Bobo balloons, also known as transparent balloons, are a common balloon product, mainly made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material. TPU has excellent transparency, elasticity and durability, making Bobo balloons present a crystal clear effect after inflation. They are widely used in various celebrations and decoration occasions, such as birthday parties, wedding arrangements, festival celebrations, etc.
Bobo balloon production process
Material preparation: Take TPU particles or films as raw materials to ensure that their quality meets production requirements.
Heating and plasticizing: Heat the TPU material to a specific temperature to soften it for subsequent processing.
Mold molding: Put the softened TPU material into a pre-designed balloon mold and form it into a spherical shape through blow molding or compression molding.
Cooling and shaping: Cool the molded balloon in the mold to keep it in the desired shape and size.
Demolding: Carefully remove the cooled balloon from the mold to avoid damage.
Inspection and packaging: Perform quality inspection on the balloons to ensure that there are no defects such as leakage and breakage. Qualified balloons will be packaged and stored, ready for shipment.
It should be noted that the production process of Bobo balloon is different from that of traditional latex balloons, mainly reflected in the material selection and molding method. Traditional latex balloons are usually made of natural latex and produced by dipping molds, while Bobo balloons are made of TPU materials and molded by blow molding or compression molding.
Due to the characteristics of TPU materials, Bobo balloons have higher transparency and durability, but the temperature and pressure need to be strictly controlled during the production process to ensure product quality.
Compared with latex balloons, Bobo balloons have their own characteristics in materials, performance and uses
1. High material transparency
Bobo balloon: Made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material, it has extremely high transparency and presents a crystal clear effect after inflation, which is very suitable for lighting matching or as a decoration.
Latex balloon: Made of natural latex, it has lower transparency and more diverse colors but not as clear as Bobo balloons.
Advantages:
The transparent material of Bobo balloon is more suitable for creating dreamy and fashionable decoration scenes, especially in scenes such as parties and weddings where lighting and decoration need to be integrated.
2. Elasticity and durability
Bobo balloon: TPU material has good elasticity and tear resistance, large expansion space, suitable for making large-sized balloons.
Latex balloon: Latex balloon has good elasticity, but it is easy to rupture or oxidize after over-expansion or long-term exposure.
Advantages:
Bobo balloon is more durable, with a lower risk of rupture, and can maintain its intact appearance for a long time, suitable for occasions that need to be displayed for a long time.
3. Waterproof and sealing
Bobo balloon: The material has excellent waterproof performance and strong sealing, which can keep the gas from leaking for a long time.
Latex balloon: Although it has a certain degree of waterproofness, it has poor sealing and usually leaks gradually.
Advantages:
Bobo balloon performs better in waterscape decoration and outdoor activities, and is not easily affected by humidity and temperature
4. Can be used with LED lights
Bobo balloon: TPU material can transmit light well, and can be used with LED light strips to create a lighting effect with great visual impact.
Latex balloon: Although it can also be used with lights, the effect is not as good as Bobo balloons because of its thicker material and poor light transmittance.
Advantages:
Bobo balloons can attract more attention in night activities and festivals, and have unique visual effects.
5. Environmental protection
Bobo balloons: TPU materials are recyclable and have relatively little impact on the environment.
Latex balloons: Although latex is a natural material and biodegradable, it takes a long time to degrade, and it may burden the environment after large-scale use.
Advantages:
Bobo balloons are more in line with modern environmental protection trends, especially in the high-end market
6. Personalization and high-end feeling
Bobo balloons: often used to make large-sized, creative balloons, full of technology and fashion, suitable for high-end parties or activities.
Latex balloons: suitable for daily and traditional decoration occasions, low price, convenient mass production.
Advantages:
Bobo balloons are more suitable for customized and high-end market needs, and can enhance the sense of grade of decoration.

Bobo balloon is more suitable for scenes that require high quality and visual effects, such as high-end parties, weddings, festivals and commercial displays. Latex balloons are more suitable for daily decoration or occasions with large-scale and cheap needs.
How to use Bobo balloon
There are two types of Bobo balloons on the market, flat Bobo balloon & No stretch Bobo balloon. Here are their usage methods:

Flat Bobo balloon: The ball skin needs to be pulled horizontally and vertically before inflating to ensure that the balloon is full and round after inflation.
Stretch-free Bobo balloon: No need to pull, just inflate directly, you can get a full and round balloon.
It should be noted that although the Bobo balloon has great elasticity, it can also rupture if it is over-inflated. Therefore, you should understand the approximate size of the Bobo balloon before inflating it, and press the ball during the inflation process. When the elasticity is low, you can stop inflating it to avoid over-inflation and explosion.
Specifications of Bobo balloon
Bobo balloons are available in a variety of sizes, and the common ones are 13 inches, 18 inches, 24 inches, 36 inches and other different specifications. For example, the diameter of a 13-inch balloon after inflation is about 30-35 cm (slightly different for different products), the diameter of an 18-inch balloon after inflation is about 40-45 cm, the diameter of a 24-inch balloon after inflation reaches 50-60 cm, and the diameter of a 36-inch balloon after inflation reaches 70-80 cm, etc.
