## Overview

This 16 oz bottle with pump treats up to 100 balloons, creating a thin, durable coating inside each balloon to reduce helium loss.

## Description

What is ULTRA HI-FLOAT? It’s a patented liquid solution that dries inside latex helium-filled balloons to form a coating that helps hold in the helium. A single squirt inside the balloon keeps it floating longer – up to 25 times longer! Safe, nontoxic and biodegradable, HI-FLOAT is trusted by professional party planners and do-it-yourselfers alike. Best of all, HI-FLOAT is convenient and easy to use. In fact, you can inflate your balloons a day before the party so that you can concentrate on other preparations. No more last-minute decorating!

Review: Wish I knew about this stuff years ago... - In preparation for my daughter's upcoming 5th birthday, I decided that I would test out this Ultra-Hifloat at our Super Bowl party. I followed the directions as included in the box, with two minor exceptions. First, the amount I put into the latex balloon was a little less than the guide recommends. In this case I uses 3/4 depression to fill an 11" balloon versus the recommended 1 full depression. And two, I did make sure to get a little into the neck of the balloon too (the instructions advise you not too). This last point did make it a little difficult to tie the balloon (slippery), but we managed just fine. You do have to inflate the balloons quite well to ensure adequate rise. I did have 1 that I under filled and the kids played with it all day, batting it around the house. That was until the Hifloat dried on the inside and the balloon started to rise! Now I would normally awake to a balloon graveyard the following morning (maybe even that night). The site of shriveled, pathetic balloons and wasted helium used to irritate me. Today I come down, and they are all still flying high, taught with helium, and show zero signs of weakening yet. This Ultra-Hifloat states it will make helium filled balloons float up to 25 times longer...I don't know if I will get 25 times longer, but so far we are on the right track. Amazing product. Will definitely use for my daughter's birthday coming up in a few months. EDIT: 2/12/12 Update - Simply Amazing. Exactly 1 week later, of 11 standard latex balloons inflated, 10 of them are still flying like the day were inflated. Midweek, the one that isn't, literally deflated before my eyes. I can't figure that one out. But the rest are still up and the kids are enjoying dragging them around the house. I will continue to update this review to give others an idea on how well this product continues to work. EDIT: 2/19/12 Update - Seriously! This stuff is now outlasting the Mylar balloons. 10 latex balloons still full and show no signs of losing helium. The 2 Mylars on the other hand are now about 1/2 full. Ultra Hi-Float is crazy good stuff! EDIT: 2/26/12 Update - OK. Whomever said this stuff doesn't work, doesn't know how to properly use it. While the 2 Mylar balloons dropped into the trash this week, I am staring at 10 full-filled latex helium balloons that are now starting to get on our nerves. They simply refuse to die. They've been up so long even the kids are bored with them. My wife asked if she could pop them so we could get rid of them. When has that ever happened with your latex balloons? I said no. I'll keep you posted. 3 weeks in and going strong. EDIT: 3/4/12 Update - Week 4 complete. The Hi-Float has started to crack and break off in some of the balloons leading to some rattling in them. As a result of the cracking, you can see that the lift to the balloons is starting to weaken and in fact 2 of the latex balloons are only flying at half height right now. I assume more will follow quickly this week. Still 8 balloons out of 11 flying at full height 4 weeks is pretty darn amazing. A little math - I've never had a untreated 9-11" latex balloon stay afloat for more than 12 hours at any one time, but it is of the general consensus that a traditional 11" latex balloon is estimated to remain afloat with helium for 18 to 24 hours. Ultra Hi-Float's guarantee of 25 times that time would equate to a staggering 18.75 - 24 days of rise. And here we are at 28 days, with roughly three quarters of my balloons still floating high! All I can say is it does work, and it does work well. EDIT: 3/11/12 Update - I can't believe I am still updating this review. I counted the balloons today that are still at full height and there are 7. We lost the 2 that were not quite as full last week plus 1 more. The balloons have been up so long at this point, I barely notice them anymore. Week five complete with an amazing 35 days of rise. EDIT: 3/18/12 Update - Well we are officially down to 3 balloons. But hey that's 3 latex balloons still floating 6 weeks after first inflation! I will say that the quality of the latex balloon must play a large part too, because we did our daughter's birthday this weekend and within the week we've already had 3 to 4 fall and I did the exact same protocol as I did in the original post. At this point though I'm so sick of balloons. I'm ready to pop them all just so I can stop editing this post. EDIT: 3/25/12 Update - Down to 2 balloons at 7 weeks. We've actually removed the remaining to to the basement since they seem so out of place. I mean they are from a Super Bowl Party. I think one of them is starting to falter so hopefully in one to 2 weeks, this review will be over. I never expected it to go this long. Late Additional Updates: EDIT: 4/1/12 Update - Down to 1 at 8 weeks. EDIT: Between 4/8 (9 weeks) and 4/15 (10 weeks) it seems the the last holdout fell. Today is 4/21 and I don't recall seeing floating earlier this week. I found it 3/4 to full will helium, resting on the basement floor. It was banished to the basement because we just couldn't stand to look at them anymore. Too funny. Who would have ever thought? So in closing 75% of the balloon made it 28 days. And a few held on for 8-10 weeks. Overall a truly remarkable product. But buyers beware. The effect generated by the Hi-Float is STRONGLY correlated to the quality of the balloons that you use. It can only help poorly made balloons so much. But it can drive you batty with good balloons as they never seem to want to die!
Review: Over TWO months on half pumps, just read these directions - The directions say to use more to get longer results, but a half pump, if not less, is more than enough. Just make sure you massage the gel inside the entire balloon including in the nozzle you tie off. The trick is that it needs to create an entire new layer inside the balloon that's completely sealed. This one won't allow helium atoms to pass right through it. If you don't use any in the nozzle, it won't be completely sealed will it? Yes it's messy on your fingers when you're tying it off, but this makes a big difference. This gel is so effective it even repaired a torn mylar balloon and it lasted over 2 weeks. I placed a drop inside the tear, massaged it over the area, and used a piece of tape over it. The picture with R2-D2 was 12 days after I filled them, along with a close up of the repair to the mylar balloon. The third picture is of a entire month afterwards, having only lost R2-D2 and one of the blue balloons at around 3 weeks old. The balloons are physically still holding strong, although I'm not sure how much longer they'll be tolerated hanging out in the kitchen. Edit: at 8 weeks 2 more balloons came down from the ceiling. At 9 weeks four more came down, one of which is currently wandering around the house riding air flow. God only knows how long they could last if the kids weren't playing with them. Edit: the last balloon finally came down at 13 and a half weeks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many ballons can I make with one 16 ounce ultra float container?**
A: With our Ultra HiFloat your latex balloons will stay inflated up to 25 times longer when you add the liquid to your balloons before filling with helium. The 16 ounce container includes a pump dispenser and covers about 100 eleven inch balloons.

