Mace Triple Action Police Pepper Spray, 18g Aerosol Can with Keychain - Model 80812

The Mace Triple Action Police Pepper Spray is a compact self-defense tool designed for everyday carry and personal protection. This 18-gram aerosol canister features a keychain attachment, making it easy to keep accessible in a pocket, on a keyring, or in a bag without taking up much space. Built with police-strength formula, it combines multiple active ingredients to create a powerful deterrent in a defensive situation.

What sets this model apart is its three-part approach: Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) pepper derived from hot peppers, UV detection dye for identification purposes, and tear gas. The OC causes immediate eye closure and intense burning sensations, while the tear gas component induces profuse tearing, shortness of breath, and disorientation. These effects typically subside within 45 minutes to an hour. The stream spray pattern delivers coverage up to 12 feet away with approximately 20 bursts per canister, giving you multiple deployment opportunities if needed.

Activation is straightforward: flip off the safety cap and press the actuator button. The flip-top design keeps the spray secure during carry while remaining quick to access when it matters. Like all chemical self-defense tools, this canister has a four-year shelf life from the date of manufacture—marked on each unit—and should be stored in cool, dry conditions between 32°F and 120°F to maintain proper pressurization and spray effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the effects of Mace Triple Action Police Pepper Spray last?

The effects of the OC pepper and tear gas typically diminish within 45 minutes to an hour. Direct facial contact causes the eyes to close, intense burning sensations, coughing, and respiratory discomfort, along with the disorientation caused by the tear gas component.

What's the proper way to store this pepper spray to keep it effective?

Store the canister in cool, dry areas away from heat, flames, and direct sunlight. Keep the temperature between 32°F and 120°F. Do not store in hot environments like enclosed vehicles, which can cause over-pressurization and leaking, or in cold below 32°F, which reduces spray range. Check the expiration date on your unit—it's good for four years from manufacture.

How many times can I spray before the canister is empty?

This model provides approximately 20 bursts per 18-gram canister with a stream pattern that reaches out to 12 feet.

Is this self-defense spray legal and what makes it police-strength?

The Mace Brand Triple Action Police formulation is professional-grade, combining OC pepper, tear gas, and UV dye—a combination that delivers multi-phase effects. We recommend checking your local and state laws regarding pepper spray ownership and carry, as regulations vary by location.
