Powder Coating n EL L&L Kilns

Reduce Corrosion

  • Clay, when heated, is corrosive (for instance, sulfur in clay makes sulfuric acid when heated with water vapor).
  • All sectional L&L kilns feature stainless steel cases. All screws used in the case construction are stainless steel.
  • The hinge parts are made of heavy-gauge stainless steel.
 

Stands Are Aluminumized steel

  • The stands of most L&L kilns are made from aluminized steel, which resists high temperatures.
 

Cases Of Front-Loading Kilns Are Powder-Coated Heavy Fabricated Gauge Steel

  • L&L uses heavy-gauge steel (1/8" thick) for both of its Easy-Load front-loading kilns. This sets them apart from other front-loading kilns on the market.
  • The cases are powder-coated, which provides an excellent barrier to protect the steel from the corrosive atmospheres.
 

Recommended Ventilation

  • Note: Proper ventilation of your kiln will also help prevent corrosion. Even stainless steel will corrode under some of the conditions that can be present in a kiln. Install a down-draft vent (the Vent-Sure) to remove corrosive fumes. A room vent and/or a hood vent do not extract the corrosive fumes from a kiln.
