Hi Float FAQs
Common questions about our Hi Float.
Hi-Float is a balloon treatment solution that creates a protective coating inside latex balloons, dramatically extending their float time. When you treat balloons with Hi-Float before inflating with helium, they can float up to 25 times longer than untreated balloons! This amazing product works by sealing the pores in latex, preventing helium from escaping quickly. HICO Distributing in Memphis stocks various sizes of Ultra Hi-Float to keep your celebrations floating beautifully for days instead of hours.
Applying Hi-Float is super easy with the right technique! First, pump about half an ounce of Hi-Float treatment into your uninflated balloon using our convenient Hi-Float dispenser. Next, gently massage the balloon to distribute the solution evenly throughout the interior. Then, immediately inflate your balloon with helium as normal. The key is to work quickly after applying the treatment for the best balloon longevity results. Need help getting started? Give our Memphis team a call at (901) 726-4460 for expert tips!
The right Hi-Float size depends on how many balloons you're planning to treat! Our 16oz Ultra Hi-Float bottle treats approximately 320 standard balloons, making it perfect for home parties and small events. For larger celebrations, the 24oz size handles about 480 balloons. If you're planning multiple events or want the best value, our 96oz Ultra Hi-Float treats nearly 2,000 balloons and is incredibly cost-effective. HICO Distributing in Memphis helps you choose the perfect size for your balloon decoration needs.
While you can technically apply Hi-Float without a dispenser, the Hi-Float dispenser makes the process much easier, faster, and more accurate! This handy tool ensures you get the right amount of solution into each balloon without waste or mess. The dispenser creates consistent results and saves time when treating multiple balloons for events. Professional decorators and anyone treating more than a few balloons find the dispenser essential for efficient Hi-Float application. At just $8.90, it's a smart investment that pays for itself quickly in time saved and precise balloon treatment.
As a professional decorator, you'll love how these products complement each other perfectly! Hi-Float treatment is applied inside balloons before inflation to extend float time dramatically, while Hi-Shine is a finishing spray applied to the outside of inflated balloons for a gorgeous, glossy appearance. Hi-Shine enhances the visual appeal and gives balloons that professional polished look clients expect. Many professional decorators in Memphis use both products together - Hi-Float for longevity and Hi-Shine for that stunning finish that sets their work apart from competitors. Our professional balloon supplies help you deliver exceptional results every time.
Most professional balloon artists find the 96oz Ultra Hi-Float size offers the best value and convenience for regular business use. This larger size treats approximately 2,000 balloons, which typically lasts busy professionals 2-3 months depending on event volume. Having this much balloon treatment solution on hand prevents running out during busy seasons like graduation, wedding, and holiday periods. Professional decorators in Memphis often pair this with our Hi-Float dispenser for efficient application. Contact our team at (901) 726-4460 to discuss professional quantity discounts and delivery options.
Both Hi-Shine options give balloons that beautiful glossy finish, but they work differently for various situations! The Hi-Shine aerosol spray provides quick, even coverage and is perfect for treating multiple balloons rapidly at events or in your workspace. The 8oz bottle version offers more control and is economical for smaller projects or when you need precise application. Professional decorators often keep both on hand - the aerosol for large jobs and the bottle for detailed work. HICO Distributing in Memphis can help you determine which Hi-Shine balloon polish works best for your specific business needs and balloon finishing requirements.
Small businesses can maximize savings by choosing the right Hi-Float size for their volume! While the 16oz bottle costs $14.25, the 96oz Ultra Hi-Float at $39.95 treats six times more balloons for less than three times the price - that's significant savings per balloon treated. If you use Hi-Float regularly for events, parties, or promotions, the larger size offers much better value. HICO Distributing in Memphis works with small business owners to calculate your typical usage and find the most cost-effective Hi-Float solution that fits your budget and storage space.
Hi-Float has excellent shelf life when stored properly, making it perfect for small venues that use it periodically! Store your Ultra Hi-Float bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The solution remains effective for years when stored correctly, so buying the larger 24oz or 96oz sizes makes sense even for smaller venues. Keep the bottle tightly sealed between uses to maintain product quality. HICO Distributing in Memphis can provide specific Hi-Float storage recommendations for your venue's conditions. Contact us for guidance on proper storage and handling of your balloon treatment supplies.
For beginners starting their first balloon project, the 16oz Ultra Hi-Float bottle is perfect! This size treats about 320 balloons, which is plenty for learning proper application techniques and completing several practice projects. You'll also want to get the Hi-Float dispenser to make application easier and more accurate as you learn. Starting with this combination gives you enough balloon treatment solution to practice and perfect your technique without a huge initial investment. HICO Distributing in Memphis can guide new balloon decorators through choosing the right Hi-Float starter supplies for successful first projects.
Hi-Float works specifically with latex balloons filled with helium - it won't work on foil or mylar balloons since they already have excellent float times. The key technique is applying about half an ounce of Hi-Float inside the uninflated balloon, massaging it to coat the interior evenly, then immediately inflating with helium. Work quickly after application for best results, and always use the Hi-Float dispenser for consistent, accurate amounts. HICO Distributing in Memphis stocks high-quality latex balloons that work perfectly with Hi-Float treatment, ensuring you get maximum balloon float time extension from every application.
Car dealerships get much better return on investment when their balloon displays stay inflated longer! Hi-Float treatment means your promotional balloons keep attracting customers for days instead of deflating within hours, especially important for outdoor lot displays. The 24oz or 96oz Ultra Hi-Float sizes are perfect for dealerships that regularly refresh their balloon advertising. Combined with Hi-Shine for that glossy, professional appearance, your automotive balloon promotions maintain their eye-catching appeal much longer. HICO Distributing in Memphis helps car dealerships create lasting promotional displays that keep drawing customers to your lot. Call (901) 726-4460 to discuss your dealership balloon advertising needs.
