Product Information

Heveabrasiliensis, the most widely used natural latex used in balloon manufacturing, grows primarily in Malaysia. America imports this sap from Malaysia in large ocean tanker ships. Throughout history, balloon productions have been different and unique. Before balloon industries were a thing, different methods were used to make balloons.

The color of the modern-day balloons is achieved by adding similar pigment to the latex. So, basically, a red balloon looks red because red pigmentation is added to the latex. People also witnessed tethered balloons even during World War II. Usually used for military and defense purposes, they are tethered to someplace to make observations. Most of them are either blimps or hot air balloons. Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children.

Michael Faraday designed the first rubber balloon in 1824, which he invented for use in lab experiments.

In the pre-rubber era, air balloons were made from animal bladders and animal intestines. Most of these bladders came from sea animals. Each RFC Brigade had a Kite Balloon Wing commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. Within each wing was a number (typically five) Kite Balloon Companies – these being commanded by a Captain or Major. Each Company would have two or three Kite Balloon Sections.[1] Balloons, when filled, also carry some amount of air or gas, including helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, and oxygen. These gases are responsible for making these gas balloons go up. Lieut. Col. G F H Faithfull, command 3rd Balloon Wing, Royal Air Force, wrote to Dodd's parents: “Your son was a very promising officer and a good Observer, who had done a great deal of very valuable work during the strenuous times of the last few months,” and Major W Huxley: “He was one of my most keen young observers, and I was most interested in him, as he had shown great promise. He had, as you know, gained his Observer’s badge just before going out..." In 1915, Radford left the show to enlist in the Royal Flying Corps. Serving in the Somme area, he was killed a year later when he fell from his balloon. Initially it was reported that his parachute had snagged on the balloon wires but this was later found to be incorrect. On 20 August 1916 Hallam was due to make an ascent with 2Lt P B Moxon. Unusually, a third man, Lt Geoffrey McCall. McCall, whose brother was a school chum of Hallam, had been invited along as a guest.Depending on the type of gas used, some balloons, such as helium balloons, can stay up in the air for as long as a day. Types Of Balloons The first public demonstration of a light air balloon happened in 1783. This balloon was 420 in (1066.8 cm) long and made of cloth and paper. Different colors also determine the strength of balloons, as some pigments are larger in size and may interfere with the film continuity. Why do balloons float?
