Balloon Information
When filled with helium, an 11-inch latex balloon will generally float for:
- Without Hi-Float: 12â18 hours
- With Hi-Float: up to 3 days
If your balloon has a metallic or pearl finish, its average float time reduces slightly to around 16â18 hours without Hi-Float.
Hi-Float is a liquid protective coating inserted into the balloon before inflation. It spreads around the inside to create a barrier that slows helium from escaping through the latex.
- â Water-soluble and non-toxic
- â Can extend float time from hours to days
- â Safe for indoor and outdoor use
Air-filled latex balloons do not float, but they have a much longer lifespan than helium-filled ones. In the right conditions, air-filled balloons can last several days to several weeks.
They're a great option for garlands, arches, columns, and table centrepieces where floating isn't required.
No â helium is not flammable and is very safe to use around candles and open flames.
However, please note that inhaling helium repeatedly is dangerous. Helium is an asphyxiant â it can displace oxygen in the lungs. A single small puff for a funny voice effect is generally not harmful, but repeated inhalation can cause suffocation.
Our range includes two primary finishes:
- Pearl: Solid, translucent colours with a sheen similar to a pearl. Elegant and sophisticated.
- Standard: Opaque finish available in a wide range of bright, vivid colours.
We also stock chrome/metallic, confetti, and personalised printed latex balloons.
There are a few fun and responsible options:
- đ Let the kids pop them â always a hit!
