Many materials, styrofoam is a common one. Even air can be used to insulate heat. All materials have a thermal conductivity, in the unit Watts/meter*Kelvin. The lower the number, the less heat it transfers. So technically any material is an insulator, there are just very good ones and very poor ones.

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 graphite a heat conductor or insulator?
insulator
Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
an ideal thermal insulator does not conduct heat at all,so it keeps heat out!
How is sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?
vvvvvvv
Is wood an insulator or a conductor of heat?
wood is an insulator of heat because its electrons don't allow heat and electricity to flow through them
Is potato an insulator of heat?
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
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 graphite a heat conductor or insulator?
insulator
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
What does a heat insulator do?
. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
What does the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
Why is insulation a good insulator?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
an ideal thermal insulator does not conduct heat at all,so it keeps heat out!
What is the difference between a heat insulator and elctrical insulator?
an electrical insulator blocks the flow of electricity (like the rubber around power cords that stop you from getting electrecuted) and a heat insulator block the flow of heat (like a thermos)
Why is plastic an insulator?
Plastic is an insulator meaning it does not conduct heat .
How is a sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?
