Glass is a better insulator than plastic. Plastic is used on wire for insulation purposes because of its flexibility, where as glass is not. Glass is used as insulators for holding wires to cross arms on power poles as plastic would not stand up to the weather year after year.

What is a better conductor of heat plastic or metal?
metals are better conductors of heat because they have free electrons.
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Is glass a better conductor of heat than plastic?
Glass and plastics are not good conductors of electricity.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
What is a better heat conductor paper or plastic?

What material is the better conductor of heat cold stainless steel ceramic or plastic?
The better conductor is stainless steel.
Is water a better conductor than plastic?
No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.
What are some examples of insulators of electricity?
Wood, plastic, glass, --> holds electrons tightly. opposite of conductors.
Is glass a conductor or insulator of electricity?
Glass in a molten state is a conductor of electricity. When glass turns to a solid state it becomes an insulator.Basically, glass in a window or a test tube would be the solid state and so it is a insulator of electricity.
Why is glass used for windows?
Glass is see through and is better quality than plastic. Plastic is not as see through as glass anyway.
Does plastic wrap stick better to glass bowls or metal bowls?
it clings better to plastic
What conducts most heat plastic or metal?
Metal is a better conductor
Are aliminium and plastic examples of insulators?
Aluminium is a conductor. Plastic,wood,rubber,cotton,PVC,glass are some examples for non conductors.
