De-Escalation Spray

Abstract

A de-escalation spray that is an alternative to traditional pepper spray. Law enforcement carries traditional pepper spray or tear gas. However, the present de-escalation spray only affects the intended target, does not cause respiratory distress, is water soluble, and easily cleans up.

1 . A de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water. 
     
     
         2 . The de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 1 , wherein the acetic acid concentration is under 20%. 
     
     
         3 . The de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 1 , wherein the citric acid concentration is under 8%. 
     
     
         4 . The de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 1 , wherein the ammonium hydroxide buffer concentration is under 1%. 
     
     
         5 . The de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises of at least 71% water. 
     
     
         6 . A method of making the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water. 
     
     
         7 . The method of making the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 6 , wherein the acetic acid concentration is under 20%. 
     
     
         8 . The method of making the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 6 , wherein the citric acid concentration is under 8%. 
     
     
         9 . The method of making the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 6 , wherein the ammonium hydroxide buffer concentration is under 1%. 
     
     
         10 . The method of making the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 6 , wherein the composition comprises of at least 71% water. 
     
     
         11 . A method of using the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water. 
     
     
         12 . The method of using the de-escalation spray composition comprising of acetic acid, citric acid, ammonium hydroxide buffer, and water as in  claim 11 , wherein the acetic acid concentration is under 20%.
