(1) 100% BIODEGRADABLE LATEX BALLOONS

It is important to know the source of products we consume and use everyday. Here at Give Fun, we're pleased to announce that our Latex Balloons are from the two industry leader of balloons -- Qualatex (a United States company) and Sempertex (a Columbia company). Not only are they aesthetically great looking, they are also 100% biodegradable.

These Biodegradable balloons are manufactured from the sap of the Rubber Tree, better known as Latex. The rubber sap is then transformed into balloons, through different processes but maintaining its natural condition. No filler materials, plasticizers or other agents are used to reduce costs.

Why the color of the latex balloons change?

Do note that Latex balloons are biodegradable and photodegradable. Hence, when you see a clear balloon start to "fog/cloudy" under the sun, you are seeing it beginning to oxidize and photodegrade. The rate of degradation is highly variable as it's influenced by many variables such as temperature, the amount of light, the presence of latex consuming microbes, etc.

(2) HOW ABOUT FOIL BALLOONS?

Foil Balloons are not Biodegradable, but the good news is you can actually reuse and re-purpose them! By reusing them, you can save on the cost of your party/event and also go “ Green” at the same time!

Here is a video on how you can deflate the foil balloons and reuse the for you next occasion!

Do you know that Foil balloons reacts to temperature?

As Foil balloons have a fixed volume, meaning the material has very little or no stretch.Hence cold air does cause helium-filled balloons to deflate, but it does make helium molecules lose energy and move closer together. This decreases the volume inside the balloon and makes the shell of the balloon shrink and sink to the ground overtime.

Similarly, hot environment or heat will cause the foil balloons to expand further. This is because helium molecules get bigger when they heat up, so if your balloons keep getting hotter, they will eventually pop. PS: Do not put your Foil Balloons in the boot or leave them in a hot car for a long time under the hot sun!

At room temperature, helium molecules move about freely and are spread far apart, which is why helium balloons float in the air at room temperature.

(3) HOW LONG CAN THE BALLOONS STAY UP IN THE AIR?

*The various floating time you need to know when you purchase a balloon*

While some balloons may have longer floating time, actual floating time vary depending on temperature, atmospheric and other external conditions. All balloons will be in its perfect condition on the first day.
