Since plastic is bad conductor of heat it does not allow free passage of heat...Its molecules (each of them) hide some heat energy and pass on the rest whereas in the case of metals which are very good conductors(in general) of heat the molecules allow better passage of heat . Since less heat passes on to ice when coated with plastic than metals, the ice melts slower in plastic than metals.

Which would melt first aluminum or iron?
The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.
Does ice melt faster in air?
an ice cube melts faster in water.it depends on the temperature of the air or water, if the water is warmer than the room air temperature, it will melt faster in the water.
Does tap water melt faster than salt water?
Yes
How does ice melt faster than soda?
soda is fizzy ice is not
Does an ice cube melt faster than an ice berg?
An Ice cube melts faster cause an Iceberg is bigger which takes it a long time to melt sometimes it can even take years for an iceberg to melt.
Does paper break down faster than plastic?
yes paper breaks down faster than plastic
Why plastic burns faster than paper?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Why do paper burn faster than plastic?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Why does paper decompose faster than plastic in soil?
Paper is made out of plants and their normally faster to dissolve.
Why is a brown paper bag better for preserving evidence than a plastic bag?
Because paper disintegrates faster than plastic
What heats up faster paper plastic or black plastic?
well if you do it then paper burns MUCH faster than plastic...Thanks.
Will ice melt faster in plastic or styrifoam?
it is a greater conducter of heat than styrofoam
What will burn faster a crumpled paper or a flat one?
stone is faster than paper because it has more mass so more gravity include on it
Which would melt faster ice cream or yogurt?
Ice cream will melt faster than yogurt, as yogurt does not melt.
Why are paper bags more eco-friendly than clear plastic bags?
Brown paper bags are more eco-friendly because they are often made of biodegradable paper and will biodegrade much faster than clear plastic shopping bags.
Do water melt faster than air?
air does not melt.
Why does ice melt faster on black than white paper?
black absorbs heat, giving it more heat to melt the ice
