Introduction
Crotega LLC, (dba Crotega Safety Solutions) was formed with a vision of saving lives and enhancing safety
inspired by the need for a better way to Deter, Disrupt, and Delay™ active assailants and threatening perpetrators. Our mission is to employ technology to bring about a safer world. We empower law enforcement, private security, individuals, and building owners to take control with advanced solutions that
neutralize active threats while reducing risks to the user. We aim to make public and private safety more
humane, offer peace of mind, and ultimately, save lives.
Where Tradional Non-Lethal Defense Options Fall Short
Historically, non-lethal safety and security options have centered on physical use of force tools or deterrent sprays, like pepper spray. Both have limitations and risk injury in a sudden high-stress encounter.
About REPULS Defense Spray – When Safety is Your Top Priority and Seconds Count
Crotega brought together chemical and engineering experts to design, test, and patent a next generation eco-friendly water-based chemical irritant spray named REPULS to replace the dangerous health and contamination issues surrounding the use of OC/pepper spray. Crotega is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN.
The Company has formulated and patented a revolutionary water-based irritant spray with unmatched features:
- Causes immediate involuntary eye closure and spatial disorientation to re-gain control.
- A target specific liquid stream versus the aerosol mist and air contamination of pepper spray.
- No cross-contamination and health risks to others and no blowback onto the user.
- Only known irritant spray to be approved for safe use indoors and in vehicles, buses, or trains.
- Eco-friendly and non-flammable formula – can mitigate by flushing eyes with water.
- Safe spray range and spray capacity is design to properly defend in confrontational situations.
Quotation From Security Officers with a Level One Trauma Center Healthcare Group and College Campus
“In my 13 years with the department, there has been minimal to no use of traditional OC/pepper spray because
of fear of cross-contamination harming officers, our medical staff members, and especially the compromised
patients in the hospital. Overall, REPULS has been a gamechanger as it is the only deterrent spray that can be
safely used indoors. REPULS has empowered us to work more effectively and keep everyone safe. I do not
think the impact of this solution can be emphasized enough.”
