Latex Balloons - General Information

Qualatex® latex balloons and ProPak® latex balloons are made of all natural latex. They are photo degradable and biodegradable. Latex is a natural product of rubber tree sap. It degrades when exposed to the elements of nature.

How much helium do I need?

Use this chart to estimate helium needs for latex balloons. Volume and lift ability are average estimates. Float times for latex balloons vary widely with temperature and atmospheric conditions. Larger balloons will float for longer periods of time and float times can be increased by using Hi-Float™.
