HI-FLOAT ®

HOW TO USE HI-FLOAT ®

ULTRA HI-FLOAT ® is a non-toxic sealant that can be used inside helium-filled latex balloons to increase float time. It multiplies float time by 25 times the norm and dries crystal clear to form a barrier that retains the helium inside the balloon. EXTENDED FLOAT TIME Helium retention solution increases the float-time of latex balloons

Step 1: Place pump in bottle

Step 2: Prime pump

* Please remember that these are estimates based on typical indoor conditions and following all HI-FLOAT ® instructions. Float time will be less if outdoors. Float time varies greatly due to factors such as latex quality, humidity, temperature, altitude, etc. Balloons typically last half as long in hot, humid weather. For maximum float time, hand-tie balloons. Float time estimates for ULTRA HI-FLOAT ® are from the manufacturer.

Step 6: Rotate nozzle downward and inflate

HI-FLOAT MASTERY Tips from industry experts

Decrease the amount of HI-FLOAT ® when treating pearl or metallic latex balloons. These balloons are heavier due to their composition and will float better if less HI-FLOAT ® is used.
