Pocket Balloon Pump Hand Held Air Inflator Qualatex New

Qualatex Pocket Balloon Pump

The two-way action provides air on both the push and pull stroke of the pump. This makes balloons inflate faster giving you more time to be creative and have fun while taking away the frustration of pumping.

The nozzle is built for 260Q balloons but also works great for 160Q's, 350Q's, bee bodies, geo blossoms and donuts, regular round balloons, rocket balloons, and a host of other balloons.

This is the pump our kids used to originally learn balloon twisting. We've liked it so well that we all use the same pump when we twist at fairs and parties. They've lasted and lasted. Brand New.

Little known facts about Qualatex Balloons

Qualatex latex balloons are made from 100% natural latex - not plastic. Our latex balloons are biodegradable, 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. Balloons were invented in 1824, the same year as the electromagnet. Nearly one billion Qualatex latex balloons are manufactured 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.
