its a good insulator, meaning that yes, it is a good non-conductor. Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!

Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Which fabric is the best heat insulator?
Cotton And Wool
Which fabrics retain heat best nylon silk wool cotton?
Silk is well known for being warmer than wool. Nylon and cotton are poorer insulators. (As well, there are other types of "wool" which are known for being much warmer than sheep's wool...)
Is cottom wool a good insulator?
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.
What are some insulaters of heat?
air,wool garments, plastic foam cups,rubber,wood,cotton
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Is cotton wool a conductor of electricity or an insulator?
Cotton wool is not a conductor or an insulator it is a semi conductor. It is sort of in the middle, electrons can travel through cotton wool but not as good as silver, bronze, metal and so on.
Is wool a good conductor or is a good insulator?
wool holds lot of air.air being bad conductor of heat make the wool a good conductor of heat.
Is wool as good a insulator when wet?
No because water is a good conductor of heat in comparison to wool.
Why cotton and wool rough to touch?
because wool and cotton contain the air space in it. so it feels rought in touch. thats why we use it in heat conductor ......................................inder amar singh
Is cotton wool a good heat insulator?
because it can keep heat in because it is thick and good for insulation
Is wool a heat conductor or insulator?
wool is a insulator
Is cloth a good conductor of electricity?
No cloth is not a conductor of electricity .It is an insulainsulator
Which fabric is the best heat insulator?
Cotton And Wool
What is the relationship between a conductor of heat and a conductor of electricity?
In general a material is both a good conductor of electricity and heat if it has lots of free conduction band electrons, effectively forming an "electron gas". Metals are in this category. Ionic...A vaccum, cotton, dry wood, wool, polycarbonate and a number of other plastics.Potassium is a electricity conductor. gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor.In general a material is both a good conductor of electricity and heat if it has lots of free conduction band electrons, effectively forming an "electron gas".

What are not good conductors of heat and electricity?
A vaccum, cotton, dry wood, wool, polycarbonate and a number of other plastics.
Which material would be a better insulator when wet denim cotton polyester or wool?
Heat insulation would be wool. Note that denim is normally made of cotton, or a cotton/polyester blend. None of them would be very good electrical insulation when wet.
