No. Pure water isn't a very good conductor, but it's not an insulator either. Water with dissolved minerals ranges from an indifferent to pretty decent conductor ... not as good as most metals, but not too shabby.

Can water be used as an insulator?
Pure water is an insulator, but in the "real world", water usually has impurities - notably ions - that actually make it a good conductor. This is theory; I don't think it is practical to use water as an insulator.

Is water an insulator or conductor?
Pure water (distilled water) is an insulator. Generally we think of water as a conductor because there are impurity ions in the water, such as tap water. Pure water can't be called a conductor, but it can also conduct electricity.
Is dirty water a good insulator?
i don't think any water is a good insulator tbh:/ i spose it depends what you mean by dirty:/ sorry this probably didn't help but if it did im glad to help:L x
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Is 'dirty water' a good conductor or insulator?
yes water is a good conductor
Is salt water a conductor or a insulator?
insulator.

Is a water conductor or insulator?
Insulator
Why is the polar bear's fur not a good insulator in water?
I thought that the polar bears fur was a good insulator in water because how else would it be able to swim in the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Ocean?

Styrofoam is excellent

Is wool as good a insulator when wet?
No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.
