An electric insulator blocks the flow of electrons, stopping electricity from flowing. Some examples of electric insulators are plastic, fiber glass, rubber, and wood.
CommentAn insulator doesn't actually 'block the flow of electrons'. It simply doesn't have sufficient free electrons available to support an electric current through itself.
