Grafix Plastics does not make Mylar Balloons, nor do we make Mylar Balloon materials.
Are Mylar Balloons made of DuraLar? No! Mylar Balloons are not made of any type of DuraLar, or Mylar or any other type of Polyester Film. ” Mylar balloons ” are made of a specially coated Nylon designed to seal to itself, and act as a barrier to hold helium gas.
