#  Latest DASA Themed Competition: Innovations in dermal protection against liquid chemicals

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 19 February 2025.

The [Defence and Security Accelerator](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/defence-and-security-accelerator) (DASA) is pleased to launch a new [Themed Competition](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/competition-innovation-in-dermal-protection-against-liquid-chemicals) called ‘Innovations in dermal protection against liquid chemicals’. Run on behalf of the [Ministry of Defence (MOD)](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence) and the [Home Office](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office), this competition is seeking proposals that will address the challenge of developing a solution to the problem of providing dermal protection against liquid chemical contamination. We are interested in treatments, fabric design, novel constructions or any other approach that prevents the penetration of low surface tension liquids.

Although being run on behalf of the UK government there is significant potential for solutions developed to be exploited internationally.
