How long will my balloons float when treated with HI-FLOAT?
When used properly, ULTRA HI-FLOAT increases the floating life of latex balloons by 25 times on average.
SUPER HI-FLOAT increases floating life by 10 times on average.

* Please remember that these are estimates based on typical indoor conditions and following all of the instructions contained in this website. Flying time will be less if outdoors. Flying time varies greatly due to factors such as latex quality, humidity, temperature, altitude, etc. Balloons typically half as long in hot, humid weather. For maximum floating life, hand-tie balloons. |
