Table II.

Minimum Contact Time of Cl-DDMH, Cl-DADT, and Cl-TMPL as Additives in PU to Provide a Total Kill of S. aureus and E. coli*

Sample Minimum contact time for a total kill at different additive level against S. aureus (min) Minimum contact time for a total kill at different additive level against E. coli (min)
2 % 4 % 6 % 2 % 4 % 6 %

Each test was repeated three times, and the longest minimum contact time of the three tests for a total kill of the microbes (the weakest antimicrobial efficacy observed) was reported.

**

ND: At this concentration, the sample could only provide a 2-3 log reduction of the test organisms; no total kill of the organisms could be observed within the 8 h of testing period.
