What are Scoville Heat Units (SHUs)?
Scoville Heat Units are another method used to measure the pungency of defense sprays. The Habanero is the hottest chili pepper, measuring 325,000+ SHU’s. Most SABRE & SABRE Red pepper sprays measure 2,000,000 SHU’s which is over six times hotter than a habanero. The Michigan Formula of SABRE Red produced for REASONABLE FORCE measures 5,000,000 SHU’s!
