properly. This guide will provide information on the safe use of pepper spray.
Select the Correct Type of Pepper Spray for your Situation
Stream
These pepper sprayers offer longer distance than other sprays. They deliver a high volume to a
small area giving a concentrated strike. They are more difficult to aim and are somewhat effected
by wind. They are usually the least expensive option.
Fogger
The fogger pepper spray typically have a higher pressure so they can achieve adequate distance,
but tend to have less distance then the stream sprayers. They cover a wider area making them easy
to aim and are more effective when used against a group of attackers or an animal. Because they
cover a wider area, they deliver less volume per area making their strike less concentrated. They are
highly effected by wind and should not be sprayed directly into the wind. They should not be used
indoors unless necessary. They are usually more expensive than other options.
Splatter
This pepper sprayer is similar to the stream sprayer but delivers more volume per burst. For this
reason, they will have fewer bursts per ounce. However, the higher volume will provide a more
concentrated strike. Their distance is a little less than the stream sprayers, but they are less effected
by wind. They are a cost effective option.
Foam
Foam pepper spray is delivered in a stream however, it contains a foaming agent that causes the
pepper spray to spread on contact. Because of it's spreading action, accuracy is less critical. It has a
distance similar to a stream sprayer and is effected somewhat by wind. It's foaming action can be
effective when used against someone wearing glasses or goggles as it will coat the lenses.
Gel
Pepper spray is now available in a Gel formulation. This is a sticky pepper spray making it harder
to remove and more effective when used in the rain. It's a heavy liquid, usually under higher pressure,
giving it the longest distance stream. It doesn't contaminate the air like a fogger, or to a lesser extent,
like the stream or spatter sprayers. This allows it to be used safely indoors. Because of it's advanced
features, it is a more expensive option.
