Latex balloons are made from a mixture of natural latex and synthetic latex. The latex mixture is whipped into a froth, poured into balloon molds, and baked. Latex balloons are thin, lightweight, and flexible, making them ideal for twisting and shaping. They are available in a wide range of colors, designs, and finishes, such as matte, metallic or pearlized, Macaron Pastel, Retro, Chrome, neon and confetti balloons (transparent balloons (with confetti filled). Latex balloons are less expensive than rubber balloons and are commonly used for indoor events, parties, and personal celebrations.
Latex balloons, made from natural rubber latex, are biodegradable and eco-friendly. However, they have a shorter lifespan, especially with helium.
