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.

Can you melt a balloon?

No, balloons are typically made of rubber or latex, which have high melting points. If you try to melt a balloon with a flame, it will likely burst or catch on fire before melting.


What is the melting point of a balloon?

The mass of the balloon depends on its size. For small sized balloon, weighing scale can be used to calculate the mass. Anything that has mass will have gravitational force acting on it.


What is the melting point of a rubber band?

Rubber in tyres is a mixture of many things; latex, chalk, carbon, rosin, sulphur or some other vulcanization, etc. Such a mixture is quite unlikely to have a single melting point. A softening point may be a better term. This point is easily within the reach of super-heated steam, which is the main process heat. From memory (and that's not too good) it was in the vicinity of 300oF. It is heated with a vulcanizing agent to create cross links of polymerization. Latex has a lower melting point.


Why does balloon filled with water do not blast when it is shown to fire?

Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? And balloon with water not break? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot, that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. When water inside the balloon is placed in the flame, the water absorbs most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon does not become very hot. Because the rubber does not become hot, it does not weaken, and the balloon does not break. Water is a good absorber of heat


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).

Where is the weakest point on a balloon?

The weakest point on a balloon is typically the area where the rubber or latex material is thinnest, such as the tip or near the knot. Applying pressure or sharp objects to these areas can cause the balloon to rupture easily.


Why wont balloons pop when over fire when there is water in it?

Inside the balloon with no water at all, the intense heat from the hot fire will melt the surface of the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is so big that the balloon deflate and POP! With water, the water conducts the fire away from the balloon so the suface may not reach high tempertures. The balloon is remained inflated.

When does rubber melt?

It doesn't. Tire rubber (and rubber in general) has vulcanized properties that keep it from melting. The only way you can accuire melted rubber is to have it ordered form somewhere that sells it.
