You have a good link above me, but just to correct a thought here, Mace is the original irritant spray used since the 1930′s in police work. OC Pepper is relatively newer and is FAR more powerful than Mace ever was.
Irritants are rated by SHU’s (Scoville Heat Units) which measures the “burning” effect on human skin. A Jalapeno pepper is rated at 7,500 SHU. Mace is rated at 12,000 SHU. OC Pepper ( oil based) is rated at 25,000 SHU. The newest police rated is now Phase IV, which is rated at 2,000,000 SHU ( Two million). Most departments do not use the Phase IV due to the extreme burning it will do to the skin, requiring hospital treatments.
I hope this helps and you can find it useful
