How long do mylar balloons float

Temperature is one of the biggest factors affecting how long your balloon will float. They are best kept at an even, comfortable room temperature. If the room is too hot, your balloon may burst. If the room is too cold, your balloon may start to droop.

Tip 2: Keep your balloons at a constant room temperature - avoid heaters, air conditioning units etc. We often give our customers balloon bags to assist with transporting the balloons to their destination. While these are fantastic to protect them from weather and keep control of the balloons in the car, they will reduce the life of the balloon if kept in there too long. Bubble balloons and foil balloons also know as Mylar balloons can last days, weeks or even months!

Balloon Inflators and Tools. The 17 inch and 40 inch foil balloons can be re-inflated 2 or 3 times before the valve becomes unreliable. All 9 inch foil balloons are designed exclusively for air inflation as they cannot hold enough helium to float. Small foil balloons are made with a valve inside the tail at the bottom of the balloon.

The valve has to be opened to inflate or deflate the balloon. We suggest pushing a drinking straw gently up the stem until you feel resistance, that's the valve. Push slightly past the valve to establish an airway. Use your fingers to seal the balloon around the straw. You can then inflate the balloon by blowing into the end of the straw.

If you have a hand operated balloon air pump, you don't need to use a straw. Insert the nozzle into the stem and again seal the balloon around it with your fingers. The pressure from an air pump will automatically open the valve as you inflate it. The helium gas starts to contract around the temperature of degrees and will decrease in volume. Once the balloon is in a warmer place the balloon will coming back to its normal size.

ANo, all our balloons are packed deflated and need to be inflated with an air balloon pump or helium tank. Our latex balloons are designed to be 12 inches approximately 30cm in diameter when filled. Latex balloons that have been properly filled should have a rounded appearance instead of a light bulb or pear shape. Slide this opening onto the nozzle of the helium tank until you have a tight fit.

Make sure you hold the neck of the balloon firmly around the nozzle with one hand and press on the nozzle with your other hand to release the helium into your balloon. As a rough guide, 10 inch balloons will float for around hours whilst 12 inch balloons will float for around However, factors such as temperature, who the balloon is manufactured by and what accessories are used will all have an impact.

This is because the material they are made of mylar for foil balloons and plastic for bubble balloons does not allow the helium to escape as quickly as latex balloons. Float times vary between sizes and shapes of all balloons but the most common foil size is the 18 inch round balloon, which can stay looking fresh for around days.

Foil Supershapes are larger and can be filled with more helium, meaning they will stay inflated for weeks and sometimes even months, albeit a little saggy to touch! Besides Hi-Float, most balloon attachments will reduce float times due to the additional extra weight.
