JUST THE FACTS!
MAJOR CAPSAICINOIDS (MC)
This is what makes your OC spray hot! MC delivers pain, irritation, inflammation, coughing, temporary blindness and redness of skin. Measured via High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), MC is the only accurate strength indicator. MC represents the strength of the entire formulation or the spray which is projected from your canister. OC effectiveness increases with sprays containing higher MC content.
SCOVILLE HEAT UNITS (SHU)
Don’t believe the hype. SHU only measure the strength of raw OC which by the way is diluted from 90 to 98% percent!
OLEORESIN CAPSICUM (OC) PERCENTAGE
Only measures the amount of OC within the formulation. Who cares how much you use if it is not hot?

If you insist on knowing the true SHU of your OC spray, multiply the OC percentage by raw SHU. For example, 10% OC, 2,000,000 SHU equals 200,000 SHU (2,000,000 x .10 = 200,000 SHU).
