Isolating Materials

Definition:
Isolating materials are substances used to insulate or separate different parts of a system, preventing heat, electricity, sound, or other forms of energy from transferring.

Technical Description:
These materials can be thermal, electrical, or sound insulators and are often used in construction, machinery, and electrical applications. Common isolating materials include fiberglass, foam, rubber, and mineral wool.

Uses:
Used in the construction industry for thermal insulation, in electronics for electrical insulation, and in various industrial applications to prevent heat loss or sound transmission.

Specs:

  • Thermal conductivity: Low
  • Resistance to heat: High
  • Applications: Insulation, soundproofing, fire resistance.
