What is the balloon fabric made out of?
Balloon fabric in our Aerostar Balloons is made out of a rip-stop nylon from Dupont. The fabric has excellent characteristics that combine an air tight seal with a nylon weave that is nearly impossible to rip even once it is cut. The fabric is coated with chemicals that can withstand the high temperatures within the envelope, especially at the top of the balloon system. It also is coated to drastically minimize the porosity of the envelope so that only a very small amount of the heated air bleeds through the fabric and escapes. Various dyes, colors, patterns and shapes are made to shape the balloon into whatever the imagination can dream up.
