In general, yes, silicone is thought of as an insulator. It can be engineered to conduct to a degree, but is generally not a conductor of electric current. It (silicone) is often used as an insulating medium.

Is sponge a good heat insulator?

Sponge is not a good heat insulator as it is porous and can easily transfer heat. Materials like cork or fiberglass are better heat insulators due to their low thermal conductivity.


What is a good insulator and why?

a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm


Is water a good sound insulator?

A vacuum is a great sound insulator. Materials that absorb energy such as wool are good insulators as well. I heard of a silicone adhesive that transformed acoustic energies into heat - that was a good insulator if it was used to glue two sheets of something together.

Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?

Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.


Is a sponge a good insulation?

it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator


What is the difference between a good insulator and a bad one?

A good insulator is good at stopping heat escaping, whereas a bad insulator is not very good at trapping heat and lets it out.


Is zinc a good insulator?

No, zinc is not a good insulator. It is actually a good conductor of electricity and heat.


Is iron a insulator?

No because it is a good conductor of heat and electricity!


Why is a wool a good insulator?
