Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust
Products & Services
Pursuant to a nationwide class action settlement, W.R. Grace, which operated the Zonolite company from 1963 to 1990, has funded an independent Trust and claims facility from which eligible claimants may be reimbursed up to $4,125 of their costs to remove or contain ZAI in their homes. The Trust will operate for a minimum of 20 years, educating the public about the existence of the Trust and the potential health effects associated with asbestos-containing Vermiculite/ ZAI.

About
Zonolite Insulation is the trademarked name of vermiculite mined in Libby, MT and sold as attic insulation between the 1940’s and 1990’s. Unfortunately, “Libby vermiculite” or Zonolite, is known to have contained a small amount of hazardous asbestos. Although not all vermiculite is the Zonolite brand or contains asbestos, the EPA advises that you should assume that vermiculite contains asbestos. Zonolite attic insulation, or “ZAI”, may prove harmful to residents because it remains in many attics and homes across the United States and because it is considered “friable”, i.e., easily disturbed and distributed into the air. From an economic standpoint, homeowners with vermiculite insulation are usually not eligible for weatherization subsidies and upgrades until the vermiculite is removed.
