Let's consider hot water pipes during winter. Our job is to cover the metal pipe with something that will stop the heat from escaping into the outside air before we can use it. In order to choose a material for insulation, you must consider the factors of heat conductivity of the insulating material; chemical reactivity of the insulating material with both a) the material to be insulated (such as hot water in a pipe), and b) the material to be insulated from (such as the cold outside air); and what temperature range the insulating material is expected to withstand. Asbestos is a great material for insulation. It has a huge resistance to burning or freezing and has a very low heat conductivity. Unfortunately it also causes cancer, so it is no longer used in places where people can be exposed to it. Fiberglass is now used for most hot water pipe insulation. It has low heat conductivity, is durable, and is cost effective.
