Where are our balloons used?

As the world’s highest ascending balloons( up to 50km),Our meteorological balloon can be widely used in weather forecast, target track, near space research, scientific research, upper earth mapping, typhoon and hurricane detection, etc.

However, our balloons are forbidden to use in military purposes and in warfare.

What advantage does our company have?

Our company has several advantages that set us apart from others:

High Altitude Capability: Our NSL meteorological balloons are designed to reach some of the highest altitudes in the world (now it can reach 50km). With advanced technology and materials, we can achieve altitudes that surpass any other balloon supplier.

Product Range: We offer a wide range of balloon sizes, ranging from 10 grams to 8000 grams. This allows us to cater to various needs and applications in the field of meteorology and atmospheric research.

Key Model: Our key model, the 350 gram meteorological balloon, has gained recognition for its exceptional performance and reliability (can reach 28-29km in many countries). It has become a preferred choice for many professionals in the industry.

Safety and Compliance: We prioritize safety in our balloon manufacturing process. Our products strictly adhere to international standards and regulations. It is important to note that our balloons are strictly prohibited from military use and involvement in warfare, emphasizing our commitment to ethical practices.

Customer Satisfaction: We prioritize customer satisfaction and strive to meet their specific requirements. Our dedicated team provides excellent customer service, prompt communication, and reliable after-sales support.

Competitive Pricing: We offer competitive pricing without compromising on the quality of our products. Our goal is to provide value for money, ensuring that our customers receive top-quality balloons at affordable prices.

Customization Options: We understand that different projects may have unique requirements. Therefore, we offer customization options to tailor our balloons according to specific needs, such as payload capacity, materials, and special features.

Research and Development: We continuously invest in research and development to improve our products and explore innovative solutions. This commitment to innovation ensures that our customers have access to cutting-edge balloon technology.

These advantages make our company a reliable and trusted supplier in the field of meteorological balloons, catering to the needs of meteorological organizations, research institutions, and atmospheric scientists worldwide.

Does the balloon have the same standard in the world?

The WMO provides guidelines and recommendations for various aspects of meteorological balloon operations, including balloon materials, sizes, inflation procedures, tracking systems, and data collection methods. These guidelines aim to promote uniformity and accuracy in meteorological measurements across different regions and countries.

However, it’s important to note that while the general principles and standards for meteorological balloons are consistent, there might be some variations in specific practices and requirements among different countries or meteorological organizations. These variations could be influenced by factors such as local climate conditions, operational preferences, and technological advancements.

Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that meteorological balloon measurements are reliable, accurate, and comparable across different regions, enabling meteorologists and scientists worldwide to study and understand atmospheric conditions effectively.

Our company uses big neck diameter balloons, while other countries use small neck diameter balloons, and we can provide a converter adapter for any neck diameter for inflation.

What manufacturing method does our balloon use? Any advantage with such producing method?

We use dipping method for producing balloon, which has many advantages (as below) and assure our quality is superior to any other suppliers.

Consistent Coating Thickness: The dipping method allows for the formation of a uniform rubber coating thickness on the balloon mold. This contributes to the uniformity and stability of the balloon. A consistent coating ensures even pressure distribution during inflation and ascent, reducing the risk of balloon rupture or deformation.

Precise Size Control: The dipping method enables precise control over the balloon’s size by regulating the dipping time and number of coating layers. This allows for the production of balloons that meet specific size requirements, ensuring the desired volume and buoyancy during ascent.

Enhanced Strength and Durability: Balloons manufactured using the dipping method typically exhibit higher strength and durability. The uniformity and density of the rubber coating provide excellent tear resistance and abrasion resistance, allowing the balloon to withstand various weather conditions for extended periods.

High Customizability: The dipping method offers great flexibility for customization. By adjusting the composition of the rubber coating, dipping time, and layering, it is possible to produce balloons of different sizes, thicknesses, and characteristics to meet specific application and meteorological requirements.

Efficient Production: The dipping method is relatively simple and has a clear production process, resulting in higher production efficiency compared to more complex manufacturing methods. This can lower production costs and increase production capacity to meet the demands of large-scale balloon production.

How to do business with us?

We are a factory, not a store or E-shop, so selling samples is not our main business. We primarily focus on supplying in bulk to meteorological organizations and related departments in each country. We can engage reliable and qualified agents from different countries to participate in tenders on our behalf.

Product Pricing: As our products are of the highest quality globally, our prices may not be the lowest. However, we always strive to provide our customers with the best cost performance.

Payment Terms: We require a 50% advance TT, the balance before shipment.

Lead Time: Normally, the lead time is around 25 days.

Shipping Methods: We offer various shipping methods including sea freight, air freight, rail transport, and road transport, among others.

Samples: not free, but the related costs can be deducted from future orders.

Product warranty: 18 months under normal use.

How to store the balloon?

The balloons should be stored in a place that is protected from direct sunlight, preferably in a shaded area. They should never be placed near heat sources or sources of ozone. Whether made of natural rubber or chloroprene rubber, balloons can be damaged if exposed to the ozone environment generated by high-power generators or motors. All balloons should be kept in their original packaging until they are ready for use. It is important to avoid any contact between the balloons and oil or any other substances that can penetrate the packaging material and damage the balloons.

If possible, the balloons should be stored indoors at a temperature of 15-25°C.
