Formulations: Heat, Strength and the Law
Because human pepper sprays are not government-regulated, manufacturers can make unchecked, exaggerated claims implying their sprays are more effective than they are.
The truth is that SABRE is the only pepper spray manufacturer that controls and guarantees formula strength! SABRE’s exclusive HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) Guarantee means their pepper sprays never fail due to inconsistent heat levels. No other brand can make the same claim.
So don't be fooled by misleading numbers.
Know that the following claims could be deceiving:
OC Percentage
Some brands hope you believe a higher OC percentage means a more effective spray. But this number only measures the amount of pepper within the spray, not the heat strength or effectiveness.
Scoville Heat Units (SHU)
Some brands advertise the SHU of the raw pepper, not of the pepper spray formulation. The SHU of the raw peppers is highly diluted in the pepper spray formula, and therefore not an accurate indicator of strength.
Major capsaicinoids are the true heat measure and can only be guaranteed through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing - and, again, SABRE is the only brand that does. The only portion of pepper sprays that are government regulated (by the EPA & Health Canada) are animal pepper sprays. Dog sprays range from 0.25% to 1.0% major capsaicinoids and bear sprays range from 1.0% to 2.0% major capsaicinoids.
WARNING: Do not purchase pepper spray without checking its content of major capsaicinoids.
