Method and use of organic and mineral admixtures for EMI and radioactive isotope shielding of building materials such as glass fiber wall coverings, gypsum wallboard and electrically conductive or resistive, high performance, high strength concrete

A method for producing building materials, the building materials selected from the group consisting of gypsum wallboard, mineral fiber acoustic ceiling tiles, mineral fiber acoustic panels, PVC laminated gypsum ceiling tiles, fiber glass ceiling panels, fiber glass acoustic panels, ceiling tiles and wall liners;

• the building materials containing a woven or nonwoven glass fiber paper substrate coated with an aqueous composition comprising a zeolite radiation absorbent acting as a trapping agent and a retention aid binder, the aqueous composition applied at a thickness of 0.001 in - 0.002 in., the method comprising the steps of:
• a) mixing at a ratio of 60-80% radiation absorbing zeolite and 40-20% retention aid binder in DI water at a pH 8-9 and a temperature of 28-30 deg. C. for two minutes to create an aqueous composition, then;
• b) applying the aqueous composition by spraying, dipping or coating onto the glass fiber paper substrate, then,
• c) coating an organic composition over the aqueous composition, the organic composition comprising:
• hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and ethoxylated methyl glucoside (EMG) in 60-40% ratio (HPC:EMG) in DI water (20% vol).
