This large pepper spray from Mace contains a powerful mixture of capsaicinoids and foaming agent. It creates a thick foam on contact that stays in place, coating your attacker's face to reduce visibility and attack the eyes, nose and mouth. Attempts to wipe it away only rub its active ingredients into the skin, allowing it to take down even the most determined attacker. It also includes an ultraviolet dye that makes it easier for law enforcement to identify the right person. The canister contains enough formula for 5 one-second bursts, and offers an effective range of up to 10 feet. The flip-top safety cap prevents accidental discharge.
