Below is an OC Pepper Spray video I found where
a line of boys are sprayed with OC spray.
Look at the reactions and take into account that they knew it was coming and had their eyes closed.
An attacker would not have his eyes closed and most likely would not be prepared for the effects.
