Latex Balloons FAQs

What is a latex balloon?

Latex balloon is the overall name for classic party balloons made from latex, rubber or polychloroprene. If you want your balloons to float with helium, make sure you purchase helium-quality balloons as they're manufactured differently from standard latex balloons.

How to tie a latex balloon?

1. Once your latex balloon is inflated, pinch the neck of the balloon with one hand to stop the air or helium escaping.
2. With your other hand, gently stretch the balloon neck.
3. Form a loop over and around the two fingers that are pinching the balloon shut, then push the lip (top) of the balloon through the middle of the loop you have formed.
4. Slide the loop forward off your fingers while holding the lip - this will create a knot.
5. Voila! Your balloon has been tied.

Spotlight has balloon inflation essentials like helium tanks, balloon pumps & accessories to make balloon inflating and tying a breeze. Discover handy extras like air pumps and balloon tie tools to save your breath and your fingers!

How long does a latex balloon last?

Latex balloons will remain looking their best for different amounts of time depending on their size - and whether they're inflated with air or helium. Standard-sized (around 28bcm to 30 cm) latex helium balloons will stay inflated for around 7 to 10 hours, so plan inflation time ahead of your party accordingly.

Larger helium balloons can last longer due to a greater volume of helium. Floatation times for helium latex balloons can vary with the weather, storage conditions and quality of the balloons themselves. Get the most out of your helium balloons by opting to treat them with Hi-Float. Hi-Float extends the flotation time by sealing the natural pores in the latex and keeping the helium inside for longer.
