The word is related insulation to prevent the passage or transmission of sound, heat or cold, etc. When we speak of isolator we also refer to the act that distances a person from communicating with others and abstracting the immediate reality of the senses or of the mind that is formed through an intellectual operation a mental idea or notion of an object, extracting the objects particular real, essential and common features.
For its part, a material that prevents the transmission of something like electricity is also known as an insulator, which is a set of physical phenomena derived from the effect produced by movement and the interaction between positive and negative electric charges, humidity, which is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, etc. That is why in this way it can be said that there are different types of insulation such as thermal, electrical, acoustic insulation, etc.
The thermal insulator is a material used in construction and industry, which are a set of operations for obtaining, processing and transport of raw materials, characterized by high thermal resistance that establishes a barrier to the passage of heat between two media that naturally would have to equalize the temperature, preventing the heat from penetrating the system dividers, such as those on the door, the refrigerator, etc.
The electrical insulator is the one that is produced when it covers an element of an electrical installation with a material that is not conductive that allows the passage of heat or electricity, because it is a material that resists the passage of current through of an element that is provided and maintains it in its movement along the semiconductor that has an ability to allow the passage of electric current, decreases with increasing temperature, and its electrical properties have an intermediate value between metals and insulators.
The acoustic insulator is the one that prevents the sound from being kept in a medium or from leaving it, that is why the insulating materials reflect the energy they receive outside, but they can also retain it.
