No electrical conductivity

The conductivity of plastic is 100 trillion times less than copper. This makes plastic ideal as an insulator of:
  • Electrical cables
  • Sockets
  • Switch housings
  • Electrical devices
  • Conducting rails

Think (only!) of the difference between holding a live copper wire with your bare fingers, and holding it by a piece of plastic.
