NAPHTHALENE SCINTILATION GRADE
Application
Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon found in coal tar or crude oil. Naphthalene is used in the manufacture of plastics, resins, fuels, and dyes. It is also used as a fumigant insecticide that works by turning directly from a solid into a toxic vapor. This process is called sublimation.
Dosage
Scintillation detectors are used to detect all types of radiation, including γ-rays, electrons, neutrons, α-particles, and neutrinos. ... For example, detection of light particles such as photons requires the material to have high effective atomic weight and high density.
