Best Answer

Barrier Foil laminates has 80 times more protection to moisture vapour ingress from 500 gauge polyethylene. They provide a good cost effective, flexible alternative to heavy duty plain plastic pouches and bags. With added benefit of total/near total barrier to gas ingress such as O2, N2, CO2 etc depending upon the specification chosen. They can offer excellent light fast protection to prevent colour fade or spoilage by UV light. They provide good hermetic barrier to prevent biological effects such as mould. Flexible nature makes it format friendly, easily fabricated in 2 or 3 dimensions to make barriers of all shapes and sizes. Readily heat sealable with correct heat sealing equipment to give all of the above.

Is cotton a better insulator than aluminium foil and tissue paper?

No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
