Bear Spray Specs and Instructions

Active Ingredient - 2% Capsaicin and other related Capsaicinoids (3.2 million SHU)
The main ingredient in COUNTER ASSAULT BEAR DETERRENT is an extract of RED PEPPER oil which affects the upper respiratory system, triggering involuntary eye closure and intense burning. 

Delivery Method - Atomized fogger blast
A sophisticated delivery method is utilized to create an atomized blast which produces a pepper cloud slow to dissipate. More effective than foam, stream or cone sprays. Distributes a large amount of high pressure spray into the target area, requiring less accuracy than other methods.

Shelf life - 4 years
We recommend you replace your product after 4 years. Nothing in the canister goes bad, but like all pressurized aerosols, it can lose pressure over time and you may not get the maximum performance from the canister. Each canister is marked with an expiration date on the label. (see picture below) Industry standard shelf life is one to two years.

Spray range & width
The diagram below helps illustrate how Counter Assault can be used at a standoff range of 18 to 35 feet with an 8.1 ounce canister.
