Insulating layer
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Time Lords identified a "superior" white insulating layer as a distinguishing feature of the casings of the Necros Daleks, which were created by Davros in opposition to the Supreme Dalek's grey Daleks as a prototype for what would become the Imperial Daleks.
