BALLOON HELIUM

Simple, quick and safe - Balloon Helium from Messer

Balloon gas – perfect lift for every event

Balloon gas is the ideal companion for numerous events, whether for weddings, club parties, children's birthday parties, business openings, promotional events, or city festivals. With our balloon gas, you can be sure that your balloons will rise into the sky – regardless of whether you need simple decorations or eye-catching advertising media.

 

Balloon gas – the safe choice for your balloons

Messer's balloon gas consists mainly of helium, with minimal amounts of air. It is harmless, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-explosive. Our gas cylinders are available in practical sizes with a filling pressure of 200 bar, and the cylinders have a brown shoulder color. This safe and easy handling ensures that your balloons will rise reliably.

How much weight can a balloon filled with balloon gas carry?

The balloon gas, which consists mainly of helium, provides buoyancy that helps balloons rise into the air. The buoyancy of helium is approximately 1 g per liter of gas, which theoretically means that a balloon with a volume of 14.1 liters can carry approximately 7 to 8.5 g (e.g., a balloon with a diameter of 30 cm). Pear-shaped balloons offer a slightly larger volume due to their shape.

For larger balloons or airships, the buoyancy must be calculated individually, taking into account the volume and weight of the attachments.

Important information on the use of balloon gas

  • Lifespan of balloons:
    Latex balloons lose their balloon gas after about 14 to 16 hours, so they should ideally be filled shortly before the planned event.
  • Use of space:
    Filling balloons indoors is safe, provided there is adequate ventilation.
  • Safety aspects:
    Although helium is non-toxic, it should not be inhaled as it can displace oxygen in the lungs.
  • Ban on hydrogen:
    For safety reasons, it is prohibited to use hydrogen as balloon gas as it is extremely flammable.
