Metals have rather good heat conductivity and so are poor insulators but Mercury [Hg] is relatively poor on the conductivity scale.
Another (relatively) poor conductor and one that is not a liquid at room temperature is Tungsten [W].
Alloys that are poor conductors include tungsten carbide (very hard too)
Generally, thermal insulators are constructed with as little material as possible and inert gases or vacuum to provide insulation.

What type of floor is best for heat insulation?
Polystyrene or Heated flooring
Which is the best conductor for heat?
The best metal for conducting heat is silver.
Conduction insulation radiation covection which of these is not a method of heat transfer?
Insulation is not a method of heat transfer.
What metal is the best conductor of heat?
We know that silver is the best heat conductor among the metals, followed by copper.
How does the thickness of the insulation affect heat loss?
The thicker the insulation, the more heat is kept in your home. This is because inside the insulation are tiny air bubbles, witch are not good conductors of heat. This means that the heat energy can not pass through it.
What is the best material for work gloves meant for handling burning metal?
The best material for work gloves handling burning metal are typically made from leather and Kevlar with an insulation filling to prevent heat transfer through conduction. Insulation material and insulation grams will largely determine the duration of time a glove will resist heat.
What are the best 5 heat insulation materials for building?
your mum is the best
What keeps liquids warm?
Insulation. Or added heat. Best wishes!
What type of floor is best for heat insulation?
Polystyrene or Heated flooring
Why is glass the best insulator for metal wire?
Glass has excellent insulation characteristics
Which is the best conductor for heat?
The best metal for conducting heat is silver.
What metal is the best conductor of heat energy?
Metal
Which insulation holds the heat the best?
Glass traps solar heat. Greenhouses are made of glass so they absorb heat for the plants.
What material is the best conductor of heat?
metal copper are the best conductor of heatAnswer 2 The metal with the best thermal conductivity is silver, but copper is the common metal that would be used for it is much cheaper. I believe that diamond has an even higher thermal conductivity, and for this reason is used as a thin film in semiconductor operations. But I haven't the data to hand.
What is best heat conducting metal?
Gold is the best heat conductor in the world.
Is insulation a property of metal?
No. metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. Insulation is a property of non metals.
How do you remove dried spray foam insulation eurethane from a painted metal door?
heat the other side of the door if you can & scrap off - it does work, we removed the insulation from aluminum sheeting that way
