Specifications:
Each Bio Dove measures 39 x 15 inches when fully inflated. Bio Doves are sold as a single sampler or in a pack containing 5 doves. Instructions are indicated on each pack. All Bio Doves are white Helium is not included in this purchase, but is readily available at most party stores. For further info see the FAQ at the bottom of this page.

Bio Dove balloons are meant to be used with helium gas only. Helium is a very safe gas as it is tasteless, odourless, non toxic and does not combust. No special previous experience is needed.

It is recommended that you use a helium tank . Anyone can easily fill the Bio Dove balloons. A lot of venues have helium tank (example party city stores) or they are readily available.

Provided that you are using a tank equipped with a pressure regulator, the inflation times for our white dove balloons is around 20 seconds. Fill the dove balloon until it begins to take shape then ease of the pressure until the wings look full but with a few lines on them. You dont want them to be too full/tight.

When inflating a balloon, the balloon will take on its shape and begin to slowly float. That signals that there is a sufficient amount of helium in the balloon. If too much helium is inserted into the balloon, part of the balloon will abnormally expand and a short puffing sound will be heard meaning that the balloon has been ruptured. Unlike with conventional rubber balloons, a pop sound will not be heard. Ruptured balloons will not float, so please dispose of them properly.

We recommend keeping each balloon tied to a long rope until its release. White dove balloons are equipped with a paper string that can be tied to the rope. When the time comes for releasing the balloons, the fastest way is to cut the paper strings from the rope using scissors.
Check out our video page for a video on them being filled and launched.

We recommend that White dove balloons stay grounded for no longer than 2 hours. Though the average float time for white dove balloons is 20 hours,

About Releasing Balloons

How fast do white dove balloons rise up into air?
Unlike rubber balloons, White dove balloons rise a lot more slowly. Although wind is also a factor

After being inflated with helium, the balloons are known to float for more than 20 hours. Of course, the amount of time an inflated balloon on the rope has been grounded for should also be considered.

Just take the empty canister down to your local civic amenity site where it can be recycled.please ensure the helium canister is fully empty and the valve is in the open position.

The product is mainly made of polyolefin. (Polyolefin is the material that regular plastic bags are made from.) When Totally Degradable Plastic Additives is added to it, it becomes new material that breaks down when exposed to ultraviolet rays, heat, or physical stress until, finally, it decomposes into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass.
