Helium Tanks, Balloon Pumps & Accessories FAQs

Are helium balloon tanks dangerous?

Helium tanks, as long as they are handled with common sense, are not dangerous. Helium is not a flammable gas and won't combust, and it is also non-toxic. That doesn't mean you should breathe it in however! While it may be funny to alter your voice using helium, too much can lead to asphyxiation, nausea and a bunch of other unpleasant conditions - so don't do it!

Helium tanks are safe to transport in your car, but make sure the tank is stable and is in no danger of being damaged. Helium, if released into the confines of a car, can be dangerous, so you may like to crack a window while transporting any just to be safe. Make sure to store the tank somewhere safe where it won't come into contact with any corrosive materials or start to rust, or where it may be tripped over.

What is Hi-Float?

Hi-Float is a treatment applied to the inside of latex balloons to increase the floatation time of helium-filled balloons. It helps to seal up the natural pores in the latex balloon and prevent the helium from escaping. If you're inflating your own balloons with a helium tank, using Hi-Float allows you to prepare your helium balloons ahead of time - and make the party last longer!

How to use a balloon air pump

If you're looking to inflate balloons yourself, then a balloon pump is the way to go! Air-filled balloons are a great alternative to balloons inflated with helium if you don't need them to float. Simply place the nozzle inside the neck or valve of the balloon, and gently pump in air until the balloon is filled. To save your fingers as well as your breath, try using a balloon tie tool to take the hassle out of filling and tying balloons at home.
