Something that reduces the amount of heat that travels through it

Typically referring either to thermal insulation, or the material used to provide this. Thermal insulation protects an object or person from temperatures that are very different (e.g. very cold or very hot, most often the former). It does this by reducing the amount of energy (that is, heat) that flows from the high-temperature area to the low-temp [..]
