Floating Times of Latex Balloons?

Latex Balloons float because of the law of buoyancy.  The helium latex balloons are floating in a pool of air.  As long as the helium plus the actual weight of the latex balloon is lighter than the air, the balloon will continue to float.  Since helium escapes fairly quickly through the membrane of the latex balloon eventually in as little 8-12 hours the balloon will no longer float and will fall to the ground. 

Learn the science behind float times of Latex Balloons.

Average Float Times for Quality Manufactured Latex Balloons

12" Latex Balloons 12 to 24 hours
14" Latex Balloons 26 to 40 hours
17" Latex Balloons 30-40 hours
36" Balloons 3 to 5 days

Flying times are only estimates.  Properly inflated latex balloons used indoors under ideal temperature, humidity and altitude should float to the maximum times.  However, latex balloons used outdoors will float less time and latex balloons used in high heat and humidity will likely float half the time.

You can extend the float time of latex balloons by using a product called hi-float.
