You can get the properties of the Physics material assigned to your collider. For example:

 BoxCollider col = GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
 
 float dynamicFriction = col.material.dynamicFriction;
 float staticFriction = col.material.staticFriction;

This works with all colliders with a physics material. @pnguin2

You would need to also find the collider your player is sliding on. You can use OnCollisionEnter for this.
