Poly-ond vs Armoloy: Cautious, Useful Friction Advice

Summary for poly-ond vs armoloy Discussion

Poly-ond vs. Armoloy is discussed in the context of reducing friction and improving lubricity when feeding nickel plated CRS parts. Eugene Jackson asks which coating is better for the application. The only answer in the thread comes from an unnamed responder who says they are unfamiliar with Poly-ond and asks what it is, joking that it might be a plastic such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Based on that uncertainty, the responder suggests that any polyolefin might be acceptable, but says their preference would lean toward ordinary polyethylene rather than polypropylene. No direct comparison with Armoloy is provided, so the thread does not establish a definitive winner; it mainly reflects uncertainty and a tentative preference for PE if a plastic-based low-friction surface is being considered.
