How to Make Balloons Shiny

When you first blow up a balloon, it may be shiny. However, latex balloons undergo a natural chemical process called oxidation. With exposure to air and UV light, they can become dull and even chalky, sometimes in just a few hours. 

Color choice can affect how noticeable oxidation becomes. Pearly and opaque latex balloons may be slower to show dulling than brighter options. Another option is to inflate balloons shortly before your event, so they look their best for a few hours. However, this is not always possible for professional installations or events. 

Decorators, retailers and event planners often choose balloon shine spray to help latex balloons maintain a glossy, just-inflated look longer.

Why Choose HI-SHINE® Spray? 

HI-SHINE® balloon spray is specifically designed to restore shine to balloons. Its silicone oil formula reduces the cloudy look caused by oxidation and helps protect latex balloons from further dulling. Here are some of the benefits:

  • Safety: HI-SHINE® is fragrance-free, non-toxic and made with ingredients commonly used in personal care products, cosmetics and food.
  • Easy application: Apply a light spray and let HI-SHINE® spread across the balloon surface. No rubbing is required, and the shine can last for weeks without reapplication.
  • U.S.-made formula: HI-SHINE® is manufactured in the United States.
  • Two formulations: Choose from HI-SHINE® aerosol or liquid formulas. Aerosol formulas produce shine immediately. HI-SHINE® liquid can be used in both outdoor and indoor settings.
