The main properties of insulating materials are as follows: Chemically pure water is an insulating substance.
In nature, it exists in solutions of other substances that have ions in their structure with degrees of relative freedom of movement. Moreover, these solutions are very good electrical conductors.
Strategies for preventing accidents caused by electrostatic charge buildup include increasing surface conductivity by increasing relative humidity. Humidification systems are often installed and integrated into air conditioners for this purpose. Moist air conducts electricity and prevents surface charge. Materials can be classified as follows: Insulating materials or conductors according to whether they easily conduct electricity. This classification depends on how close together the electrons are in the structure, as this is a measure of the energy they need to move (i.e., conduct electricity) within the material. While it is known that the characteristics of insulating materials change every day, there is a "standard catalog" that everyone should be aware of in terms of availability and usefulness for electrical refurbishment projects. To understand its capabilities and how it works, three factors are needed: thermal conductivity, thermal resistance and thermal conductivity.
