How are big balloons made?

Most balloons that people usually find in the store, used for parties, and fun activities, are made out of a liquid rubber called Latex. These latex balloons are made by companies throughout the world. Firstly molds of the balloon must be placed into an paste, which contains calcium nitrate, water and alcohol. The paste applies a sticky cover to the mold which allows the latex to attach to the mold. It is then dipped into the compounded latex where the latex can stick to the molded paste. From there, the latex covered form is passed through a set of spinning brushes that makes the balloon edge at the top of the balloon. The latex mold is then dipped into hot water to get rid of any excess nitrate, or any other bacteria's. The mold is then put into an oven at 200-220 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. When cured, the rubber balloon is removed from the form.
