abstract
Particle astrophysics experiments often require large volume neutron shields which are formed from hydrogenous material. This note reviews some of the available materials in an attempt to find the most cost effective solution. Raw polymer pellets and Water Extended Polyester (WEP) ae discussed in detail. Suppliers for some materials are given.
