DERMAPURGE
Effective removal of hazardous substances from the skin
We develop state-of-the-art skin cleansing products for occupational health and safety: whether as first aid applications or in daily use, our products are effective while always being gentle on the skin – so as not to damage the natural skin barrier when cleansing the skin of hazardous substances.

Jonas Schubert is CEO and co-founder of DermaPurge. Jonas started his research about the environmental behaviour of nanoparticles in 2014 at the University of Bayreuth and later at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research (IPF). Already during his doctorate, he began working with Max Schnepf on the development and patenting of the nano-ex. In the development of pak-ex, Jonas was motivated by his experience of over 22 years in the fire service as a respirator wearer, group leader and as a specialist NBC advisor in the hazardous materials fire brigade.

Max Schnepf is co-founder of DermaPurge and responsible for product development and production. Max researched and did his doctorate at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research (IPF) on the interaction of nanoparticles and polymers. Together with Jonas Schubert, he developed the patented formula on which nano-ex is based during this time. After expanding our product range with powder-ex and pak-ex, the next projects are already in the pipeline.

Innovation as a result of an occupational accident
DermaPurge is a technology-transfer spin-off from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden. The development was triggered by a laboratory accident: a student assistant had got a cadmium selenide quantum dot nanoparticle suspension on her skin despite the prescribed personal safety equipment (PPE).
A part of the suspension ran across the glove onto her skin. As there were no means available at that time to effectively remove the nanoparticles from the skin, we developed nano-ex. With DermaPurge, we bring the solution to our colleagues in nanotechnology.
