Cotton wool has a very low density and has thousands of pockets to trap air in. Because of this, cotton wool is a good insulator, but there are others that are better. As a rule of thumb, the lower the density, the better the insulator. There are virtually no exceptions to this.

Why are wool socks a good insulator?

Wool is both a good thermal insulator and good electrical insulator. However as most wool socks are knitted they have many small openings that electric sparks could jump through, so they are not safe to insulate high voltages.

Is wool a good sound insulator?

Yes, wool is a good sound insulator because it has natural properties that absorb sound waves and reduce echoes. It is often used in soundproofing applications for its ability to dampen noise.


Is wool good insulator?

Yes wool is a good insulator because it is dense. That's why sheep's wool is fluffy, because it's dense. You can find this at farms!!!!!!!


Is felt or fabric or wool a good insulator?

Wool is a good insulator because it has natural properties that trap air, creating a barrier against heat loss. Felt and some fabrics can also provide insulation, but they may not be as effective as wool due to their composition and density.
