it’s plastic that stops your eggs
sticking in the morning yes that’s right
Teflon is a plastic Teflon is the
world’s slipperiest material it’s
incredibly heat resistant relatively
tough and although it was originally
used to make machine parts for industry
and the US military today is used for
all sorts of things on car wiper blades
to stop the squeaks on sofas and carpets
to protect against spills in engines to
help with lubrication unliked bulbs to
stop them exploding on glasses for
protection against scratches and you can
even get tip from nail polish but I
think they’re missing a trick
Teflon the world’s slipperiest material
has got to be great for sledging so
we’re gonna put our theory to the test
and race this sledge we’re still runners
against this run with Teflon ones so the
boys have come to an indoor ski slope in
Milton Keynes which has real snow now
the rules are pretty simple all they
have to do is get to the bottom as fast
as possible and it should be a pretty
fair test as Richard and Johnny weigh
about the same and the only difference
in this wedges is that one has steel
runners and the other has Teflon first
up it’s Richard on the steel runners hey
Jonny my snow
Richard does a very credible if slightly
out of control ten seconds and now it’s
my go the super Teflon runners so
hopefully I’ll be a bit quicker Teflon
works because it’s carbon atoms are
coated with an impenetrable shields of
super slippery fluorine atoms but will
they make Johnny sledge run faster fine
point – hey yours Ted I rest my case you
on a telethon
so Teflon is the clear winner but
Richards still not convinced he wants a
rematch and this time it’s head to head
now Richard and Johnny take their
sledging very seriously but when Johnny
cuts up Richard forcing him to run wide
and crash he’s none too happy
steady on that remember it’s the science
we’re interested in
it’s much faster than steel so Johnny
wins on both occasions and proves that
the very same Teflon that’s on your
frying pan really is the slipperiest
plastic around
