WHAT IS HIFLOAT?

HI-FLOAT  is a water-soluble plastics specially formulated to hold in helium. They dry inside the latex balloon to form a barrier coating which helps hold in helium. When used properly the new ULTRA HI-FLOAT can make balloons float up to 25 times longer.

WHEN TO USE HIFLOAT?

A simple rule of thumb is that you may use HIFLOAT if the coating is on the inside of the balloon.

IS HIFLOAT SAFE?

Yes. HI-FLOAT is non-toxic, non-irritating, non-corrosive, non-flammable and biodegradable. They are very similar to the adhesive found on the back of postage stamps. Wash off the skin with water. If accidentally splashed into the eyes, flush with water for several minutes.
