RUBR- Rubber
Color: rgb(204, 74, 67)
Tooltip: "Rubber, a deformable insulator."
Properties:
- Does not melt and is not flamable
- Blocks electricity like insl
- Deforms like goo under pressure, but only slightly, and it returns to its original shape (possibly)
- Bursts into flame at 1500C (possibly)
- Lets neutrons and protons pass through
- Turns a dark grey when exposed to COAL or BCOL; uses tmp to do this (possibly)
Uses:
- Nonflamable insluators

Would be interesting if it was kneadable.
-
What you described is basically FRME but without the deformation (which is not useful)
-
Hmm not exactly frame isn't a electric insulator.
-
FRME doesn't block electricity and isn't as useful as INSL. "RUBR" -- at that -- would prove to already have been more useful than FRME.

Perhaps it could absorb neutrons and electrons. Such as how kneadable erasers pick up charcoal, pastel, graphite, and colored pencil (depends on the brand of kneadable erasers.) This could absorb them and when worn down all you need to do is knead rubber, to the point it's fresh again. Water when in contact with rubber will harden and make rubber less kneadable, therefore stiff as almost a rock. Oil would make rubber less stiff and easier to knead and control. To knead rubber all you need is to heat it up to 100°C. This is what I imagine rubber to be like towards neutrons and electrons. https://youtu.be/8dhfSCA33Sg Wow this video was actually highly useful to this suggestion, I didn't watch it until now. Hopefully @jacob1 sees this and watches the video. Would be a cool insulator.
