PAVACLOUD

What is a PAVACLOUD ?

Example : Round spherical projectiles filled with extremely fine combination of powders that are released on impact. The suspended particles form an airborne cloud of Pava powder named PAVA CLOUD or PAVACLOUD.

A PAVACLOUD is produced by either a direct spray of airborne powder or the impact of a projectile that contains the PAVA powder. PAVACLOUD can be an inert powder for testing or is the active ingredients which contains the extreme irritant, suspended in the air, airborne, and creates a cloud  of approximately 3-6 feet, or further depending on environmental factors such as wind.

A PAVACLOUD may contain a combination of powders. The effect of a pava-based shells or sprays vary between makers of delivery systems of projectiles and powder based sprays. The ingredients may include:


 * Nonivamide, also called pelargonic acid vanillylamide or PAVA
 * Oleoresin Capsicum (OC)
 * The active ingredients in these devices are collectively termed capsaicinoids and act by peripheral sensory irritation.
 * The use of these ingredients is referred to as PAVA, PAVA/OC and other references
