| Useful Information and little know
facts! |
- Qualatex latex balloons are made from
100% natural latex - not plastic. Our latex balloons are bio-degradable,
and decompose as fast as an oak
leaf in your backyard!
- Latex balloons come from rubber trees.
Latex is collected by cutting the tree’s bark, then catching
the latex in a cup. Latex harvesting doesn't hurt the
tree!
- Latex balloons are Earth-friendly! Rubber trees grow in rain forests.
Latex
harvesting discourages deforestation because latex-producing trees are
left
intact. A tree can produce latex for up to 40 years!
- If the sound of a balloon popping
startles you, you’re not alone.
A bursting
balloon actually creates a small sonic boom! Once a hole is made in an
inflated
balloon, the quick release of the balloon’s energy, or air, causes
the hole to
grow at almost the speed of sound in rubber. Since this speed is much
higher
than the speed of sound in air, the hole in the balloon actually breaks
the
sound barrier, creating a sonic boom.
- Pioneer uses water-based printing inks. And, we use the Alar system
to
process printing ink waste into non-hazardous materials.
- Balloons were invented in 1824, the same year as the electromagnet.
- Pioneer manufactures nearly one billion
Qualatex latex balloons per
year.
- Helium-filled balloons float because helium is lighter than nitrogen
and oxygen,
the two components of air.
- For more than 80 years, Qualatex
balloons have celebrated big events worldwide - from American
political conventions to Korean television specials.
