Expanded polystyrene (packing foam) is generally considered a good heat insulator. Aerogel is considered to be one of the best insultators: You can place a Bunsen burner flame on one side of a thin slice of aerogel and your hand on the other side and not get burned.

What materials are thermal insulators?
A thermal insulator is a material which does not allow the passage of heat; therefore the particles which make up the material are not free to move. Plastics, wood, and air can be thermal insulators providing that NO thermal currents can develop. Air in trapped clothing, air between the panes of glass in double glazing are examples, as are a lid to cover the coffee mug.
What are thermal insulators?
A thermal insulator slows or stops the passage of heat through it.
Examples of insulators of electricity?
Here are some examples for you; I hope they work!plasticrubberglassleadwoodclaypolyethylenediamondsoxygensulfurphosphorusI hope this helps!
Three examples of insulators?
Cotton, plastic, wood are 3 examples of insulators
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
What are 5 examples of thermal insulators?
Rubber, tinfoil, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam and plastic
What do thermal insulators have?
Thermal insulators have insulating capabilities. This means that they do not have any aspect that allows them to conduct thermal energy.
What things are thermal insulators?
some examples are coffe cups, coffe mugs styrofoam cups and coolers.
What are 3 examples of insulators?
examples plastic Rubber oil
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.

What materials do not transfer heat easily?
An insulator is a material that does not allow a transfer of electricity or heat energy. Materials that are poor thermal conductors can also be described as being good thermal insulators. Feather, fur, and natural fibers are all examples of natural insulators
Does not transfer thermal energy?
Thermodynamic Insulators
What does not transfer thermal energy?
Thermodynamic Insulators
What are thermal insulators?
A thermal insulator slows or stops the passage of heat through it.
What do you call substances that will not let thermal heat pass through them?
thermal insulator
What is the opposite of thermal insulators?
The opposite would be thermal conductors, as are used on cooling radiators.
