New 1.4% MC (10%OC) Formula w/ UV Dye - hotter than the old 18% OC formula
Forget OC% & SHU's - The Major Capsaicinoids (MC) are the true measure of pepper spray heat
Major Capsaicinoids (MC) are the chemical components of peppers that make them hot. Measuring by MC is a laboratory conducted and very accurate test for gauging hotness. Oleoresin Capsicum is the oil extracted that contains within it the Major Capsaciniods.
You need to focus on the Major Capsaicinoids. This percentage (1.4% MC) in the new formula, even though the number is smaller, has a greater amount of raw material than the old formula 18% OC did.

What Determines How Effective OC Is? (please see the heat chart in photo gallery)
There are brands trying to fool the buying public. Here's an example of one well known company doing this.
They show the raw measurements on the packaging but not what's actually in the final spray they are selling. This is very misleading.
Using their own numbers of raw pepper at 5,300,000 SHU and Major Capsaicinoids at 35% and formula using 2% of the raw, then the MC would only be 0.7% -- half of what Wildfire is (1.4%).
