Q. Can you fill latex balloons with air?

Answer

The industry standard for party balloons is latex. They may be produced from nylon fabric, latex, or rubber or even materials like polypropylene. These are elastic and intended to expand up to five times their original size by absorbing air. Helium-filled latex balloons should not be confused with regular latex balloons. Since some individuals have latex allergies, you may want to think about using rubber balloons without latex for your event,. Keep in mind that latex balloons breathe, so they do not remain inflated for very long. Although air may be inserted into any latex product, air-filled balloons cannot be kept floating. Be advised that depending on the design and what you want to do with the balloon, the design may be upside down if you interchange an a balloon that was meant to be helium filled with a regular air filled one.
