Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It is played on a smaller court (similar in size to a badminton court) with a lower net. Players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated plastic ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over the net.

Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Explained
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer made from the monomer ethylene. It is known for its flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance, making it widely used in various applications.
Key Properties of LDPE
- Low Density – Less compact molecular structure, making it softer and more flexible than high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
- High Ductility & Toughness – Resistant to impact and bending without breaking.
- Moisture & Chemical Resistance – Does not absorb water and resists many acids, alcohols, and bases.
- Transparency – Semi-clear, making it useful for packaging and film applications.
