Balloons and the Environment

LATEX balloons or Rubber balloons are made from 100% natural, bio-degradable Latex and therefore breakdown and decompose when exposed to the environment. A Latex balloon will decompose in much the same fashion and speed as a leaf from a tree. The balloon industry worldwide requires the latex from 16-million rubber trees that, in total, take up more than 363-million kilograms of CO2 gases annually from the earth�s atmosphere.

Rubber trees, from which the latex for balloons is harvested, are one of the main forms of vegetation in tropical rain forests, which in recent years have become crucial to maintaining the earth's fragile ecological balance. Harvesting latex can be more profitable to poor third world nations than raising cattle on the deforested land.

Helium and Float Times

Helium is a gas lighter than air, however due to its small molecular structure the gas escapes from both Latex and Foil balloons which is why in time they deflate and become less buoyant.

45cm Foil Balloons will float 10 - 14 days. Our foil balloons are fitted with a reusable valve for refilling.
30cm Latex Balloons will Float 16 - 20 hours. *depending on temperature and atmospheric conditions.
38cm Latex Balloons will Float 26 - 30 hours. *depending on temperature and atmospheric conditions.

Hi-Float

HI-FLOAT is a non-toxic water soluble solution that can be used to coat Latex balloons and extend their flying time by weeks.

Safety Precautions
1. Do not inhale Helium. Helium displaces air in your lungs and will cause suffocation from lack of oxygen.
2. Dispose of broken rubber balloons as children can choke on them.
3. Foil balloons can conduct electricity, do not remove their weights
