Once applied, the material will degrade or impair the adversary's ability to move. For Interior applications it can be applied to flat, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as linoleum, tile, wood floors or staircases. Exterior applications include sloped, rough, porous surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, and grassy areas.

While non-lethal weapons are all well and good in theory, in practice they tend to get used to first immobilise an opponent so lethal means can be then used. Apparently most US law enforcement officers missed the instead of coda.
