teflon coating
Pan's slick layer
Teflon coating is a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) applied to surfaces to make them nonstick and resistant to heat and chemicals.
Most familiar on cookware: The teflon coating keeps eggs from sticking to the pan.
Figuratively, someone with a teflon coating deflects criticism or scandal without lasting damage—nothing sticks to them.
