Hi George,

I below is the reply from Chuck.  I have replied to him stating that I
will pass his message along to the collaboration, and they should hear
back from us shortly.

Hi Paul,

Yes.  Your remember correctly.  It was I, when I set up the Bicron Organic 
Scintillator operation in 1981, that established the formula for BC-600. 
Over the years, I have not found a material with the nice blend of 
properties that BC-600 has and , hence, our EJ-500 is the same stuff. 
Exactly.

We would be happy to quote on your 200 gallons of EJ-500, packaged in gallon 
cans which would be a fairly convenient size for your use since the mixed 
epoxy batches should be kept relatively small so as to avoid exotherm 
build-ups in large mised batches.  Gallon packaging of the resin component 
would realize some nice economies.  The hardener would be supplied in a 
single glass bottle, 1 quart hardener to about 1 gallon of resin.

The EJ-500 data sheet is attached for your convenience.

Your project sounds very interesting.  If you have an easy to send 
description, I would enjoy reading about it.

Feel free to come back with any additional questions you might have.

All the best........Chuck
