Helium is an inert, non-toxic gas which can be safely used either indoors or outdoors. We can pre-fit your balloons with self-sealing balloon valves to save you time and money. The precision moulded valve sits snugly into the neck of the balloon, each one has a metre of ribbon coiled around the stem. For use with helium filled balloons. Electric air inflaters for easy inflation of large quantities of balloons. Also available is a range of hand pumps for smaller quantities. Rolls of balloon ribbon are available to match or compliment most colour themes Various balloon weights are also available again in many colours and different sizes for individual balloons or bunches. Latex is a 100 per cent natural substance that breaks down both in sunlight and water and should never be confused with plastic. The degradation process begins almost immediately after a balloon is manufactured. Oxidation, the "frosting" that makes latex balloons look as if they are losing their colour, is one of the first signs of the process. Exposure to sunlight quickens the process, but natural microorganisms attack natural rubber, even in the dark. Research shows that under similar environmental conditions, latex balloons will biodegrade at about the same rate as a leaf from an oak tree. The actual total degradation time will vary depending on the precise conditions. For furtehr information, please visit our website, or call us on 01733 237691.
