Overview
VICI® Metronics reduced breakdown liners are produced by applying a highly-crosslinked siloxane over a conventionally deactivated liner. The resulting liner contributes less to breakdown than any other component of the injection system.
The Problem
DDT and Endrin can be easily degraded in the injection port; with non-deactivated liners and those filled with non-deactivated glass wool, Endrin breakdown can be as high as 98%. EPA method 8081B states, “If degradation of either DDT or Endrin exceeds 15%, take corrective action before proceeding with calibration.”
The VICI Metronics Solution
Liner deactivation is the most crucial step to prevent breakdown. VICI Metronics has developed a highly effective liner, made by applying a highly-crosslinked siloxane over a conventionally deactivated liner. This creates a reduced breakdown liner that contributes minimally to breakdown—less than any other component of the injection system.
