Hi, the question is ambiguous. There are conductive plastics (cfr, antistatic bubble packs. these bags/mats have one side which is (albeit with high resistance), conductive) so as to harmlessly bleed static.
Ceramics can have high/very high resistance insofar they are usable as insulator.
Other mixes, or doped/contaminated ceramics can be conductive. A lathe chisel cutting bit can be a ceramic, it is harder than "widia", but it is conductive.
(widia is a sintered metals oxides mix, not a ceramic)
Enamel is a ceramic, and that too is conductive. (you can draw a static spark on an enamel surface on a gas range.)
Static, it can build up to a very high voltage with low potency, it can kill consumergoods like PC motherboards. The person may not even feel it happenned, yet the discharge happened and the component touched cannot dissipate the high voltage fast enough so it dies. (PC components running on 1.5V getting over a 1.000V burst, par example. One should know static can be as high as 80.000V when the person has been wearing insulator clothing.)
See what I mean?
Kind regards, Jaak
What else can I help you with?
Is glass a good heat insulator wrapped with tin foil?
No, glass is not a good heat insulator. Wrapping glass with tin foil may reflect some heat, but it won't significantly improve its insulating properties. Materials like ceramic or foam are better heat insulators than glass.
Is glass a better insulator than styrofoam?
No, styrofoam is a better insulator than glass. Styrofoam has a lower thermal conductivity and traps air pockets within its structure, which helps to reduce heat transfer. Glass, on the other hand, is a poor insulator because it has higher thermal conductivity and allows heat to pass through more easily.
Which is a better insulator plywood or glass if the same thickness of material is used How do you know?
Glass is a better insulator than plywood when the same thickness of material is used. This is because glass has lower thermal conductivity than plywood, meaning it can restrict the flow of heat better. You can determine this by looking up the thermal conductivity values of plywood and glass and comparing them.
Why does liquid heat faster when microwaved in a glass cup instead of a ceramic mug?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat compared to ceramic, which allows the heat to penetrate the liquid more effectively. The smooth surface of glass also helps to evenly distribute the heat, resulting in faster heating compared to the rough surface of a ceramic mug.
Is air or fiberglass a better insulator?
Fiberglass is a better insulator than air because it has the ability to trap air pockets within its fibers, which reduces heat transfer. This makes fiberglass a more effective thermal insulator compared to the air itself.
Does china retain heat better than glass?
No, glass typically retains heat better than china because glass is a better insulator. China, being a ceramic material, tends to conduct heat more efficiently compared to glass.
Is glass a good heat insulator wrapped with tin foil?
No, glass is not a good heat insulator. Wrapping glass with tin foil may reflect some heat, but it won't significantly improve its insulating properties. Materials like ceramic or foam are better heat insulators than glass.
Why does the glass on a window pane feel cooler to the touch than the wood frame surrounding the glass?
Wood is a better thermal insulator than glass, which is easily cooled.
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
Why does a double glass window have argon?
Because argon is a better insulator than air
What is the advantage of a glass coffee mug over a ceramic one?
Coffee mugs are usually made of ceramic earthenware materials instead of glass, because materials such as porcelain retain heat better than glass. If glass gets too hot, it will shatter.
Is glass a better insulator than styrofoam?
No, styrofoam is a better insulator than glass. Styrofoam has a lower thermal conductivity and traps air pockets within its structure, which helps to reduce heat transfer. Glass, on the other hand, is a poor insulator because it has higher thermal conductivity and allows heat to pass through more easily.

Glass is a better insulator than plywood when the same thickness of material is used. This is because glass has lower thermal conductivity than plywood, meaning it can restrict the flow of heat better. You can determine this by looking up the thermal conductivity values of plywood and glass and comparing them.
Is wood a better insulator than glass?
No. Wood has more air in it than glass, and air is pretty much accepted to be one of the best insulators ever.
Which substance is the best insulator air glass or silver?
Air is the best insulator of the three substances mentioned (air, glass, and silver) because it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Glass is better than silver at insulating heat due to its higher resistance to heat transfer, but both air and glass have better insulating properties than silver. Silver is a good conductor of heat and electricity, making it a poor insulator compared to air and glass.
