Unlike common throwaway aerosol can defense products, ASP Defenders are highly-engineered dispersion devices that use a proprietary, replaceable OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) Insert.

Our “Heat” formulation is maximum strength, law enforcement-grade OC: 10% Oleoresin Capsicum, 1.4% major capsaicinoids, two million Scoville Heat Units (SHU). We also offer , which contain a harmless, inert aerosol—we highly recommend them for practicing using your ASP Defender.

This Insert is compatible with ASP and , and contains approximately six 1/2-second bursts.
NOTE: Heat Inserts are date-coded to assure reliability. After the date marked on the Insert, it should be disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations in your area.
