Some materials such as "silicon dioxide or Teflon" are very good electrical insulators. A much larger class of materials, for example "rubber-like polymers and most plastics" are still "good enough" to insulate electrical wiring and cables even though they may have lower bulk resistivity. These materials can serve as practical and safe insulators for low to moderate voltages (hundreds, or even thousands, of volts)."

What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
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 are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
Why are Popsicle sticks good insulators?
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.

Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
