Aluminum Kiln Seal Reduces Wood Curing Time


	ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL

	CONTROLS HEAT & MOISTURE PROTECTS DRY KILNS REDUCES FUEL COSTS REDUCES WOOD CURING TIME SIMPLE TO APPLY

	ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL is an asphalt based material which provides a tough, heat-holding film over masonry, metal or wood dry kilns, preventing the deterioration of these surfaces. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL contains a superior grade of specially processed asphalt and high grade aluminum flakes that provide extra long service life.

	ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL Control Heat & Moisture Lumber is processed in dry kilns to remove excess moisture. High heat is used for this process. Temperatures in the dry kiln average 176? - 185? Fahrenheit. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 7.5 lbs./inch?. The difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the dry kiln causes heat and moisture to squeeze through the walls, doors, etc. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL provides a rugged barrier helping to control heat? and moisture loss within the dry kiln. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL Protects Dry Kilns Heated air laden with moisture rises to the ceilings in dry kilns.? ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL retards this moisture from attacking ceiling, walls, and decking of dry kilns. This substantially reduces expensive structural repairs or replacements. Proper application of ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL is beneficial in helping the dry kiln operate efficiently for extended periods. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL Reduces Fuel Costs ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL forms an air-resistant, moisture and waterproof barrier. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL controls air seeping into the dry kiln while retarding moisture and heat from escaping. Steady heat is maintained, reducing fuel costs, making the operation more efficient. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL Reduces Wood Curing Time Heat and moisture ratios within the dry kilns are more easily and effectively controlled with ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL. With a steady temperature maintained, lumber is cured more rapidly, steadily and efficiently. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL Simple To Apply ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL is ready to apply as it comes from the pail. No thinning is required. ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL is applied to dry kiln interiors by using either a brush or spray. It is advisable to leave an ALUMINUM KILN-SEAL coated dry kiln open and inoperative for two days. If this is impossible, the dry kiln may be used immediately.

APPLICATION GUIDE LINES

Aluminum Kiln Seal has penetrating properties that aid in creating an effective vapor barrier. For that reason coverage rates vary depending on the porosity of the surface KILN SEAL is applied to. The following rates are guidelines only.

NON-POROUS SURFACES (ALUMINUM AND OTHER METALS). 1 GALLON PER 300-350 SQUARE FEET.

MODERATELY POROUS (CONCRETE BLOCK OR BRICK) 1 GALLON PER 200-250 SQUARE FEET

VERY POROUS (HAYDITE OR CINDER BLOCK) 1 GALLON PER 100-150 SQUARE FEET.
