Delrin is an intersting material. Has a lot of lubricity and is a great fire starter! We use to spec it back in the day as it was easy to tool and had decent mechanical properties for being the interface of sliding parts. What did happen was the misapplication of it. Simplex design decision on the material was part of its demise.
