Steel is able to dissipate heat energy by having delocalised electrons. this means that the electrons are able to move and thus use up energy. This is not the case in polystyrene as the atomic structure does not allow any movement.

Which materials keep things warm?

Materials such as wool, down feathers, and thermal fabrics like fleece are good at trapping heat and keeping things warm. Insulating materials like foam and polystyrene also help to maintain warmth by preventing heat loss through conduction. Additionally, materials like stainless steel and glass can be used for containers that can retain heat for longer periods of time.


Does a drink stay cooler in a steel box?

Steel conducts heat relatively well, so a steel box is of limited usefulness in keeping a drink cool. A Styrofoam box works better. Your refrigerator may have a steel shell, but it also has insulation packed between the layers of steel.
