October 15 is Global Handwashing Day. Since the days of COVID-19, at the latest, everyone knows how important handwashing is for general hygiene. However, this day has not just existed since the pandemic, but already since 2008.
Hand hygiene is not only an essential issue in healthcare facilities and in everyday life. In all areas where hazardous substances have to be handled, such as in laboratories of scientific research institutions, in industry or even in the fire department, people need products other than soap to be able to remove the substances from the skin again quickly.
Two researchers from TU Dresden, Dr. Jonas Schubert and Dr. Max Schnepf, have joined forces and, in close cooperation with the Institute for Physical Chemistry and Polymer Physics at TUD, have developed special, skin-friendly cleaning agents to remove hazardous substances from the skin. Together with Felix Klee, they founded the company "DermaPurge". They were supported and accompanied by TUD's start-up service "dresden|exists". They have already received several awards for their innovations as well as their business idea. On the occasion of the International Day of Hand Washing, "dresden|exists" visited the founding team of "DermaPurge" to find out what the status of the young company is and which skin cleansing products have been newly developed for special applications.
