Balloons are made of rubber (or similar materials) as they are very elastic, meaning the will stretch well as return (more or less) to their original shape. Also, rubber is not porous so does not let air or water out (or in). Rubber is also a very cheap product to manufacture, so can be produced in vast quantities cheaply.

What is the melting point of a rubber balloon?

The melting point of a rubber balloon depends on the specific type of rubber it is made from. Generally, the melting point of rubber is around 180-220°C (356-428°F). Heating a rubber balloon beyond its melting point will cause it to melt and lose its shape.


What ingredients are in a balloon?

A balloon is typically made from latex, which is a type of rubber. The latex is usually mixed with additives such as accelerators, antioxidants, and pigments to give the balloon its desired properties such as elasticity, color, and durability.


Which balloon has more rubber?

The simple answer is the bigger the balloon, the more rubber it will have. However, the actual amount of rubber is determined by its thickness. Thus a large but thin balloon can easily have less rubber than a smaller thicker balloon. Assuming all rubber balloons are made from the same chemical composition, you can determine which has the most rubber simply by weighing them while they are completely deflated. Alternatively, immerse the deflated balloons in water to determine their mass (by the amount of displacement).
