Asbestos is a very good insulator for both electrical and thermal uses. It resists corrosive materials, insects, mold, vermin, etc. Unfortunately, inhaling it causes cancer.

For Thermal conductivity: Loosely packed Asbestos at -45 C 0.149 W/m C 0 C 0.154 W/m C 100 C 0.161 W/m C

Asbestos cement boards 20 C 0.74 W/m C
