The opposite of a conductor (copper metal) is a insulator (plastic and rubber).
Materials such as copper metal that conduct electricity (allow it to flow freely) are called conductors. Materials that don't allow electricity to pass through them so readily, such as rubber and plastic, are called insulators.
