As far as the usage is harsh, it would be safer to buy a new one. Defensive products and their expiration date is determined by a producer (2-3 years according to the type). Then it is advisable to buy a new product because of a loosing an efficiency of a chemical charge as well as a mechanical gasket of a valve.

The charge consists of a hamstringed component which causes stun of a sight, mucous and breathing. In these days the most popular is an extract from cayenne pepper (a kind of red pepper), marked as an OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray which has a strong impact on every individual. It causes uncontrolled burning pain in the eyes, mucous and shortness of breathe after the snuff. The individual is out of action for several minutes (max. cca 30 min.). The defensive product- OC spray comes in to main types which differ from each other in the kind of blast.
Type „OC“ (Nato-American, Anti Dog, Ko-Pepper)

Type “OC” is a standard type of the product. A wider view without the necessity to direct, thanks to the wider scattering of the nozzle, is the best advantage of this product. On the contrary the striking of the user or other individuals in an extreme case belongs among the main disadvantages, e.g. the use against the wind, in the closing vessel, means of transport, etc. A recommended strategy when using the “OC” spray is an escape while spraying to all directions behind you. The attacker is getting into the contaminated space once he wants to chase or attack you.

Type “tekuta strela” deletes disadvantages listed above. There is not so high chance of striking against the wind and it is possible to use this spray in the room. Once you push the nozzle, the long and wide blast of the liquid is sprayed directly on the attacker. The length of the blast (according to the size of the spray is about 2-4m) helps to keep an appropriate place. But it is essential to spot properly on the head of the attacker and this is connected with a bigger courage, to stay directly against your attacker.

Self Defensive products - an effective usage

Defensive products - a spray deep saved in the purse or bag will not definitely help you in a dangerous situation
As far as you are supposed to get into the dangerous situation or environment, get ready and grab the spray by your hand settled in the pocket or hided behind the back (do not let the spray in your hand to be seen) A power of the effect is in the surprising usage, do not threaten anybody with the spray in your hand (otherwise the attacker could cover the eyes and attack you) and if possible try to wait for the best moment (e.g. to fake an escape, turn out immediately and spray a blast into the face of the attacker). After the elimination of the attacker do not wait until he is firmed but run away and consequently it is advisable to call police to that place. Defensive products- “OC” sprays can also help in the confrontation with a dangerous dog or other animals. Because of their perfect smell, the confrontation with the burning element is a disaster for them.
