insulation materials
Heat-flow resistance products
Materials that resist heat transfer, sound transmission, or electrical conduction.
In construction, insulation materials like fiberglass, foam, or cellulose slow heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer: We added insulation materials to the attic.
Electrical insulation materials—rubber, plastic, ceramic—prevent current from escaping wires and cables.
