Insulation refers to a process wherein a non-conducting material is used to isolate something from its surroundings, and sustain its normal state of being. It can be used for different purposes like sound, heat, and electricity insulation. However, the insulation market is heavily influenced by the high-growth building-insulation market. This market can be classified into residential, non-residential, and industrial insulation. Insulators are useful for controlling the energy efficiency of the house, or in an industrial setting and also in reducing the carbon footprint. Insulators can be classified broadly into two categories, Mineral fibers, and Plastic foams among which the later account for the majority of sales.
