If something doesn't let electrical charges to flow through easily, it is called an electrical insulator.
Rubber is generally considered an insulator, meaning it does not easily allow charges to move freely through it. This is due to the polymer structure of rubber that restricts the flow of electrons.

Insulators
Insulators, such as rubber, plastic, or glass, do not allow the passage of electric charges through them because they hold onto their electrons strongly and do not allow them to move freely. This prevents the flow of electricity through the material.
A materiel that allows an electric charge to pass through it is an conducter (copper, for example)
Insulator. Latex is considered an insulator because it does not conduct electricity well and does not allow charges to flow freely through it. This property makes latex a good choice for making balloons, as it helps retain the static charge used to stick balloons to surfaces.
Conductors, such as metals.
Materials that allow electric charges to move freely through them are called conductors. Examples include metals like copper, silver, and gold. Conductors have low resistance to the flow of electric current.
Steel scissors are conductors because they allow the flow of electricity due to the metal material they are made of. Conductors have properties that allow electric charges to move freely through them.
No, electric charges cannot flow through all materials. Materials that allow electric charges to flow easily are called conductors, while materials that do not allow charges to flow easily are called insulators. Conductors like metals allow charges to flow freely, while insulators like rubber inhibit the flow of charges.
A charge moves easier through metal because metals are good conductors of electricity, allowing the charge to flow more freely. Air is a poor conductor of electricity, so charges do not move as easily through it.
Tinfoil is a conductor because it allows electric charges to flow freely along its surface. Insulators, on the other hand, do not allow electric charges to flow easily.
