The helium molecule is quite small and mobile. Your best bet is to use a balloon material that's fairly impervious already (i.e. mylar instead of latex). Failing that, there are solutions that provide a protective coating on latex balloons to help them retain helium for a longer time. Ask at your balloon shop if they use anything like that. (One brand name ... not endorsing, just mentioning; it's the first relevant hit that came up on a Google search for "latex balloon coating" ... is "Hi-Float.")

What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?

Helium-filled balloons last longer than hot air balloons. Helium is a non-flammable, inert gas that does not expand or contract with temperature changes like hot air does. Hot air balloons require periodic reheating to maintain altitude, whereas helium balloons will gradually lose lift over time but can remain buoyant for days.


What gas are balloons filled with to make them float?

Why are balloons called balloons?

Balloons are not called helium; they can be filled with helium because this gas is not flammable and has a very low density.
