pak-ex entfernt mehr als 96 % der krebserregenden PAK von der Haut – seifenfrei, ohne Penetrationsverstärker, entwickelt von DermaPurge, einer Ausgründung des Leibniz-Instituts für Polymerforschung Dresden.

Mehr als 96 % PAK-Entfernung – bis zu 10-fach besser als herkömmliche Seifen¹
Schont die Hautbarriere – keine Seifen, keine entfettenden Komponenten
dermatest® „sehr gut“ · vfdb Excellence Award 2023
Direkt an der Einsatzstelle anwendbar – gegen Kontaminationsverschleppung

¹ Herstellerangaben der DermaPurge GmbH, Ausgründung des Leibniz-Instituts für Polymerforschung Dresden.

Warum pak-ex?

PAK entstehen bei jedem Brand durch unvollständige Verbrennung. Sie sind krebserregend und dringen leicht über die Haut ein. Herkömmliche Seifen reinigen unzureichend – und Feuchttücher mit Penetrationsverstärkern können die Aufnahme von PAK über die Haut sogar erhöhen. pak-ex wurde gezielt für dieses Problem entwickelt.

Für wen ist pak-ex?

Feuerwehren, Werkfeuerwehren und Katastrophenschutz
Gefahrgut- und Industrieeinsätze
Schornsteinfeger und Ausbildungsstätten
Alle Einsatzbereiche mit PAK-Exposition

Anwendung in 4 Schritten

Sichtbare Verschmutzungen großzügig mit pak-ex behandeln.
Sanft einmassieren, um PAK von der Haut zu lösen – ohne die Hautbarriere zu stressen.
Sorgfältig mit kaltem Wasser abspülen – maximal 32 °C.
Hände, Gesicht, Hals und Nacken nicht vergessen – und die Übergänge der Schutzkleidung an Handgelenken, Hüfte und unterhalb der Knie.

Tipp: pak-ex direkt an der Einsatzstelle nutzen, um Kontaminationsverschleppung zu vermeiden.

Is pak-ex suitable for the face and sensitive skin?

Yes. pak-ex is soap-free and contains no penetration enhancers and no degreasing components, so the natural skin barrier stays intact. Its skin compatibility was rated “very good” by dermatest®. Also suitable for the face and the front and back of the neck; avoid direct contact with the eyes.

How is pak-ex different from soap and wet wipes?

Conventional soaps degrease the skin and do not remove PAHs sufficiently. Many wet wipes contain penetration enhancers that can increase the uptake of PAHs through the skin. pak-ex removes more than 96% of PAHs, up to 10 times better than conventional soaps, while being gentle on the skin barrier.

Which pack size is right for me?

The 15 ml sachet is the portion size for your turnout coat and for individual decontamination right at the incident scene. The tubes (50/200 ml) are suited to the vehicle and bag, the pump dispensers (250 to 1,000 ml) to the fixed wash point at the station, optionally as a EURO wall dispenser system. Refills lower the running costs.

How long does pak-ex keep?

You can find the shelf life and the period after opening (PAO symbol) on each container and in the data sheet. Reseal the container after use.

Can you purchase on account?

Yes, public authorities, municipalities and fire departments can purchase from us on account. Contact us.

What is the delivery time?

Usually 5-10 working days. Heavy or bulky items are delivered by freight carrier.

Any volume discounts?

Yes, for group orders (e.g. for your whole fire department), we are happy to prepare an individual quote. Send an inquiry.

Can I buy pak-ex for myself?

Yes. Many responders first order pak-ex for themselves, as a sachet for the turnout coat or a tube for the locker, and then bring their experience into their fire department’s procurement. We also ship to your home address.

Einsatzkraft mit pak-ex – ausgezeichnet mit dem vfdb Excellence Award 2023

vfdb Excellence Award 2023 for pak-ex

Developed by experts

From the lab to the fireground

DermaPurge combines cutting-edge research with operational practice: the team led by PhD chemist Jonas Schubert develops skin cleansing solutions for research, industry, fire departments and civil protection, as a spin-off of the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden.

Managing director Jonas Schubert has been an active firefighter for over 22 years, including as a breathing apparatus wearer and crew leader. He knows what an incident scene looks like after a fire, and what is practical there.

Rescuevation: As seen in the trade press

The invisible danger

The call is over, the PAHs are still there

Four things every responder should know about PAHs, and why showering alone is not enough.

What are PAHs?

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons form in every fire through incomplete combustion. They cling to soot, and with it to skin, hair and turnout gear.
Why are PAHs dangerous?

Several PAHs are considered carcinogenic, and they also enter the body through the skin. Since 2022, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as carcinogenic to humans.
The smell that lingers

If you can still smell smoke for days after a call, fire residues are still there, on your skin and in your hair. And where there is soot, there are PAHs.
Carrying contamination home

Without thorough decontamination, you take PAHs with you: into the car, into your home, to your family. That is why post-incident decontamination does not end at the station.

¹ Manufacturer figures from DermaPurge GmbH, a spin-off of the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden.

Why ordinary cleaning falls short

Fire smoke residue, effectively removed

PAHs cannot be reliably removed with soap or wet wipes, and some products even increase uptake through the skin. Four points that matter:

Mode of action

The science behind pak-ex

>96%¹ of PAHs are removed from the skin, according to the manufacturer

pak-ex was developed by DermaPurge, a spin-off of the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden. Its mode of action is physical: pak-ex binds the PAHs to clay minerals (kaolin and bentonite) and carries them off the skin when you rinse with cold water. Under UV light, the fluorescence test shows how much contamination is still on the skin after cleaning.

Fluorescence test under UV light: contamination before and after cleaning with pak-ex.

Using pak-ex after a fire call

Four steps, right at the incident scene, before contamination is carried into the vehicle or the station.

Apply

Apply pak-ex generously to visible soiling, without water, directly on the skin.
Massage in

Massage in gently to loosen PAHs from the skin without stressing the skin barrier.
Rinse

Rinse thoroughly with cold water, at most 32 °C: hot water opens the skin barrier.
Mind the interface areas

Hands, face, the front and back of the neck, plus the interface areas of your protective clothing at the wrists, hips and below the knees. pak-ex is suitable for all skin areas.

Tip for everyday operationspak-ex belongs at the incident scene: a 15 ml sachet in every turnout coat, a pump dispenser in the vehicle and at the station’s wash point.

PAH decontamination right at the incident scene is this simple.

Two ways forward

Don’t wait for procurement

pak-ex is available for you personally and for your whole fire department. Both routes reduce PAH exposure starting with the next call.

Why start here:

The 500 ml dispenser is ready to use right away: pump on, done
Shipped to your home address, with no procurement process
You don’t carry the contamination home with you

From the field

Voices from the field

„This is what fire department members need, especially immediately after a fire call.“

Dr. Andreas Häcker State Fire Department Physician, Baden-Württemberg

„The trial phase went extremely well. The skin redness and burns among the colleagues concerned have noticeably decreased since they started using pak-ex.“

Andrea Vogler Hazardous Substances Lead, Swiss Federal Railways

„I gave the skin cleanser to my site foreman to try out. Now he doesn’t want to give it back. All the colleagues on the crew are thrilled by how well it cleans and how good it feels on the skin.“

Jörg Schiekel Managing Director, NTG Bau GmbH
