No its not. Why? Because plastic wrap doesn't connect to coldness or warmness i was to wrap something to keep it cold it would be aluminum foil doesn't conduct any heat

What keep things colder aluminum foil or plastic wrap?
If the object is warm to begin with, aluminium foil, as it is a metal and so will conduct the heat out into the environment. (Metals feel cold because they are good conductors and so conduct the heat out of you when you touch them). If the object is cold to begin with, plastic wrap, as it is a poor donductor and will not allow heat from the environment to enter the object easily. (Plastics feel warm because they do not conduct the heat away when you touch them).
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
Is a fork a conductir or insulator?
If it is made of metal, it is a conductor. If it is wooden, it is an insulator.
Why would it be better to use a plastic spoon instead of a metal spoon to eat on a hot day?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. On a hot day the plastic spoon may stop you scalding your mouth if it is left out in the sun.
Whats a good conductor of heat?
Copper and aluminum. Most heat sinks are made of Aluminum (cheap and a good conductor of heat).
What is a good conductor for keeping things cold paper or plastic?
paper is thicker thus is hold cold or heat.
Aluminum foil is it a cold conductor?
Things do not conduct cold, they conduct heat. Being a metal aluminum foil is both a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Is a plastic pipe an insulator?
Yes , plastic is a poor conductor of heat!!:) Metal is a good conductor though
What makes things colder aluminum foil or a plastic wrap?
speaking from experience and not from science, foil is a very good conductor of heat which means it can go from hot to cold very fast (and vise versa) whereas plastic is waterproof and will keep the cold moisture (or warm moisture) in the food and we all know that water is a poor conductor of temperature thus keeping your food colder (or hotter) for longer.
Is plastic a good conductor of heat?
yes!
Is plastic wrapped around the electric wires is a good conductor?
Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.
Is plastic a good condutor?
Plastic is a non conductor of electricity.
Is plastic conductor or insulator?
Plastic is an insulator.
Is cold water best conductor of electricity?
No, but impure is a good conductor of electricity.
How does cloth keep things hot and cold?
Cloth is a bad conductors/good insulator of heat. Bad conductors keep things warm or cold, so the answer is, because cloth is a bad conductor of heat!
Is wax candle good conductor electricity?
No. It is a poor conductor of electricity. It is similar to the conducting properties of plastic.
