18% OC Pepper Spray Independent Laboratory Testing
When it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones, it can be difficult to determine which pepper spray products are truly effective. Many manufacturers claim superior performance, but independent laboratory testing offers a more objective way to compare products.
An independent laboratory evaluates the heat of the spray after it leaves the canister and comes into contact with a target. This measurement is known as the Certified Heat Rating (CHR) and reflects the real-world potency of the defense spray.
Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray has been independently tested and received a CHR of over 180,000 SHU, placing it among the hottest and most effective self-defense sprays available. In comparison, testing of several competing brands showed an average heat rating of approximately 123,000 SHU, making Streetwise 18 about 46% hotter than many competing products.
For best performance, store the spray at room temperature and periodically check the safety lock and expiration date to ensure the unit remains ready for use. Laws regarding pepper spray vary by state and country, so always verify local regulations before carrying or traveling with this product.
