Helium Gas Supplier for Balloon Industry

How do you choose which balloons to buy for your event? Both latex and foil balloons can be filled with either helium or air and both come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.   Here are a few things to consider when deciding whether to go with helium-filled or air-filled balloons. Float Time Helium is less dense than air so helium-filled balloons typically rise higher than air-filled balloons and float effortlessly.   That makes helium a good choice if you want dramatic party decorations like a bunch of balloons floating over each table. Float time for helium-filled latex balloons is about 8-10 hours (longer if treated with Hi-Float).   Float time for helium-filled foil or Mylar balloons is usually about three to four days.   Some balloon brands can stay inflated for up to three weeks.   Air-filled balloons don’t really float but they look great taped to the ceiling with ribbons and are excellent for building balloon arches. Cost Helium-filled balloons can be more exp

Any type of balloon can be filled with  helium . Balloons vary by material, shape, size and purpose — from small decorative balloons and toys to large parade balloons, weather balloons or airships.  As long as the balloon is made of non-porous material it will hold helium.  Whether to use helium depends on what you want to do with the balloon. If you are using small balloons to twist into animal shapes, you probably want to use air.  If you want the balloon to float, then you should use helium.  Weather balloons and airships need to float. The most common balloons that are filled with helium are latex and foil/Mylar party balloons. You want party balloons to float. To float, the volume of the inflated balloon must be large enough relative to its weight to hold enough helium to lift it. Size and shape determine whether the balloon will float and for how long. Round latex balloons inflated to 9 inches or larger will float with helium.  Float time for latex balloons is about 8-10 h
