Defense Technology First Defense 0.7% MK-9S HV Vapor OC Aerosol 43896

The MK-9S features an easy-to-use trigger handle that is intended for use in crowd management and will deliver 8-10 short bursts of OC at an effective range of 10-15 ft. This 0.7% MC OC aerosol product utilizes a vapor delivery method providing a high concentration of OC in a powerful mist inflaming the mucous membranes and exposed skin. Onset is immediate and very intense, resulting in an intense burning sensation that evaporates quickly when exposed to fresh air.

• Delivers a high concentration of OC in a powerful mist.
• Inflames the mucous membranes and exposed skin resulting in an intense burning sensation.
• The onset is immediate and very intense.
• Whether the exposure is in an open area or confined space, targets immediately focus on their own discomfort.
• Once moved from the contaminated area to fresh air, the respiratory effects resolve themselves in minutes.
• This formulation dissipates quickly so residue is minimal.
• The 12.7 oz. MK-9S canister will deliver 8-10 short bursts of OC at an effective range of 10-15 ft.
• The vapor delivery method evaporates inches from the nozzle leaving only the OC in flight. This delivery method is ideal for the correctional environment.
• The .7% MC orange banded canister indicates the major capsaicinoid level which is discharged at the nozzle at time of use.
• The MK-9S features an easy-to-use trigger handle and is intended for use in crowd management.
• This formulation has been tested and is non-flammable and Electronic Discharge Weapon (EDW) safe.
• Defense Technology® First Defense® OC Aerosols are produced in an ISO-rated manufacturing facility.
• All Major Capsaicinoid percentages (MC%) are verified by an Independent Laboratory for quality assurance

  What is the difference between SHUs and MC%? Defense Technology® no longer recognizes Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) as a viable means to measure pungency in regards to pepper spray. Scoville Heat Units are a subjective measurement system dating back to the American Spice Trade. For years SHUs have been used as a measuring system within the pepper spray industry, resulting in confusion and a lack of confidence and consistency regarding the pungency and percentage of OC formulations. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography or HPLC, is the only true way to measure the heat of a formulation. It is a scientific method and ensures consistency. This is the standard used by Defense Technology®. The finished Defense Technology® OC formulations are tested at an independent laboratory tested for the exact percentage of major capsaicinoids (MC%). FIRST AID FOR OC I. GENERAL: Remove affected person from the contaminated area to an open space, facing the wind. Keep the subject calm and restrict activity. Most subjects will be well on their way to total recovery 45 minutes after first aid begins. II. EYES: Intense burning sensation, temporary inflammation of the tissues around the eyes, causing involuntary closure. Wash eyes out with large amounts of cool water. DO NOT allow the subject to rub their eyes or face. If the need arises to use a paper towel, use a blotting motion and discard after one use. Find out if the subject is wearing contact lenses. If so, allow them to remove the lenses or call EMS to remove them. DO NOT attempt to remove unless medically trained to do so. Contacts may become contaminated and may need to be discarded. Keep eyes open facing the wind. Tearing helps clear the eyes. Keep exposed subjects out of direct sunlight during the decontamination process. The brighter and hotter the direct sunlight is, the more it enhances the burning sensation. III. NOSE: Irritation, burning sensation, nasal discharge. Breathe normally. Blow nose to discharge any material. IV. SKIN: Burning sensation on affected skin areas. Redness may occur on fair-skinned individuals. DO NOT apply creams, salves, oils, lotions, or burn cream as they will only trap the OC on the skin. Flush the skin with large amounts of cool water and expose the subject to fresh air. Further relief may be gained by showering with cool water using mild soap and shampooing hair. Wash thoroughly, rinsing often to manage any contaminated water on your body. Contact Defense Technology® with any questions regarding these procedures AREA DECONTAMINATION FOR OC STEP 1: Ventilate the building to remove airborne OC. Open all doors and windows that weather permits. This should be accomplished as soon as possible. If fans can be placed to increase ventilation, this will help. STEP 2: Surfaces can be decontaminated by washing with water or a damp cloth. Wet clean where possible, using commercially available detergents like Dawn or Simple Green. STEP 3: Clothing and other fabrics can be cleaned in their usual manner (either by machine washing or dry cleaning). NOTE: Rubber gloves and a gauze face mask should be used by personnel during the clean-up stage to prevent the possibility of residual contamination. OC is a better indoor deployment option than CN or CS, as positive clean-up and re-occupation of the structure can usually take place within one to two hours. Minimal clean-up costs need to be imposed on the deploying agency. MPN 1156865
