Thermal resistance is the resistance of a substance or material to the conduction of thermal energy, or heat. For stuff at the high end of the scale, that is, for stuff having a whole lot of thermal resistance, we might use the term thermal insulator.

What is thermal risistance?

Thermal resistance is a measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of heat through it. It is used to quantify how well a material can insulate against heat transfer. A lower thermal resistance value indicates better thermal insulation properties.
