Balloon Oomf gel or Hi-Float gel, is a substance used inside latex balloons to extend their float time. It creates a barrier on the interior surface of the balloon, slowing helium escape and keeping them floating longer than untreated balloons.
Our latex balloons made from natural rubber latex are biodegradable. Foil or Mylar balloons, made from metallic materials, are not biodegradable.
The average car can comfortably fit around 30 inflated 12-inch latex balloons, ideally in the back seat. To keep your balloons looking their best, avoid direct sunlight and don’t leave them in a hot vehicle. Heat can cause foil balloons to expand and burst, or helium balloons to deflate and lose lift.
Both latex and foil balloons can be refilled or reused if they are in good condition and undamaged. However, it's essential to note that repeated inflation and deflation can weaken the material, affecting the balloon's appearance and ability to hold helium or air.
