How does Presidia Gel vs OC Compare?

See why Presidia Gel is the right choice for you!

OC or pepper spray has been used for decades as a deterrent for non-complying individuals and even riots. But how does it stack up against Presidia Gel? Let's take a look...

	Presidia Gel	​OC Sprays
Active Ingredient	​CS (chlorobenzalmalononitrile) in a non-atomizing, sticky gel.	​Atomized OC (oleoresin capsicum).
​Time to Debilitation	​Within 5 seconds. Subjects fully incapacitated within 20 seconds.	​Reaction can take minutes, building to full effect over time, with little to no effect on some subjects. Results vary widely, similar to individual susceptibility to chili peppers.
​Subject Recovery Time	​With Reflex Remove™ decon: subjects quickly feel relief and can function within 2 minutes. Within 5 minutes, on average, subjects feel only minimal effects. Complete recovery in 15. Allows for fast transportation times of subjects. Officer less-lethal training time also dramatically shortened.	​Lengthy recovery time (30-45 minutes until recovery begins) results in slow transportation times. Showering can re-activate oils.
​Experience for Subject	​Immediate involuntary eye closure and extreme pain in eyes. Burning sensation if in direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.	​Burning sensation anywhere on the body, especially the eyes and in the respiratory system. Respiratory inflammation, possible sensation of respiratory distress, gagging, coughing.
​Ability to Target	​Tight gel stream can pinpoint target at a safe distance (up to 15 ft. for 1.9 oz, up to 18 ft. for 5 oz.	​Spray affects entire area with cloud of fine particulate.
​Cross Contamination Risks	​None. Sticks to what it hits with no side-splatter.	​Contaminates everything in the area: LEOs, furniture, HVAC systems, innocent bystanders. Uniform changes mandatory.
​Use in Cells	​Ideal for cell extractions due to zero cross-contamination.	​CERT teams must mask up before spraying during cell extractions.
​Use in Vehicle	​Safe.	​Unsafe. Contaminates entire vehicle and all occupants.
​Environment Decontamination	​Spray Reflex Remove™ on surface and let sit 30 seconds to neutralize. Naturally dissipates in 15 minutes.	​Considerable lost time decontaminating areas and surfaces.
​Indoor Use	​Safe. Sticks to what it hits. Quickly dissipates.	​Unsafe. Atomizes to contaminate everyone and everything. Dissipates slowly, with lasting smell and effects.
