Many factors will affect the inflated time of balloons, including materials, sizes, gases inflated, and the environmental temperature it was displayed:
- Foil balloons last longer than latex balloons.
- Air filled balloons last longer than those filled with helium.
- Latex balloons that treated with Hi-Float can hold helium longer.
- Balloons displayed indoor last longer than those outdoor.
- Balloons last longer in colder temperature than hotter temperature.
- The larger the balloon size, the longer the helium can be hold.
Here are several examples:
1. Latex balloons that filled with air can last 1-2 weeks or longer indoors, when displayed outdoors can also remain inflated in 1-3 days.
2. If filled with helium, the larger the balloon size is, the longer it will stay inflated. A 24-inch latex balloon can remain inflated for 2-3 days indoor and 1-2 days outdoor, while a 9-inch latex balloon can only last 6-8 hours indoor and 3-5 hours outdoor.
3. Foil balloons filled with air can last weeks to months indoor and only 3-7 days outdoor. But if filled with helium, it can last 3-10 days indoor but 1-4 days outdoor.
