Crimes are facts of life. They happen everyday. And statistically speaking, it is possible for you to become a victim of a crime at least once in your life. Crimes happen, regardless of place, time, situation, your social status, age, or gender.

Listed below are some of the crime rates and facts in America:

- Rapes occur at a rate of 78 cases per hour all throughout America.

- 17 of 100 boys and 1 out of 4 girls will experience sexual assaults when they reach the age of 18.

- One of four cases of rape happens in public places.

- Murder Rate in America increased 2 percent early this year.

- There is a possibility that you will be stalked, even if you are not a star.

Crimes have a higher probability of success because of the element of surprise and the failure of the victims to be prepared for troublesome incidents.

Thus, you can reduce the risks that can be inflicted to you if you are prepared for these things and if you are capable of defending yourself.

Out of all the self-defense techniques available for you to use, it is noteworthy to give attention to Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray that can be of great help on the road, at home, or in the car.

What is the Active Ingredient in Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray?

HeatWave Pepper Spray contains an active ingredient Oleoresin Capsicum or O.C that is extracted from hot cayenne peppers. According to use and situation, consumers can choose from 10 percent or 15 percent concentration. They may have the same 2 million Scoville Heat Unit rating, but they differ in the capacity to stick due to consistency.

Which concentration should I choose?

The 10 percent concentration HeatWave Pepper Spray is best for human assailants. On the other hand, the 15 percent concentration is the one to use when faced with wild animals in the outdoor. The thick consistency allows the solution not to drip from the animals.

How does Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray Work?

The active ingredient Oleoresin Capsicum (O.C.) gives uncomfortable burning sensation when applied to assailants. It really hurts, making the attacker disoriented. The effect lasts for 20 to 45 minutes, giving enough time for victims to move to a safer place and ask for help from the authorities.

When sprayed on the face, it will cause temporary blindness, coughing, choking and depressed breathing for your attacker.

The pepper spray does not have long term effects, and contrary to hearsays, it does not cause total blindness.

What makes Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray different from other Sprays?

What makes Security Plus stand out from competitors is the way it measures the potency of the spray. They acquired a measure system that allows them to get the effective rate of the spray after it leaves the nozzle. They actually use the unit nozzle SHU.

Which form should I use?

Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray comes in different forms: keychain, canisters, etc to conceal the spray and make it less visible from attackers and to cater to the different needs of the consumers as well. It does not matter what you choose. What is important is the spray concentration itself.

What is the dispersion mechanism used by Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray and what are its advantages?

Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray uses the stream dispersion mechanism similar to water gun mechanism. The canister has the capacity to give off ten one-second bursts. It gives the following advantages:

- It can hit multiple attackers.

- It can still work in the dark, even if you are not aware where your attackers are.

- When you miss your attackers, you can fan the mist towards their direction.

What are the disadvantages of this type of dispersion mechanism?

When you are inside the car and you sprayed on a partially opened window, there is a possibility that the spray will bounce at you, though it is only minimal.

Is there an expiration date for pepper sprays?

Yes, there is an expiration date. It is still usable within 3 to 4 years. But to be sure, check the date on the pepper spray canister.

With all the things said about Security Plus HeatWave Pepper Spray a more effective or affordable personal protection solution would be hard to find.
