EBO offers premium Plastic Scintillator designed for a wide range of radiation detection applications. Our Plastic Scintillator materials combine excellent light output, fast response times, and durable mechanical properties, making them an ideal choice for both scientific research and industrial use.


What is a Plastic Scintillator?


A Plastic Scintillator is a type of scintillation crystal made from organic polymer matrices doped with fluorescent molecules. When exposed to ionizing radiation such as alpha, beta, or gamma rays, the Plastic Scintillator emits photons, enabling efficient radiation detection with fast timing performance.



Key Advantages of EBO Plastic Scintillator


High Light Output: Our Plastic Scintillator delivers strong photon emission, ensuring accurate and sensitive radiation detection.

Fast Decay Time: The rapid scintillation decay characteristic of our Plastic Scintillator allows high count rates and precise timing measurements.

Versatile Shapes and Sizes: EBO provides Plastic Scintillator in various customizable forms — sheets, rods, blocks, and films — tailored to specific detector designs.

Robust Mechanical Properties: Unlike many inorganic crystals, the Plastic Scintillator is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to mechanical stress, facilitating easy integration in diverse environments.

Wide Application Range: Our Plastic Scintillator is widely used in nuclear radiation monitoring, particle physics experiments, environmental safety, and security screening.

BGO Scintillation Crystal Bismuth Germanate

BGO (Bismuth Germanate) is a high-Z, high-density scintillating crystal. The material has a high atomic number (Z=83 for bismuth) and a density of 7.13 g/cm³, making it a highly efficient gamma-ray absorber.
Due to the high-Z properties of the material, the gamma-ray-induced light absorption fraction is significantly enhanced, resulting in an excellent peak-to-total ratio.

CSI Scintillation Crystal Cesium Iodide

Cesium iodide (CsI(Tl)), activated by thallium, is one of the most efficient scintillators discovered so far. CSI Crystal exhibits thallium-activated luminescence with an emission peak at 550 nm and a light output of 45% relative to NaI(Tl). In contrast, cesium iodide activated by sodium (CsI(Na)) features a sodium-activated emission peak at 420 nm and a higher light output (85% of NaI(Tl)). Both materials share properties such as deliquescence, soft and plastic mechanical behavior, radiation resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and fast timing characteristics (for pure CsI). They are widely used in particle detection for high-energy physics experiments, medical SPECT imaging, baggage/container security inspection, industrial level sensing and non-destructive testing, and cosmic ray research in space physics.
