2. Electrical tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_tape

   Electrical tape (or insulating tape) is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other materials that conduct electricity. It can be made of many plastics but PVC (polyvinyl chloride, "vinyl") is the most popular, as it stretches well and gives effective and long-lasting insulation.

3. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Insulation is a barrier material to resist/reduce substance (water, vapor, etc. ) /energy (sound, heat, electric, etc.) to transfer from one side to another. Heat/ Thermal Insulation is a barrier material to resist / block / reflect the heat energy (either one or more of the Conduction, Convection or Radiation) to transfer from one side to another.

4. Multi-layer insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-layer_insulation

   Multi-layer insulation (MLI) is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics. Also referred to as superinsulation, [ 1 ] MLI is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design , primarily intended to reduce heat loss by thermal radiation .

5. Multifoil arch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifoil_arch

   Multifoil arch in the Aljafería, Zaragoza, Spain. A multifoil arch (or polyfoil arch), also known as a cusped arch, [1] [2] polylobed arch, [3] [4] or scalloped arch, [5] is an arch characterized by multiple circular arcs or leaf shapes (called foils, lobes, or cusps) that are cut into its interior profile or intrados.

6. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

   Pipe insulation made from rigid Phenolic, PIR, or PUR foam insulation is common in some countries. Rigid-foam insulation has minimal acoustic performance but can exhibit low thermal-conductivity values of 0.021 W/(m·K) or lower, allowing energy-saving legislation to be met whilst using reduced insulation thicknesses. [8]

7. Foil (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foil_(architecture)

   Typically, the number of cusps can be three , four , five (cinquefoil [1]), or a larger number (multifoil). [2] The word comes from Latin folium which meaning “leaf.” [ 3 ] Foil motifs may be used as part of the heads and tracery of window lights , complete windows themselves, the underside of arches, in heraldry , within panelling, and as ...
