It works by slowing down heat flow through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Common materials include fiberglass, mineral wool, foam boards, polystyrene, polyurethane, and reflective foil.
Used in buildings, industrial equipment, pipes, and appliances to maintain desired temperatures.
Helps keep heat inside during cold conditions and heat out during hot conditions.
Improves energy efficiency, reduces energy costs, and enhances comfort.
Also provides noise reduction and protection against condensation in some applications.