**Q: Can it be used to fill "air swimmer flying shark"? How many time can air swimmer be filled?**
A: This is a treatment for the inside of a balloon not helium or an alternative.  The air swimmer balloons are foil and you fill them with helium.  WITHOUT any treatment like the Hi-Float listed here, the balloon will stay inflated for over a month (our is still somewhat inflated 4 months later)...when it deflates after a LONG time, just refill with helium.  No need for this product.

**Q: How far can balloon fly up?**
A: How Far or How Long ? Regular balloons will stay up for about 9 to 14 hours without any solution insert. Balloon floating time generally all depends on the size of balloons and the quality of helium used.

**Q: If I use an electric pump and this solution, will my balloons float?**
A: They won't. Adding Hi-Float to the balloons will extend floating time but you will always need Helium gas in order for them to float.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A no-brainer
*by J***E on April 4, 2015*

Seriously, do not even THINK about inflating latex balloons with helium without a good squirt of this stuff inside first. I was wary of investing in it for our party (after all of our other expenses) because there were mixed reviews. But, I now know that any bad reviews are likely because a) someone didn't understand how to use the product, or b) the balloons being used were already defective themselves. We blew these balloons up 7 days ago and they are still flying high and have only lost maybe 5% of their original helium. Amazing! What you need to keep in mind is that this stuff will not work if you skimp and don't use enough, or if you fail to fully massage it into the entire balloon (avoiding the neck, of course). Read the instructions that come with it and you'll do just fine. Also, don't expect it to work as well for outdoor balloons - you'll get longer life, for sure, but not the "days and weeks" that you'd get from keeping the balloons in a climate controlled environment. The instructions inform you about this as well. So I really can't understand why there are mixed or bad reviews for Hi-Float, because when used in a manner consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations, it is an amazing product! My latex balloons are fuller and look much nicer than the mylars, 1 week later, if you can believe that. *NOTE: Prior to using it for the party, we did a little experiment and filled an 11" latex balloon without Hi-Float, same type of balloon with 1/2 squirt of Hi-Float, and same type of balloon with full squirt of Hi-Float. The control balloon was already sagging after 8-10 hours and was on the floor after 24 hours. The 1/2 squirt balloon was better, but lost more helium than the full squirt balloon. So now I follow the directions and use a full squirt for 11" latex balloons.
