No, an insulator is not better when wet. In general, moisture can reduce the insulating properties of materials, as water can conduct electricity and facilitate the flow of electrical currents. Wet conditions can lead to increased conductivity, making the insulator less effective in preventing the transfer of electricity or heat.
What else can I help you with?
Which is the better thermal insulator saw dust or styrofoam?
saw dust is the better termal insulator
How do you use insulator in a sentence?
That wire could use a better insulator.
Is bubble wrap or plastic wrap a better insulator?
It is an insulator. It would take many wraps to make it become a good insulator. There are much better products in the market place to use for insulation purposes which are much safer.
Is rubber an insulator of electricity?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Is a plastic comb a conductor or insulator if wet?
A plastic comb is generally an insulator, even when wet. However, when water is present, it can slightly increase the conductivity of the surface due to the impurities in the water, allowing for some charge transfer. Still, it does not become a good conductor like metals; it remains primarily an insulator with reduced effectiveness.
Is cloth a good insulator?
cloth is an insulator but woolen cloth is a better insulator. I guess the whatever depends on the cloth quality dude.
Is an insulator for electricity?
yes if it is not wet.
Is rubber insulator or a conductor?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
Is your body when your skin is wet a conductor or insulator?
a conductor
What is a better insulator plastic or wood?
The better insulator is plastic because wood can get wet easily and stay wet longer than plastic.
Which is the better thermal insulator saw dust or styrofoam?
saw dust is the better termal insulator
Is dark wool an insulator?
Wool of any color acts as an insulator, because it can trap and hold air - even when it's wet.
Is a paper conductor or insulator of electricity?
Paper is an insulator of electricity.

It is an insulator. It would take many wraps to make it become a good insulator. There are much better products in the market place to use for insulation purposes which are much safer.
Is wallpaper a better insulator of heat or is tin foil better?
Any metal is a terrible insulator of heat. Wallpaper would be much better.
Which material would be a better insulator when wet-denim cotton polyester or wool?
Heat insulation would be wool. Note that denim is normally made of cotton, or a cotton/polyester blend. None of them would be very good electrical insulation when wet.
