insulation that traps heat in its fibers


Explanation:
There are many heat-trapping materials that belong to this category of insulation.

Ref:
Bulk insulation works by trapping pockets of still air between its fibres, retarding the transfer of heat. ... Through retarding the transfer of heat, insulation can make a significant impact on the level of comfort in your home all year round by reducing the amount of warmth escaping during winter and keeping out the heat during summer. Examples of Bulk insulation products that are commonly used include Glasswool, Polyester, Rockwool, Wool blend, loose fill insulation and polystyrene....

  -> Thank you Jack!
agree  juvera: Insulation capacity of these materials increases directly with their thickness.(more bulk, more volume; more insulation)Here it is probably applied as a thick paste to make a structure, like a case for an object to be insulated, hence the need for drying
