ALH-Systems, a trusted UK manufacturer of specialist resin systems, has released a practical and informative video guide to help users correctly mix their two-part resin products. This instructional film is designed to support engineers, contractors, and technicians across sectors like utilities, telecoms, rail, and electronics—where proper resin application is critical to system integrity, safety, and long-term performance.

The video, available now on YouTube (Watch here), offers a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the correct resin mixing process, with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and real-world application.

Why Mixing Matters

Two-part resins are commonly used for sealing, potting, bonding, and insulating in a wide range of technical applications. They typically consist of a resin base (Part A) and a hardener or activator (Part B). When mixed correctly in the right proportions, these components react chemically to form a durable, cured material.

However, incorrect mixing—whether through inaccurate ratio measurement, poor technique, or environmental mismanagement—can result in underperformance or even total product failure. Improper curing can compromise electrical insulation, structural strength, chemical resistance, or adhesion—potentially leading to safety hazards or costly remedial work.

This is why ALH-Systems’ new video has been welcomed by professionals looking for clarity and consistency in resin application.

What the Video Covers

The short film, shot at ALH-Systems’ production and training facility, covers the essential best practices needed to ensure every 2-part resin mix performs as intended.

Key points include:

  • Correct Ratio Measurement:
    The video explains how to mix the resin and hardener accurately according to the product’s datasheet. Viewers are shown how the correctly ratioed kit ensures the chemical reaction occurs correctly.
  • Mixing Technique:
    It demonstrates a thorough mixing method to prevent under-mixed areas. This ensures the full chemical cure is achieved throughout the batch.
  • Understanding Pot Life:
    Pot life (or working time) is the period during which the mixed resin remains workable before it begins to cure. The video offers advice on monitoring this time frame and applying the resin within it to avoid material waste and poor bonding.
  • Environmental Considerations:
    The film also touches on the impact of ambient temperature and humidity on viscosity, cure time, and flow characteristics. Working in unsuitable conditions can accelerate or delay curing, which can affect performance.
  • Application Tips:
    The video concludes by showing how to apply the resin effectively using the correct tools, whether for sealing cable joints, potting electronics, or bonding components.

Real-World Value for Installers and Engineers

Resins Sales manger for ALH-SystemsALH-Systems’ Resin Sales Manager, Mick Reynolds, commented on the value of the video:

“We created this guide to help professionals avoid the common pitfalls we see in the field. Inconsistent mixing not only wastes product—it can lead to system failures that damage reputations and increase costs. This video makes best practice accessible to every technician, whether they’re in a workshop or on site.”

This is especially relevant for projects where the resin plays a critical protective role—such as telecom and power cable joints, rail signalling, or sensor encapsulation in exposed environments. In these scenarios, the quality of the mix can directly influence the long-term success of the installation.

Supporting Quality Through Training

The release of the video aligns with ALH-Systems’ broader approach to customer support, which includes on-site training, technical datasheets, and product-specific advice from in-house specialists. The company continues to supply high-performance resin systems tailored to different curing speeds, operating temperatures, and strengths.

By sharing this training content publicly, ALH-Systems aims to raise industry standards and reduce the risk of preventable errors in the use of resin kits—especially among less experienced users or subcontractors.

“We’re committed to delivering not just materials, but confidence. The more we can help our customers do things right the first time, the better the results—for everyone involved,” added Mick Reynolds.

Next Steps: Watch and Apply

Professionals using ALH-Systems products—or any two-part resin—are encouraged to watch the full video and share it with colleagues and project teams.
