Detailed Standard Balloon Manufacturing Process

• Raw Material
  Only premium ISO/FDA-grade NBR, EPDM, and reinforced fabrics are used to ensure chemical stability and performance.
• Mixing & Vulcanization
  Automated vulcanization for best elasticity and tensile strength.
• Layer Winding / CNC Mesh
  Multi-axis CNC ensures uniformity. Fiber mesh (Nylon/Kevlar) added for anti-burst properties.
• Curing & Molding
  Automated hot-mold forming holds dimensions within ±1.2mm tolerance, critical for high-pressure fit.
• Finish & Printing
  Surface trimmed, custom graphics printed. Each Standard Balloon etched with traceable batch code.
• Inspection/Testing
  100% tested per ANSI/ISO 9001: burst test, air leak test, dimension and flexibility check.
• Packing
  Vacuum packed with anti-UV sleeves.
