firstly do you mean and insulator of heat or current?

in solids heat is transferred by the free electrons in the material so if the material has no free electron (e.g plastic) then heat cant dissipated throw it. current (electricity) is a flow of electrons so if there are no free electron no current can flow.

i hope that answers your question.
