Generally speaking, we say balloons will last anywhere between 2-5 days. In saying that; theres more science in balloons than you may think!
-Latex balloons with hi-float inside will float about 2-5 days. Constant days of rain and also heat = less float time (about 2 days). Balloons are best kept in air-conditioning for longevity (3-5 days). Balloons will always last better in the cooler months, than the hotter months!
-Air-Filled balloons can last for months! Weather affects the float-time of balloons; and unfortunately thats one thing we simply cant control. Constant Rain and Heat are the hardest battle for us here in Cairns! But keeping them cool, in a non-humid environment and/or in air-conditioning is the absolute best for longevity of balloons!! If you have any questions about float-time, please give us a call!
How Long Do Helium Balloons Last? For latex, smaller 9-12” helium balloons will generally last from 8 to 12 hours (2-4x longer with hi-float), while the larger ones can last up to 2-3 days. Foil balloons typically last from 3 to 5 days, up to a few weeks.
Latex balloons are made from pure latex rubber, a natural substance which is biodegradable. As soon as a latex balloon is exposed to daylight or air, the countdown on the balloons life begins, no matter whether or not the balloon is inflated. This is why it is important to store un-inflated balloons in an air-tight container or bag, which in turn should be kept in a drawer, cupboard or other darkened environment.
“How long do balloons last? has to be one of the top five questions our customers ask. The answer is by no means straightforward and depends on a number of factors.
Air-filled latex balloons do not float, however, they have the advantage of generally having a longer life than helium-filled balloons. Air-filled balloons can last several days, even weeks, in the right conditions.
When filled with helium, an 11 inch latex balloon will generally float for between 18-24 hours, however if your balloon has a metallic or pearl finish, its average flying time reduces to 16-18 hours.
You can extend the flying time of your helium-filled latex balloons quite significantly by treating the un-inflated balloon with a product called ULTRA HI-FLOAT. HI-FLOAT contains a water-soluble plastic, which dries inside the balloon to form a coating which helps to retain the helium molecules.

FAQ
How long will a latex balloon stay inflated with helium?
How do you make latex balloons last longer with helium?
Why did my latex helium balloons sink overnight?
Will latex balloons float with helium?
How long do latex helium balloons last?
Latex helium balloons last between 8 to 12 hours. This is because the natural latex used to make these balloons has tiny pores that release the helium gas over time. This is why filling latex balloons a few hours before the event is advisable, as they are prone to deflating if done earlier.
How long does an epistaxis balloon stay in the nose?
Nasal bleeding can be either from the anterior or posterior part of the nose. When bleeding is from posterior part, it can be severe and life threatening for which tamponade is necessary, either in the form of pack or balloon. Packs and removed should be removed after 48 hours, as early removal can cause repeat bleeding and late removal can cause toxic shock like features. In few people, it can be kept for longer time depending on the physician preference, patient co-morbidities and bleeding severity.
How long do latex balloons stay inflated?
A – Correctly filled latex balloons will stay inflated for around 6-8 hours, whilst you can expect foil balloons to stay inflated for a few days – a common mistake is to fill latex balloons the night before, only to wake up to deflated balloons the next day. Q – How can I make my balloons stay inflated longer?
How long do helium balloons stay inflated?
Helium balloons can stay inflated for anywhere from 8 hours to 5 days. This will depend on the type of balloon that is being used. Latex balloons t filled with helium will typically stay inflated for 8 to 12 hours, whereas foil balloons filled with helium can last 2 to 5 days.
