  The discovery of scintillation in the blue regime from polyethylene
naphthalate (PEN), a commonly used high-performance industrial polyester
plastic, has sparked considerable interest from the physics community as a new
type of plastic scintillator material. This observation in addition to its good
mechanical and radiopurity properties makes PEN an attractive candidate as an
active structure scintillator for low-background physics experiments. This
paper reports on investigations of its potential in terms of production tests
of custom made tiles and various scintillation light output measurements. These
investigations substantiate the high potential of usage of PEN in
low-background experiments.
