No, you could not describe it as an insulator, though it is less conductive than many other metals like copper, silver, and aluminum. You may be thinking of insulating flasks made of stainless steel. These work because they are double skinned, on the same principle as a thermos flask.

Why wool is a good insulater?
I think thAT WOOL IS A GOOD INSULATER BECAUSE IT IS
What is an opposite of an insulater?
A conductor, that conducts heat or energy well
What does a insulater do?
Blocks flow of (1) electric current and/or (2) heat
What is the difference between conductor and insulater?
A conductor can conduct heat and electricity, but an insulator can't.
Is wood a insulater or conductor?
Wood is a very good insulator
Which insulates heat the most paper cotton or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.

Is cotton a good inslator?
cotton is a good insulater yes cotton is a good insulater because it adsorbs sound
Is gold a conducter an insulater of heat?
Metals are conductors of heat. Gold is a metal.

What does a insulater do?
Blocks flow of (1) electric current and/or (2) heat
Is steel a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes. Steel has mobile electrons to conduct electricity and heat.
Is steel a good conductor of heat?
yes
What are Good insulaters of heat?
Iron and steel.
Which matter is the conducter of electric but insulater of heat?
Normally, materials which are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. This is because both electrical conductivity and heat conductivity is enhanced by mobile electrons, thus making metals both good electrical conductors and good heat conductors. However, I do not know if there might be an exception...
Why is wadding or filling a good insulater?
Wadding, or filling, will trap pockets of air. As the air is trapped, it cannot convect heat so easily, and it is also more difficult for heat to be conducted. So, trapped air is a good insulator.
Why is glass a good insulater?
glass is a non conductor
