Estimated float times are dependent on environment. Hot places and direct sunlight can significantly reduce the lifespan of helium-filled balloons.
Before we inflate latex balloons, we can add a life-extending ointment inside it. Once inflated, this ointment acts as a physical barrier between the helium and latex, preventing the helium escaping as quickly. This ointment is only useful for latex balloons.
Consider adding life-extending ointment to increase float time by up to 100%
