I'm done with this poster. Either he's a troll, just here to waste our time, or he doesn't understand enough English for us to help him.
 
I think he's trying to say that the (wall) insulation is designed to easily allow you to run your wiring.

He may also be trying to say the (wall) insulation won't strip off the protective cable insulation when you pull your cables through it.

Being from building construction line, I find the above rather strange. Generally, services cables through walls are not run exposed but in conduits. So the cables would not be in contact with the insulation materials anyway. Even if they are, wall insulation is made from soft and light materials eg. fibreglass/rockwool/polyurethane foam, which are not abrasive.
I still have no idea what OP is trying to say.
 
That may be true in industrial construction, but in general housing construction, wiring typically isn't run in conduit. It is just stapled to the framing, or holes are drilled in the framing.

That's why electricians and plumbers generally run their wiring and pipes before the insulation is installed. However, during remodeling, you sometimes have to run wiring through existing insulation.
