Re: Alternative Insulation
And just to muddy the waters or provide some clarity, as a general rule the denser a material is the more likely it is to have a higher thermal conductivity, although there are exceptions eg the thermal conductivity of lead Pb is 35 W/mK while that of aluminium Al is 250. Although their densities are Pb 11340 kg/mxmxm and Al 2712.
