Asbestos has high thermal conductivity due to its structure with closely packed fibers. This property makes it a good insulator against heat transfer, which is why asbestos was commonly used in the past for insulation in buildings and industrial applications. However, asbestos is now recognized as a health hazard and its use is highly regulated or banned in many countries due to its links to serious respiratory diseases.
