Insulator
it is very good insulator
Electrical or thermal? Either way, it's an insulator.
insulator
It's not metal or copper like wires. Metal is an easy conductor of heat. Styrofoam isn't. Therefore making it an insulator. Answered by a fifth grade student
Styrofoam is an insulator.

No it is an insulator, since it does not conduct current (as long as it is dry). It would not be my first choice as an insulator since it is flammable, and generates toxic gasses when it is burned.

Insulator, same as for electricity. An example of insulators (of heat) is Styrofoam.
Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.
no
Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat; it is largely used as a thermal insulator.
Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass and dry air.
