Zonolite Asbestos Attic Insulation — Mesothelioma Compensation

Zonolite was W.R. Grace's vermiculite attic insulation product, derived from the company's Libby, Montana vermiculite mine — contaminated with tremolite and actinolite amphibole asbestos. Estimated 35+ million American homes contain Zonolite in their attics. Insulation workers, contractors, and even DIY homeowners disturbing Zonolite face documented elevated mesothelioma risk. The W.R. Grace bankruptcy and subsequent asbestos trust pay claims to exposed workers and homeowners.
