Every figure on this page is pulled from the current Germa-Tech technical data sheet for that product — the guide and the sheets are built from the same master and cannot disagree. A dash means the figure is not stated on the sheet; it is never estimated here. All times at 20-23 °C unless stated. Open the product's TDS for the full method, and read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
