FAQs
Is the Helium Balloon Cylinder safe for children to use?
No, our helium cylinders are not safe for children to use. Our helium balloon cylinders are intended to be operated by a responsible adult. Children under the age of 14 should not use our helium cylinders without DIRECT adult supervision. Safety issues and warnings associated with UNIQUE™ Helium Balloon Cylinders, and balloons in general, can be found here.
Does Helium expire or "go bad"?
No, helium does not expire or “go bad,” nor does helium degrade. As long as the valve on the helium cylinder achieves an airtight seal, the helium in the cylinder will not escape. Once helium is placed inside a balloon, helium molecules will escape. View the anticipated float time for balloons for the 20ct Cylinder and the 30ct + 50ct cylinders.
Can I inflate other items besides balloons?
The UNIQUE™ Helium Balloon Cylinder is intended only for inflating helium-quality balloons. Please do not attempt to inflate other items, or attempt to use the cylinder in any other unintended manner. Safety issues and warnings associated with the helium cylinder, and balloons in general, can be found here.
Can I refill the Helium Balloon Cylinder?
UNIQUE™’s Helium Balloon Cylinders are not designed to be refilled with helium, or any other material. Attempting to refill the cylinder is dangerous. The dangers associated with refilling the cylinder are found in the safety issues and warnings associated with our helium cylinder. Refilling a tank and transporting it without properly labeling it is a violation of Federal U.S. and European law.
Where is it safe to store the Helium Balloon Cylinder?
Helium cylinders should be stored in an indoor, well-ventilated, secure area. The cylinders should not be stored in areas that are unprotected from the weather. Exposure to wet or damp areas could result in rusting, weakening the metal which could cause the cylinder to burst. The cylinder should be stored upright, to prevent damage to the nozzle or valve. The temperature of the storage area should not exceed 120˚F (49˚C). The storage area should not have any materials in it that are combustible.
Do not store the helium cylinder:
- where salt or other corrosive materials are present.
- in your vehicle for any extended period of time.
- in high-traffic areas or emergency exits, where the cylinder could be tripped over or knocked down, resulting in damage to the cylinder, injury, or release of the helium.
How long do balloons stay afloat?
Balloon float times vary based on size and number of balloons inflated. Please refer to our Float Time chart for approximate balloon float times: 20ct Cylinder and the 30ct + 50ct cylinders.
How do I handle the Helium Balloon Cylinder?
Please use the handles. Secure the helium cylinder when in use, and place it on a flat, stable surface. Do not overheat the cylinder. Do not drop the cylinder on sharp or pointed objects. If you experience any difficulty operating the cylinder valve, discontinue use. Never insert an object into valve openings, as damage to the valve may occur, causing inoperability or leaks.
