Cloth is a good insulator because its fibers trap air pockets, which reduces heat transfer through conduction and convection. Additionally, cloth is often thick and dense, which further hinders the movement of heat.

What are two materials that act as good insulators?

Two materials that act as good insulators are rubber and wool. Rubber is a good insulator because it has a high resistance to electrical current, while wool is a good insulator because of its ability to trap air and prevent heat transfer.


What are good insulators?

Good insulators include glass, styrofoam, plastic, wood, rubber, cloth, air, glass, and etc. It really depends on what you want to use it for. For example, fiberglass or styrofoam works the best as heat insulators. And rubber or glass as electric insulators.


What is the difference between good conductors and good insulators?

Conductors are good energy carriers they allow energy to pass through them easily examples are steel,metals and cooper. Insulators do not allow energy (or heat) to pass through them easily such examples are wood oven mitts and cloth. ..... unless the person asking the question was referring to electricity. I dont think wood, oven mitts and cloth would be good examples for electrical insulators, as they are susceptible to collecting moisture, which is an electrical carrier.
