Aversion Technologies NONIVAMIDE POWDER (PAVA)
Aversion Technologies Nonivamide Powder (PAVA) is the active ingredient in most pepper sprays. It is also being used by law enforcement in “paint-ball” guns as a powerful non-lethal weapon. When the spray comes in contact with skin, especially eyes or mucous membranes, it is very painful and completely disarming.
