Insulation.
Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.

nonmetals are the best insulators
A non-metal, butlook inyour science book. :)
Stripping wires involves removing the insulation around the metal core to expose the conductive material. This is necessary to connect the wire to terminals or other wires securely, ensuring a proper electrical connection.
get anything and spray the insulation around it
Belted cables have a "belt" of insulation around each sector of conductor. These were a Pre~1927 design. The belted conductors now incorporate a screen or shield to reduce the electrical stresses and allow for a radial distribution of electrical stress.
To blow in insulation in an attic, you will need a machine specifically designed for this purpose, which can usually be rented from hardware or home improvement stores. Ensure the attic is properly prepped, insulated around electrical fixtures, and that you have the necessary protective gear. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of insulation you are using.
Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage. Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.
insulation is used on all exterior walls and around windows and doors in in the attic of a home
No, the covering on the wire is insulation. This insulation is used to isolate the wire from any grounding medium, this includes a person. It is not a good idea to go around touching wires as there may be a nick in the insulation. If the nick goes all the way through to the conductor, and you touch that specific spot and you are grounded you will get a shock as you become part of the conductor.
