BALLOONS FLOAT TIMES & PERFORMABILITY

Covered enclosure in a balloon bag, Cold air, hot air, high humidity, changing barometric pressure, high altitudes, and moving air from fans and vents will reduce balloon float times. The float times posted on our site are the maximum to be expected. Changing conditions mean that on some occasions balloons may float for only one day, and on other occasions the same balloons may float for many days. We guarantee that your balloons will be delivered in perfect condition, but float times may vary depending on all the above listed weather conditions.

FLOAT TIMES FOR LATEX BALLOONS WITHOUT HI-FLOAT® TREATMENT

16-inch latex balloons will float indoors for 30 hours.

11-inch latex balloons will float indoors for 16 hours.

Float times may be reduced by as much as 60% at elevations above 2,500 feet.

FLOAT TIMES FOR MYLAR BALLOONS

In optimum environments, mylar (foil) balloons will remain full and taught for 3 days. Air-conditioned air may cause these balloons to shrivel, but they will return to a normal state when exposed to warmer air.

HI-FLOAT™ TREATMENT

Hi-Float is a non-toxic sealant used inside of the balloon. It is effective only when used indoors, out of direct sunlight, and when not exposed to breezes created by fans, open windows, or air-conditioning. In ideal conditions Hi-Float will extend float times as follows:

11-inch latex: 2 Days

16-inch latex: 3 Days

Float time may be reduced significantly in unusually warm, unusually cool, or very humid environments, and at elevations above 2,500 feet.
