    The original formulation consisted of 1% CN gas in a solvent of sec-butanol, propylene glycol, cyclohexene, and dipropylene
    glycol methyl ether. Some formulations now also include Oleoresin Capsicum (active ingredient in pepper spray).

    Mace was originally manufactured under the name "Chemical Mace" by Lake Erie Chemical (a former division of Smith &
    Wesson) in 1962, but is now a registered trademark of Mace Security International. The Mace sold today by Mace Security
    International is pepper spray rather than tear gas. Many other companies now manufacture similar products.

    Mace vs. Pepper Spray
    Due to the current brand-name use of the term "Mace" to refer to pepper sprays and the fact that mace is illegal in most
    Western countries, it is very difficult to find information on traditional mace. "Mace" and "Pepper Spray" are frequently used
    interchangeably.


    Most law enforcement agencies require that their personnel become certified on similar aerosol spray devices such as pepper
    spray before using them in the field. In some agencies, such as the FBI, chemically inactive versions of the spray are also
    available for training purposes.


    An Icelandic police officer recovering from being "maced" with training grade spray. The effect of Mace varies on humans. Most
    common is a burning sensation on the area affected with the spray (described by some as "having your face drenched in
    gasoline and lit on fire"). If in contact with eyes it causes automatic closing of the eyes due to intense pain if open. This along
    with a feeling of suffocating if inhaled it causes the person to be very vulnerable and dependent, resulting in easy overpowering
    (for example, law enforcement officials over a suspect). Effects can be minimal on those under the influence of alcohol or
    drugs. The duration of the effects vary from 30 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on the person and treatment.


    Mace in History
    During the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks Mace was supposedly used by the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11 to
    prevent entry to the first-class area and keep passengers at the rear of the plane. The official 9/11 Commission Report states
    that "The hijackers quickly gained control and sprayed Mace, pepper spray, or some other irritant in the first-class cabin, in
    order to force the passengers and flight attendants toward the rear of the plane.

    Pepper spray
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Pepper spray (also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, capsicum spray, or oleoresin capsicum) is a
    lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) that is
    used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears. It is a non-lethal
    agent that can be deadly in rare cases. The American Civil Liberties Union claims to have documented fourteen fatalities from
    the use of pepper spray.[1] The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of
    plants in the Capsicum genus, including chiles. Long-term effects of pepper spray have not been effectively researched.

    The HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin within pepper
    sprays. Scoville Heat Units (SHU) are used to measure the hotness of pepper spray.

    A synthetic analogue of capsaicin, pelargonic acid vanillylamide (desmethyldihydrocapsaicin), is used in another version of
    pepper spray known as PAVA spray which is used in England. Another synthetic counterpart of pepper spray, pelargonic acid
    morpholide, was developed and is widely used in Russia. Its effectiveness compared to natural pepper spray is unclear and it
    has caused some injuries.

    Pepper spray typically comes in canisters, which are often small enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse.
    Pepper spray can also be bought concealed in items such as rings. There are also Pepper-spray projectile available, which
    can be fired from a paintball gun.

    Effects
    Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent, not an irritant like Mace. It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing,
    runny nose, and coughing. The duration of the effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts
    around thirty to forty-five minutes, with mitigated effects lasting for hours.

    The Journal of Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science published a study that concluded that single exposure of the
    eye to OC is harmless, but repeated exposure can result in long-lasting changes in corneal sensitivity. They found no lasting
    decrease in visual acuity.[2]

    The European Parliament Scientific and Technological Options Assessment (STOA) published in 1998 “An Appraisal of
    Technologies of Political Control”[3] with extensive information on pepper spray and tear gas. They write:

    "The effects of pepper spray are far more severe, including temporary blindness which last from 15-30 minutes, a burning
    sensation of the skin which last from 45 to 60 minutes, upper body spasms which force a person to bend forward and
    uncontrollable coughing making it difficult to breathe or speak for between 3 to 15 minutes."
    For those with asthma, taking other drugs, or subject to restraining techniques which restrict the breathing passages, there is a
    risk of death. The Los Angeles Times has reported at least 61 deaths associated with police use of pepper spray since 1990 in
    the USA,[4] and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) documented 27 deaths in custody of people sprayed with pepper
    spray in California alone, since 1993.[5][6]

    The US Army concluded in a 1993 Aberdeen Proving Ground study that pepper spray could cause "Mutagenic effects,
    carcinogenic effects, sensitization, cardiovascular and pulmonary toxicity, neurotoxicity, as well as possible human fatalities.
    There is a risk in using this product on a large and varied population".[7] However, the pepper spray got the go ahead despite
    the reservations of the US military scientists after FBI tests gave it the all clear. It has subsequently been revealed that the head
    of the FBI's Less-Than lethal Weapons Programme, Special Agent Thomas W. W. Ward, took a $57,000 bribe from a
    peppergas manufacturer to give the Zarc product Capstun, the all clear.

    Deactivation and first aid


    Though there is no way of completely neutralizing pepper spray, its effect can be minimized or stopped. As veteran chili eaters
    know, capsaicin is not soluble in water, and even large volumes of water will have little to no effect. It is, however, soluble in fats
    and oils, so milk or detergents can be used to blunt its effects and wash it off. North American street medics use a non-toxic
    eyedrop solution of 1:1 water and aluminum hydroxide (Maalox) which helps neutralize pepper spray and relieve symptoms.

