Balloons are very common, and aluminum foil balloons are one of the most common types. So if you’re wondering how to inflate aluminum foil balloons, we’ve got you covered.
How to inflate an aluminum foil balloon?
- Before inflating the foil balloon, first, find the inflation nozzle. The inflatable mouth of each aluminum foil balloon has an indicator color, peel off the outer skin of the indicated color, and put it into the inflatable mouth of the pump.
- Always pay attention to the inflation state of the aluminum foil balloon during the inflation process. Do not overfill the foil balloon, as it may explode.
What Should I Know Before Inflating?
- Aluminum foil balloons are sealed automatically
- Inflate the aluminum foil balloon – it must be slow. If there is any sticky balloon skin, it must be carefully separated and then inflated. Otherwise, it is easy to inflate the balloon membrane. If you encounter a shape composed of upper and lower parts, you can rush to the lower part first, then slowly push the air to the upper part.
- When inflating, pinch the balloon with your hand at any time, and stop inflating when it hardens. Aluminum foil balloons have no elasticity, and excessive inflation will cause cracking.
- Avoid contacting the balloon with sharp objects, rough surfaces, excessive extrusion, and sun exposure.
- Due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the gas, when the temperature difference changes significantly, pay attention to replenishing or deflation, especially when entering a higher temperature environment in a lower temperature environment. It must be adequately deflated.
How to deflate the aluminum foil balloon?
- Find a balloon support rod, that is, a hollow rod, which should be longer, about 30 cm, and insert it along the pumping hole, and the air will come out.
- If the aluminum film balloon is closed and has no air port, puncture it with a needle if you want to deflate it.
