It Isn't. At least, not in Solid form.
Plastic sprayed into a closed-cell foam, though, is an excellent insulator. Each "capsule" of gas or air is separated from each other by a miniscule cobvering of plastic; slowing heat transfer. Newer refrigerators have the foam sprayed in to fill all crevices.
The R-value will give you its efficiency: R-34 is twice as good as R-17, etc.
A plastic spatula is a thermal insulator, meaning it does not easily conduct heat. This is because plastic is a poor conductor of heat compared to materials like metal.
No, acrylic is not a good thermal insulator. It has low thermal resistance and can allow heat to transfer easily.
Acrylic is not a good electrical insulator because it is a conductor of electricity. However, it can be a good thermal insulator as it has low thermal conductivity.
Plastic is an insulator.
Plastic is generally an insulator, so a plastic comb cannot carry energy.
yes
Plastic is an electrical and thermal insulator.
A plastic spatula is a thermal insulator, meaning it does not easily conduct heat. This is because plastic is a poor conductor of heat compared to materials like metal.
An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.
No, acrylic is not a good thermal insulator. It has low thermal resistance and can allow heat to transfer easily.
yes plastic is very good insulator

No. Wood and plastic are two materials, not one.They can be insulators, or a composite made from wood and plastic could be an insulator but THEY cannot be ANinsulator.
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Acrylic is not a good electrical insulator because it is a conductor of electricity. However, it can be a good thermal insulator as it has low thermal conductivity.
oxygen.is the best insulator
the worst conductors of heat are wood, plastic, rubber, and cloth.
