The molecules slowly escape through the gaps among the polymer molecules.

The molecules slowly escape through the gaps among the polymer molecules. Children sometimes fill small balloons with water and throw them at (or to) each other. A popular game with this idea is a water balloon toss, where two lines of people stand across from each other and throw balloons back and forth until each one bursts. In the last decade, some more expensive (and longer-lasting) helium balloons are made of thin, unstretchable, impermeable mylar films. The mylar balloons have attractive shiny reflective surfaces and are printable with color pictures and patterns. The most important attributes to mylar ballons are its light weight and its ability to keep the helium gas from escaping for two to three weeks. It is generally the material of choice for helium balloons.
