Zonolite Company

Zonolite Company was a manufacturer known for producing insulation materials in the early to mid-20th century. Their most notable product was a type of insulating material containing vermiculite, a mineral often contaminated with asbestos. This asbestos-laden insulation, called Zonolite or vermiculite insulation, was widely used in homes and buildings for thermal insulation. Over time, health risks associated with asbestos exposure became apparent, leading to health issues like lung disease among those involved in its installation or renovation. Today, Zonolite is recognized as a hazardous material, and its removal is handled carefully by professionals to protect health.
