Large Self Defense Pepper Spray

When you think of pepper spray you generally picture a small metal can that can be hidden in your bag or behind the folds of a jacket and removed at the optimum time to thwart vicious attacks. However as crimes become more and more frequent and on a larger scale, so increases the need for larger pepper cans that contain more of this highly useful chemical compound.

These are called large volume pepper sprays that contain 9oz and more of the product. These canisters can even contain as much as 1 pound of self defense spray. so as to ensure heavy-duty protection against intruders. Regular pepper cans, guns and lipsticks contain from 10-15 % of OC but the large volume canisters contain up to 18% of OC making this product more powerful. Also the larger canisters contain up to 75 one-second bursts of pepper spray.

These large cans are not ideally suited for personal use, like when riding a bike or when walking along a roadside because the bottles are too big to be hidden. These are more useful to defend homes, stores and offices against attack. In shops, it can be kept behind the cash register or counter so that in case of emergencies it is easily accessible.

These one-pound canisters are more harmful because they are effective against a large number of assailants and can produce enough OC to keep them at bay. If it is just one attacker that is blasted with this heavy-duty can it will keep him incapacitated for a longer time than regular models would, which would be close to an hour. This stronger canister also has more dire effects on the attacker. Its reaction with skin is faster and it immediately reaches the skin pores and causes distorted vision and more importantly disturbs the respiratory system.

The reason the larger cans are more effective is simply because the combination of a high amount of OC with more than 3 Scoville heat peppers are used. They can be compared to a fire extinguisher to describe the thick stream of fog that emanates from them when sprayed.

While these large bottles of are extremely effective for individuals to keep their homes, shops and cars safe they also serve an even greater purpose when they are used by law enforcement.
