The physical and chemical properties needed in a balloon material are: (1) chemical stability, (2) low permeability, (3) high tensile strength, (4) low brittle temperature, (5) high tear resistance, (6) high transparency to heat radiation and (7) light weight.
In Table 1 the properties of 7 plastics and 2 coated materials are given. From this data polyethylene and saran appear to be the most suitable films.
Table 1
Fabric Low Temperature Properties Permeability Tensile Strength Tear Resistance Ease of Fabrication Stability to Ultraviolet
Polyethylene Good Medium Low Good Good Good
Saran Fair Low High Poor Fair Fair
Nylon Good Low High Low Good Good
Vinylite Very poor Medium Medium Good Good Good
Teflon Believed good Low High Good Cannot be fabricated Good
Ethocellulose Good Very high Low Fair Good Good
Pliofilm Poor High Poor Fair Good Poor
Nylon or silk fabric coated with:Neoprene Fair Low High Fair Fair Fair
Butyl rubber Good Low High Fair Fair Good
Having decided upon the proper fabric to be used, an effort was made to interest a number of companies in the fabrication and production of balloons. The first supplier of balloons made of polyethylene was Harold A. Smith, Inc., Mamaroneck, New York. In these balloons, 4 and 8 mil sheets were heat sealed to form a spherical cell open at the bottom. Load attachment tabs were set into the fabric and loading lines ran from these tabs to a load ring. This method of supporting the load proved to be unsatisfactory.
