EJ-212 plastic Scintillator

distributed by

This is the truly general purpose scintillator suitable for use in geometrics ranging from very thin films to thick cast sheets, rods, and ingots.   EJ-212 embodies the formula and excellent overall characteristics of the most diversely applied plastic scintillator used over the past twenty years.   Applications include industrial and health physics measurement of alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation as well as in numerous medical instruments and scientific research ranging from low background shields in nuclear physics to space-borne astrophysics systems.

Since it is formulated for very wide application range, it is best utilized in sizes up to 100 cm long.   EJ-200 should be considered for longer pieces.   The EJ-212 emission spectrum couples well with common blue-sensitive phototubes and also is sufficiently long to work well with standard acrylic light guides.
