BC-525 Gd Loaded, Mineral Oil Based Liquid Scintillator General Description This scintillator, with its mineral oil component, has higher light transmission and higher flash point than traditional gadolinium loaded liquids. Both of these features recommend it highly for neutron spectrometry and neutrino research. It is also more suitable for use in large tanks containing acrylic plastic components. BC-525 is available with gadolinium concentrations up to 0.5% by weight. It is the result of a long term development program and possesses the two important properties of high light transmission and long term chemical stability.
