Revise: Polymer PropertiesA thermal insulator transfers heat slowly. Most polymers are poor conductors of heat, so heat passes through them less readily than through a good conductor such as metal.
- Revise: Working Properties of Polymers
A material that transfers heat slowly because it has low thermal conductivity.
