Balloon Inflation and Accessories

Balloons can be inflated with a hand pump, an electric inflator or helium. The right option depends on the type of balloon, how it will be used and the desired result.

Helium or Air?

If you want balloons to float, they need to be filled with helium. Helium is an inert, non-flammable gas widely used for inflating latex and foil balloons. Helium-filled balloons are suitable for birthdays, weddings, corporate events and all kinds of party decorations.

For convenient and safe use of large helium cylinders, a suitable regulator is required. A regulator controls the gas flow and makes balloon inflation easier. The cylinder size should be selected according to the size and number of balloons you need to inflate.

If the balloons do not need to float, inflating them with air is a more economical solution. A hand pump is convenient for smaller quantities, while an electric balloon inflator makes filling larger quantities of balloons much faster and easier.

Ribbons, Sticks and Other Balloon Accessories

The best way to secure a balloon depends on how it is inflated and how it will be used. Helium-filled balloons are usually attached to a ribbon and, when necessary, secured with a balloon weight. Air-filled balloons can be attached to sticks and holders or used to create garlands, arrangements and other decorations.

Balloon Treatment Products

Special treatment products can be used to extend the float time of helium-filled latex balloons. Other products are designed for treating the outside surface of latex balloons to help maintain their attractive and shiny appearance.
