Float times by balloon type & everything you need to know about Hi-Float

ℹ️ To achieve these float times balloons must be kept indoors, in a climate controlled location, with the heater or air-conditioner running.
Please remember that these are estimates based on typical indoor conditions, and following all instructions. Float times will be shorter outdoors.
Float times vary greatly based on factors such as latex quality, humidity, temperature, altitude, etc. Balloons typically float for half as long in hot, humid weather.
What Is Hi-Float?
HI-FLOAT balloon treatment is a solution of a plastic material dissolved in water. It forms a coating inside latex balloons that greatly reduces helium or air loss.
🎈 Helium-filled latex balloons float 25× longer on average with ULTRA HI-FLOAT.
💨 Air-filled latex balloons maintain full size for over one month with ULTRA HI-FLOAT.
