Rinse eyes thoroughly with water and blink rapidly to help clear irritant. Wash affected skin with water and soap. Do not use creams, salves, or oils. Baby shampoo can be used around sensitive areas.

HERO 2020 launches PavaBalls - paintball-like projectiles filled with PAVA powder that explode on impact, engulfing the target in a 3-6 foot cloud of irritant. PavaBalls travel up to 175 FPS, are .68 caliber, and contain 10% PAVA.
PAVA, a synthetic form of capsaicin, is known for its intense heat and irritation properties and has been trusted by police and military around the globe for decades.
PAVA binds to the receptors that send pain and heat signals to the brain, causing targets to experience intense burning on the skin (as if exposed to scalding heat), difficulty seeing, fits of coughing, and discomfort for up to an hour. There are no long term effects.
Our PAVA products have a shelf life of 2 years.
