Aluminum foil is a good insulator because it prevents the radiation of heat by reflecting it back at the source. ... Even though the surface is oxidized aluminum, the foil will conduct electricity. As for thermal conduction, as anyone who has put aluminum foil on a baking tray knows, it conducts heat very well.
