Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer
Protect lumber dry kiln interiors with a fiberglass-reinforced aluminum sealer designed to create a bright, reflective, corrosion-resistant barrier on metal, masonry and wood surfaces.
Silverliner creates an aluminum barrier between harsh kiln conditions and the underlying kiln surfaces.
Protect Kiln Interiors From Heat, Humidity and Wood Acids
Lumber dry kilns operate in a punishing environment. Silverliner is formulated to recondition and protect interior kiln surfaces while creating a bright reflective barrier.
Reflective Barrier
Aluminum helps reflect heat back into the kiln rather than allowing it to escape through surrounding surfaces.
Corrosion Resistance
Creates a protective shield between kiln walls and harsh moisture, heat and wood-acid exposure.
Reinforced Protection
Fiberglass reinforcement gives the coating added body and durability for demanding kiln-maintenance applications.
Strong Adhesion
Special additives help Silverliner adhere tightly to vertical metal, masonry and wood surfaces.
A Protective Shield for One of the Harshest Industrial Environments
Kiln interiors face continuous attack from heat, high humidity and acids released during lumber drying.
Silverliner is designed specifically to help isolate kiln walls from those conditions while creating a bright interior surface.
Lumber Dry Kilns Only
Silverliner is not intended for brick, tile or ceramic manufacturing kilns, where operating temperatures exceed the limits of liquid kiln coatings.
Recommended Silverliner Coverage
Coverage varies depending on surface porosity.
| Surface | Approximate Coverage |
|---|---|
| Porous Surfaces | 1 gallon / 50 sq. ft. |
| Smooth Surfaces | 1 gallon / 75 sq. ft. |
Brush, Roller or Seamless Spray
Smaller maintenance projects can be handled with conventional tools, while larger kiln jobs benefit from PACE's spray equipment.
Reduce Application Time on Larger Kiln Jobs
PACE states that Seamless Spray application is roughly two to three times faster than brush or roller methods for larger kiln projects.
Key Silverliner Specifications
60°F – 100°F
Apply Silverliner within the current PACE temperature range for kiln maintenance.
Metal, Masonry & Wood
Formulated for tight adhesion to common kiln-interior surfaces.
One Coat
Designed as a one-coat kiln-protection system.
Repair Larger Cracks and Mortar Damage Before Sealing
Silverliner works best as part of a complete kiln maintenance system.
Silverliner Cement Kiln Patch
Missing mortar, large cracks and other larger openings should be patched with Silverliner Cement before the Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer is applied. PACE states that Silverliner can be applied immediately after those repairs.

Silverliner Liquid Aluminum Kiln Sealer FAQs
What is Silverliner used for?
Silverliner is an interior sealer designed specifically for lumber dry kilns, where it creates a reflective, corrosion-resistant protective barrier.
What surfaces will Silverliner adhere to?
PACE lists vertical metal, masonry and wood surfaces as compatible kiln-interior substrates.
Can Silverliner be used in brick or ceramic kilns?
No. PACE states that Silverliner is formulated only for lumber dry kilns and should not be used in brick, tile or ceramic manufacturing kilns.
How is Silverliner applied?
Silverliner may be applied by brush, roller or PACE Seamless Spray equipment.
How much Silverliner do I need?
PACE lists approximately one gallon per 50 square feet on porous surfaces and one gallon per 75 square feet on smooth surfaces.
What temperature should Silverliner be applied at?
The current product information lists an application range of approximately 60°F to 100°F.
Do damaged areas need to be patched first?
Yes. Missing mortar, large cracks and larger openings should be repaired with Silverliner Cement before applying the finish sealer.
What sizes is Silverliner available in?
PACE lists 5-gallon and 55-gallon quantities, with a current minimum order of 30 gallons.
