A total of 44 kg-scale bars of dimensions 5.5 cm $\\times$ 5.5 cm $\\times$ 50 cm of this material have been characterized. Optical properties like light output and effective attenuation length have been found to be comparable to $^6$Li-doped liquid scintillators. The scintillator EJ-299-50 shows good neutron detection capabilities with an effective efficiency for capture on $^6$Li of approximately 85%.
