Is bubble wrap a good sound insulator?

Answer 1

Bubble wrap is made up of many small pockets of air.

Air is a relatively poor conductor of heat, it mostly transfers heat via convection (movement of the heated air).

The bubble wrap prevents the air surrounding the object from convecting because it is trapped in the bubbles.

This reduces the amount of heat which can be transferred to/from the object, thus insulating it.

Answer 2

Bubble wrap is a good insulator because is uses air. Air is the best insulator there is, as long as it isn't moving. Down jackets are so warm because the feathers poof out, creating air pockets. Bubble wrap is similar, in that it traps air which then holds in heat.

Answer 3

Surprisingly, yes it is.

so is cotton and synthetic materials like polyester

Answer 4

not once its popped, which it tends to do, as its a very addictive thing popping bubblewrap :)

Answer 5

because it keeps things fresh from the open air which has germs and other molecules that could risk disease.

Answer 6

No. It is probably the wort insulator there could be. It does not keep things both warm or cold .

Answer 7

i think the bubble wrap the gas is covering by anthore by bubble and other said also bubble andit has gas inside

Answer 8

Yes it works as an insulator
