Silverliner Cement Kiln Patch & Repair Compound
Repair cracks, seams and mortar breaks in lumber dry kilns before applying Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer with a compatible aluminum-formulated patching compound designed for the kiln environment.
Silverliner Cement prepares damaged kiln surfaces before the protective aluminum sealer is applied.
Repair Kiln Damage Before Applying the Finish Sealer
Cracks, open seams and mortar breaks can undermine a kiln-maintenance coating system. Silverliner Cement is designed to repair those localized defects before the Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer is applied.
Crack Repair
Mend localized cracks before the kiln receives its protective aluminum sealing system.
Seam Treatment
Fill open seams and vulnerable transitions that can interrupt the protective barrier.
Mortar Break Repair
Restore localized mortar damage before applying the final Silverliner kiln coating.
Compatible Formulation
Uses the same aluminum formulation concept as Silverliner Kiln Sealer to help prevent repair areas from bleeding through the finish.
Heat, Humidity and Wood Acids Attack Kiln Surfaces
Lumber dry kilns operate under demanding conditions. Heat, high humidity and acids released during lumber drying continually stress kiln walls and joints.
Repairing cracks and mortar failures before sealing helps create a more continuous protective surface.
Repair First. Seal Second.
Silverliner Cement is intended as the patching step of the system. After damaged areas are repaired, Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer provides the broader protective coating.
Applied at Approximately 1/8-Inch Thickness
PACE lists Silverliner Cement coverage at approximately 25 square feet per gallon when applied by trowel at a thickness of 1/8 inch.
Protect the Kiln Environment From Continuous Exposure
Kiln walls operate in one of the harsher environments found in industrial facilities.
Repeated Thermal Exposure
Continuous heating cycles place stress on masonry, seams and repair areas.
High Moisture Conditions
Lumber drying exposes kiln interiors to sustained humidity and moisture.
Chemical Exposure
Acids released from lumber can contribute to deterioration of kiln surfaces over time.
Designed to Work With Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer
Silverliner Cement is not intended as the complete kiln coating by itself. It prepares damaged areas for the finish sealing system.
Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer
After cracks, seams and mortar breaks are patched, Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer is applied to create the broader aluminum protective shield across kiln surfaces.
Create a More Continuous Aluminum Barrier
PACE describes the Silverliner system as creating an aluminum shield between harsh kiln conditions and the underlying kiln walls.
Proper repair before sealing helps reduce weak points in that protective system.
Minimize Maintenance Downtime
The goal of the Silverliner maintenance system is to repair and protect the kiln while keeping downtime manageable for lumber-drying operations.
Silverliner Cement Kiln Patch FAQs
Common questions about Silverliner Cement application, compatibility and ordering.
What is Silverliner Cement used for?
Silverliner Cement is used to repair cracks, seams, mortar breaks and similar localized damage in lumber dry kilns before applying Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer.
Why does Silverliner Cement contain aluminum?
PACE states that Silverliner Cement uses the same aluminum formulation concept as the Silverliner Kiln Sealer to help prevent repaired areas from bleeding through the final coating.
How is Silverliner Cement applied?
The current PACE product information specifies trowel application at approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
How much area does one gallon cover?
At approximately 1/8-inch thickness, PACE lists coverage at about 25 square feet per gallon.
Can Silverliner Cement be used by itself?
It is designed as a repair product used before applying Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer, rather than as the complete finish system.
Can I order Silverliner Cement separately?
No. The current PACE page states that Silverliner Cement ships only with an order of Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer.
What conditions cause kiln deterioration?
PACE identifies heat, humidity and wood acids produced during lumber drying as major sources of attack on kiln walls.
What should be applied after Silverliner Cement?
Once repairs are completed, Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer is the companion coating used to create the broader protective kiln barrier.
