Insulation slows down the loss of energy (heat flow) from the water in the pipe to the surroundings. It will protect from losing heat by convection (wind moving past the pipe removes heat faster than stationary air). If the temperature is cold enough, for a long enough time, eventually it will freeze, even with insulation.

How does water pipe insulation work?
pipe insulation have very low value of thermal conductivity. this is because of the air pockets or pores present in insulation or bad heat conducting elements such as glass...Most decent pipe insulation works by wrapping the pipe inside a mass of tiny air bubbles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Air is the insulation in almost all the available insulation's. It is important that the bubbles are very tiny as bubbles over 16mm will start a convection current that will transfer the heat across the cell. The problem with insulation is, it only slows the transfer of heat. Given time all the heat in a pipe will transfer through the insulation and the pipe will freeze. It is important that all exposed pipes and any pipes that are below freezing for some time are fitted with electrical ribbon heating to maintain their temperature above freezing.

How can I effectively stop a leaking pipe with water in it?
To effectively stop a leaking pipe with water in it, you can use a pipe repair clamp or a pipe wrap tape to temporarily seal the leak. First, turn off the water supply to the pipe. Then, clean and dry the area around the leak before applying the clamp or tape according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should help stop the leak until a permanent fix can be made.
How can I effectively stop water leakage from a plastic pipe?
To effectively stop water leakage from a plastic pipe, you can use a pipe repair clamp or a pipe sealant specifically designed for plastic pipes. Make sure to clean and dry the area around the leak before applying the repair method. If the leak is significant, you may need to replace the damaged section of the pipe.
Why does it stop roads from freezing?
if your talking about salt, it only adds friction and therefore grip for vehicles, it doesnt stop them freezing
How do you stop condensation on water pipes?
To stop condensation on water pipes, you can insulate the pipes with foam pipe insulation. This helps regulate the temperature of the pipes and prevents moisture from forming on the surface. You can also reduce humidity in the area by using a dehumidifier or improving ventilation.
How do you stop pipes from sweating?
You need to wrap your pipes with insulation. The insulation is sold in six foot lengths at most plumbing or A/C supply stores. You should get insulation that is slightly larger inside diameter than the outside diameter of your pipes. The wall thickness should be at least one inch. Make sure you use duct tape or electrical tape when covering turns in the pipe.
How do you stop bread mold?
You can't stop it but you can slow it down by freezing it.
What do you add to diesel to stop it freezing?
Anti gel at a truck stop...
What is the purpose of insulation?
The purpose of insulation, I think, is to stop or slow down conduction. I am still trying to figure out why...
How can I effectively stop water leakage from a pipe?
To effectively stop water leakage from a pipe, you can use a pipe repair clamp, pipe sealant, or pipe tape to seal the leak. Additionally, you can replace the damaged section of the pipe or tighten any loose fittings to prevent further leakage.
