No, fluorine is not a good thermal conductor, in fact, like most gasses it is really bad at it.

Thermal conductors are rated by W/cmK. Without going into the explanation, a higher number represents a better conductor, and 0.0 means no conductivity at all. Fluorine is rated at 0.000279 W/cmK. By comparison, copper, which is an excellent conductor, is rated at 4.01 W/cmK.

The pure element Fluorine is non metallic and therefore has no electrical conductivity. If Fluorine was to be combined with Hydrogen, then it can be used to conduct electricity.

Fluorine is a gas. It is anon conducting gas but I do not think anyone has ever suggested using it as n insulator.

Sulfur hexafluoride, gas, is used as an insulator in switchgear.
