The main purpose of insulation is to limit the transfer of energy between the inside and outside of a system. A thermal insulator is a poor conductor of heat and has a low thermal conductivity. Insulation is used in buildings and in manufacturing processes to prevent heat loss or heat gain.

The utilization of the thermal insulation material can save energy on one hand and meet the temperature requirement of equipment/building on the other hand. Thus insulation material is of great importance for many
