BEAR DETERRENT PEPPER SPRAY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FACT SHEET

No Bear Spray Hotter!
Pepper Power Bear Deterrent’s active ingredients is measured at 2.0% Capsaicin and Related Capsaicinoids (CRC). This is the highest % value recommended for Bear Deterrent by the EPA.

Definitions Below

The active ingredients are measured by the actual chemical hotness of the pepper, which is the CRC. Pepper Powers’s Bear Deterrent is rated at the maximum the EPA recommends, on which is 2.0%. This produces about 3 million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) of stopping power. Our Bear Deterrents contain about 10% OC. This 10% is a measurement of the OC in the can, not the hotness of the spray. The EPA does NOT recognize nor allow labeling the measurement of bear spray hotness by OC or SHU ratings. The latest most accurate means accepted for evaluating true hotness is by testing the amount of CRCs present in a spray. Another way to look at this is: Of the 10% OC --20% are active ingredients.

We have chosen the above balances of CRCs and propellant for a sophisticated dispersal system in our sprays to get the active ingredients out with a sudden hissing sound creating a billowing pepper cloud that is slow to dissipate, making it a more effective means of stopping an attack. We also utilize the most advanced technologies and products in producing both our bear deterrents and our personal sprays, in order to generate quality products that consumers can feel secure in using.

DEFINITIONS

CRC – “Capsaicin and related Capsaicinoids” are the chemical components of peppers that make them hot. Measuring by CRC’s is a laboratory conducted and very accurate test for gauging hotness.

OC – “Oleoresin Capsicum” is the oil extracted from the pepper that contains within it the capsaicin and related capsaicinoids. Appearance is a redish brown liquid.

SHU – “Scoville Heat Units” were invented in 1912 by a pharmacist named Wilbur Scoville. These units measure the amount of capsaicin (the chemical that provides the heat) in a pepper. Measuring by SHU’s (Scoville Heat Units) is a subjective taste test.

PROPELLANT – The liquid propellant 134A is used to ensure a safe and effective means of discharging the active ingredients in the sprays. Vapor Pressure: 96 lbs. at 77F

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is the oil that comes out of the pepper plant. Capsaicin is the chemical that is measured in the OC. Therefore, the active ingredients are the capsaicin and related capsaicinoids. Our bear sprays are approximately 10% OC of 3 million SHU. 20% of the OC is Capsaicin and related capsaicinoids, making the active ingredient rated at 2.0%. Bear sprays must be between 1.0% and 2.0% Capsaicin and related capsaicinoids.