    Victims should be encouraged to blink vigorously in order to encourage tears, which will help flush the irritant from the eyes.
    Some of the oil can be washed off the face using a degreasing, non-oily soap such as a mild dish detergent, and a fan will
    provide some relief.

    Some "triple-action" pepper sprays also contain "tear gas" (CS gas), which can be neutralized with sodium metabisulfite
    (Campden tablets, used in homebrewing), though it, too, is fat-soluble and could be washed off to a degree with milk, and
    some contain a UV "blanketing" dye (little can be done against this, but its effects are not nearly as dramatic).

    Legality

    Internationally pepper spray is banned for use in war by the 1972 Biological Weapons convention but not for internal security
    use.

    In Australia it is classified as a prohibited weapon, and it is illegal for anyone other than police officers to carry a capsicum
    spray.

    In Canada it is classified as a restricted weapon[1], only Peace Officers (Police, Conservation Officers, CBSA, Bylaw Officers,
    Animal Control Officers, Special Constables, etc.) may legally carry pepper spray for use on humans. A number of dog and
    significantly stronger bear pepper sprays are legal to own. However, use of these items against humans will most likely result
    in the user being prosecuted.

    In Denmark possession of pepper spray is illegal for private citizens, but a trial period is currently in effect, where police officers
    in most metropolitan areas carry pepper spray as part of their standard equipment. This trial period has been initiated following
    the shooting (and often killing) of a number of mentally ill citizens who have behaved violently or in a threatening manner,
    leaving the police force in want of a defensive, non-lethal weapon.

    In Finland it is classified as a device governed by the firearm act and possession of pepper spray requires a license. Licenses
    are issued for defensive purposes and to individuals working job where such a device is needed such as the private security
    sector. Government organizations such as defense forces and police are exempt. Concentrations are also limited to 5% active
    ingredient in OC sprays and 2%/2% in combinations sprays such as CN/OC.

    In Germany privately owned pepper spray may fall into two different categories. Sprays that bear the test mark of the
    Materialprüfungsanstalt[10] may be owned and carried solely for the purpose of defense against animals. Such sprays are not
    legally considered as weapons. Sprays that do not bear this test mark are classified as prohibited weapons. It is nevertheless
    strictly prohibited to carry pepper spray at (or on the way to and from) demonstrations - whether it bears a test mark or not.

    In Hong Kong. pepper spray is classified as "arms" under HK Laws. Chap 238 FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION ORDINANCE.
    Without a valid license from the Hong Kong Police Force, it is a crime and can result a fine of $100,000 and to imprisonment for
    14 years.

    In Israel, OC and CS spray cans may be purchased by any member of the public without restriction and carried in public. In the
    1980s a firearms license was required for doing so, but since then these sprays have been deregulated.

    In Italy OC it is considered a self-defence weapon and it is legal to own it when the active principle is less than 10%. Spray
    made with CS is illegal.

    In Latvia pepper spray is classified as a self-defense weapon, and it is available to anyone over 16. Anyone over 18 can buy
    gas pistol loaded with pepper or tear gas cartridges for self defense.

    In both Belgium and Netherlands it is classified as a prohibited weapon, and it is illegal for anyone other than police officers to
    carry a capsicum spray.

    In Norway real pepper spray is only used by the police. The publicly available defense spray often called pepper spray is
    actually based on isopropyl alcohol.

    In Poland pepper spray is not classified as a weapon, so it is available to anyone over 18.

    In Russia pepper spray is a fully legal self-defense weapon and can be bought without license by any person over the age of
    18 (passport being required for purchase). Its effect on animals is advertised as additional feature, compared with tear gas
    sprays. Carrying it at demonstrations is prohibited by law.

    In South Africa it is not a licenced product and is freely available as an over the counter security product. Generally carried and
    used by private security officers and armed reaction officers as well as police and members of the public. A pepper spray
    projectile is also available also without licence.[11] Anyone using pepper spray as anything but a defensive weapon can still be
    charged with a firearms offence.[12]

    In Sweden it is classified as an offensive weapon and possession of pepper spray requires a license. However, as of 2006, no
    such license has been issued.

    In Spain approved pepper spray made with 5% CS is available to anyone over 18.

    In the United Kingdom, "Any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas
    or other thing" is classed as a section 5 firearm (Firearms Act 1968). The same act covers other prohibited weapons such as
    automatic firearms and rocket launchers, all of which can only be possessed by permission of the Home Secretary. Although
    legal for police officers, recent debates have arisen whether such a weapon should be legal for civilians as means of defensive
    purposes only. At present a number of legal alternative dye sprays are sold in the UK which have the effect of temporarily
    blinding the attacker but do not constitute noxious substances and so do not contravene this act.

    Laws on Pepper Spray in the United States of America differ between states.

    Washington, D.C., possession of pepper spray must be registered with the DC Metropolitan Police.
    Massachusetts, pepper spray can only be sold to holders of firearm identification cards.
    Wisconsin, pepper spray is limited to containers of 15-60 grams of 10% active ingredient without dyes or CN/CS.
    Michigan, pepper spray is legal if it has less than 2% of the active ingredient, this decreases the length of the effects but not the
    SHU. Sprays containing a mixture of CN/CS are also banned. Otherwise pepper spray is an over the counter purchase.
    In many (but not all) other states, pepper spray can be purchased at various stores and carried legally by anyone over 18.
