The
original, patented, fully tested OC formulation. Over many years of
safe, effective use, First Defense has proven itself as the pepper
spray of choice for law-enforcement and corrections the world over.
FIRST DEFENSE® OC
Formulation was created to provide the safest OC aerosol
on the market. Today it's the most widely used pepper spray in law
enforcement and corrections throughout the world. Three out of four
police departments choose First Defense® OC Aerosols by Defense
Technology—not only for their proven effectiveness, but
because they are the only such products backed by a comprehensive
effectiveness study, and the only products that address the
ever-growing concerns over health and environmental risks.
First Defense® Oleoresin
Capsicum is water-soluble. It is processed
further than oil-based OC to remove natural oils, waxes and fats;
yielding a formulation that is clear of color and consistent in its
potency. At 500,000 SHU, it’s also the hottest, water-soluble
OC available. Based on their extensive research, Defense Technology has
determined that their 0.2% capsaicinoid level is optimum for consistent
effectiveness. But because First Defense’s water-soluble OC
formula decontaminates more easily then oil-based solutions, it's not
so excessive that decontamination time or simplicity is compromised.
Aimable stream delivery. The First Defense
MK-6 aerosol can deploy a target-specific 10-12 ft. stream for
controlled delivery with minimal cross contamination. This also
provides a safer margin of effective distance with less chance of
disturbance by wind or rain compared to alternate delivery system.
Non-flammable, environmentally friendly, simple to
clean. First
Defense OC Aerosols use only food-grade formulations and safe nitrogen
propellant, making them completely non-flammable and biologically
sound. They contain no HCFCs or
CFCs. And because
First Defense is water-soluble, it allows relatively easy clean-up and
decontamination of skin and surfaces, using soap and water or just a
damp cloth. Clothing and fabrics can be cleaned by machine washing or
dry cleaning. Airborne OC can be cleared from buildings with simple
ventilation.

SAFE AND EASY TO USE: A protective,
spring-loaded black plastic safety cover is attached to the upper
portion of the outer casing above the actuator. The Flip Top actuator
assists in directional holding, aiming, and discharging of the device
during all light conditions. The cover prevents accidental discharge of
the unit and conveniently moves out of the way with the approach of the
thumb or finger to permit easy access to the actuator. No separate
lifting motion is required to activate the device.
INDIVIDUALLY SERIALIZED: Wear and
water-resistant labels affixed to all units permit easy identification.
Lot numbers for formulation are present for quality assurance tracking.
WARNING:
Aerosol products described here are intended to be used by authorized
and trained Law Enforcement, Correction, Military, and responsible
civilian customers. Professionals and customers are expected to know
their state's regulations regarding carry and use of these products.
Additional product information and training is available from Defense
Technology/Federal Laboratories. Handle, store and use with care and
