These include macor alumina and others.
Thermal insulation materials list.
The material is rigid and has excellent mechanical and electrical properties making its use common in.
Insulating properties are complemented by the high thermal conductivity.
Some health hazardous materials that were used in the past as insulation and are now outlawed unavailable or uncommonly used are vermiculite perlite and urea formaldehyde.
This page is intended to be transcluded into other articles therefore please try to keep the changes context neutral as they will appear in several places within the wiki.
Thermal conductivity is a material property that describes ability to conduct heat thermal conductivity can be defined as the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness of a material in a direction normal to a surface of unit area due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions.
The minimum thickness of aluminium or galvanized sheets should be.
These materials have reputations for containing formaldehyde or asbestos which has essentially removed them from the list of commonly used insulation materials.
List of insulation materials.
Thermal insulation materials technical characteristics and selection criteria 55 plastic materials polythene sheets plastic films of minimum thickness of 0 2 mm or aluminium foil of minimum thickness of 0 02 mm laminated with a bitumen membrane.
Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer i e the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence.
Insulation materials run the gamut from bulky fiber materials such as fiberglass rock and slag wool cellulose and natural fibers to rigid foam boards to sleek foils.
Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.

These materials are very poor conductors of heat and are therefore good thermal insulators.
It must be added thermal insulation is primarily based on the very low thermal conductivity.
These materials are known as insulation materials.
Rigid foam boards trap air or another gas to resist heat flow.
