mylar balloon

Metallic floating decoration

A mylar balloon is a balloon made from metallic polyester film rather than rubber or latex.

These balloons hold helium longer, come in elaborate shapes and printed designs, and have a shiny, reflective surface: The party store was full of mylar balloons shaped like cartoon characters.

Unlike latex balloons, they don't biodegrade and pose hazards to wildlife and power lines.
