is Insulation
Material that retards or prevents the progression or transmission of electricity heat, moisture, shock, or sound from one item or medium to another.
Radiation: The transfer of heat energy from a high temperature body , through space , to another lower temperature body .

Heat: Heat is defined as the form of energy that is transferred between two systems , or a system and its surrounding , by virtue of temperature difference. Heat transfer to a system is positive , and heat transfer from a system is considered ve.
Thermal conductivity : Thermal Conductivity of a substance determines the quantity of heat passing per unit area at a temp. drop of 1 C per unit length. o Basically it is ability to transfer heat 1 Kcal / hr. m. C = 1.163 W/m K In SI Unit : Q is in J/sec or watt , Therefore unit of k = [( J/sec)/m2] . m/K or W/mK

Properties of some common insulating material: EPS/PUF : Good for cold insulation, moldable, but highly inflammable.
Mineral wool: Good for ambient temperature / high temperature application , non inflammable.
Refractory / Ceramic : Good for very high temp., high compressive strength, no moisture absorption.
