Qualatex
latex balloons are Made in the USA and Canada
from 100% natural latex.
|
|
|
Qualatex
brand latex balloons are biodegradable, and
decompose as fast as an oak leaf in your backyard!
|
|
|
They float much longer
than other off-brand balloons sold on the market today.
Compare Qualatex balloons with Crayola crayons
(Quality), now compare cheap crayons with Crayola. Get the idea?
|
|
|
Qualatex colors are more vibrant than any other brand and
fewer pop during inflation!
A thicker balloon will obviously float much longer and look better
than cheap, thin balloons that are sold at most party stores and in
some cases other balloon stores.

Qualatex does not manufacture a "12 inch" latex balloon.
Qualatex does however manufacture an "11 inch" latex
balloon!
If a company promotes 12" balloons
as "standard size", this indicates they are selling a cheaper, thinner
balloon and not Qualatex!
We only use Qualatex latex balloons! "The Very Best
Balloons"

Latex
balloons come from rubber trees. Latex is collected by cutting the
tree’s bark, then catching the latex in a cup. Latex harvesting
doesn’t hurt the tree!
|
|
|
Latex
balloons are Earth-friendly! Rubber trees grow in rain forests. Latex
harvesting discourages deforestation because latex-producing trees are
left intact. A tree can produce latex for up to 40 years!

If the sound of a balloon popping
startles you, you’re not alone. A bursting balloon actually creates a
small sonic boom! Once a hole is made in an inflated balloon, the
quick release of the balloon’s energy, or air, causes the hole to grow
at almost the speed of sound in rubber. Since this speed is much
higher than the speed of sound in air, the hole in the balloon
actually breaks the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom.

Balloons
were invented in 1824, the same year as the electromagnet.
|
|
|
Nearly
one billion Qualatex latex balloons are manufactured per year.
|
|
|
Helium-filled
balloons float because helium is lighter than nitrogen and oxygen, the
two components of air.
|
|
|
For
more than 80 years, Qualatex balloons have been used at large events
worldwide — from American political conventions to Korean television
specials.
