When Do Helium Balloons Deflate?

Standard size latex filled helium balloons stay afloat for approx 8 - 12 hours, whereas helium filled balloons float for 2-5 days. If you want your latex balloons to float longer there is a useful product that you can buy Helium Hi-Float Treatment Kit which helps the balloons float up to 25 times longer!

How long does it take for a helium balloon to deflate?

For latex, a smaller 9-12” helium balloons will generally last from 8 to 12 hours (2-4x longer with hi-float), while the larger ones can last up to 2-3 days. Foil balloons typically last from 3 to 5 days, up to a few weeks.

How do you keep helium balloons from deflating?

When you want the look of latex balloons but they absolutely have to last for more than a day, the best way to keep helium balloons inflated is to use a product called HI-FLOAT. It's a liquid material that coats the inside of an empty latex balloon before it's filled, keeping helium from escaping.
