Heat-insulating
Definition
Thermally insulating, preventing the transmission, propagation, or penetration of heat; a material or protective coating with extremely low thermal conductivity, utilized for insulating buildings, industrial pipes, or internal combustion engine components. In modern engineering, anti-caloric properties guarantee energy efficiency and protection against the overheating of mechanical structures.
