How long do the balloons last?
The lifespan of a balloon depends on the material it's made of and how it's filled. Here's a general breakdown:
1. Latex Balloons (the common rubber ones):
- Lasts about 12 to 24 hours. They’ll gradually shrink and lose shape.
- Lasts about . Helium is lighter than air, so it escapes through the balloon material faster, causing the balloon to deflate.
- If you want latex balloons to last a little longer with helium, you can use a product called Hi-Float, which coats the inside and helps retain helium for about 2–3 days.
2. Foil (Mylar) Balloons:
- Can last several weeks (2 to 4 weeks) because they’re thicker and less porous.
- Lasts about 3 to 5 days, but will usually float for a few days before gradually losing buoyancy.
