| SABRE brand pepper spray is a unique formulation consisting of CS Military Tear Gas, 1.33% Capsaicin*, and an ultra violet dye for suspect identification. It is this unique formulation in the right proportions that creates the most effective defense spray on the market today. See Chart for Comparison Effects. |
| CS TEAR GAS is the #1 riot control agent of the US Armed Forces. They replaced their CN stock with CS in the late fifties due to many of the following factors: |

Guaranteed heat levels -
only Security Equipment Corporation has an in house HPLC laboratory. Their
HPLC lab measures every formulation to ensure heat specifications are met
in every canister. No other manufacturer provides on-site HPLC technology
to guarantee the strength of their sprays. SABRE also contains oleoresin capsicum (OC) and an ultra-violet dye for suspect identification. OC is a naturally occurring substance derived from certain peppers of the hottest variety. The OC used in SABRE contains 1.33% Capsaicin* as the active ingredient. This in turn produces a defense spray measuring 2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, as quality controlled by a High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) test. |
|
*Capsaicin, not to be confused with OC is the oil extracted from the placenta tissues just below the stem of the pepper. It is the Capsaicin which determines the pungency of red peppers. The pungency of red peppers are measured in Scoville Heat Units and not in OC percentages. OC percentages only measure the amount of red pepper, not the effectiveness of the product. |
