Slippery Surfaces is a hands-on exhibit designed to illustrate one of the significant properties of the plastic known as PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene). This material has good resistance to most chemicals, but also has a very low coefficient of friction.

The exhibit consists of a wooden frame in which pivots a metal-framed tray. This tray contains five rubber-coated wooden blocks which are free to slide from side to side in tracks that are made from various commonly available materials: (1) PVC (PolyVinylChloride) flooring, (2) non-slip PVC flooring, (3) Stainless steel, (4) Wood and (5) PTFE.
