Why can't you recycle waxed paper?

Waxed paper cannot be easily recycled because the wax coating prevents it from being broken down during the recycling process. The wax contaminates the recycling process and interferes with the paper fibers, making it difficult to separate and recycle. It is best to dispose of waxed paper in the regular trash.


Metal plastic glass or ceramic What is the best insulator?

Ceramic is the best insulator among these materials due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist conductive heat transfer. It is also non-reactive and has low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for insulating applications.


What keeps thing hotter plastic wrap aluminum foil or wax paper?

Aluminum foil is the best at keeping things hot because it reflects heat and acts as a barrier to prevent heat loss. Plastic wrap and wax paper are not as effective in retaining heat as aluminum foil.


Why is plastic foam a poor conductor of heat?

Actually, plastic is not a bad conductor of heat and electricity, it's an insulator. An insulator is a substance that resists the flow of heat or electricity through it and plastic resists both of these.


Is plastic or Styrofoam the poorest conductor of heat?

The answer to this question depends on the magic word NIC. NIC is short for non-intercellular. This means that the tiny cells within the foam do not connect with each other. The foam does not soak up lots of water. You can't blow air through it. A plastic foam which is NIC is a very poor conductor of heat - a good insulator. A plastic foam which is intercellular is not a good conductor, but it is nowhere near as poor as NIC foam. Its best use is as a sponge for soaking up water.
