BC-531 Liquid Scintillator General Description This scintillator provides a combination of properties of particular value to the research physicist. These are: Chemical compatibility with nearly all plastics High light output High flash point Moderate cost BC-531 is particularly suited for intermediate sized detectors in which the containers are fabricated with common plastic materials such as PVC and acrylics. The scintillator provides over twice the light output of mineral oil based liquids having similar plastic compatability.
