What is the thickness of the material?
The PVC cloth is 0.45mm and on top of that there’s a layer of 0.3mm mirror cloth.
Is it fireproof?
No it’s fire retardant, which means it’s used to slow or stop the spread of fire.

What amount of air pressure is needed?
12-18 kpa (2.6 psi).
What type of pump is used to fill the balls with air?
A 110V air pump is included with your purchase within the USA (220V within Europe). If a stronger air pump is needed, let us know and we can provide you with one at an extra cost.
How long does it take to inflate the ball?
It takes approximately 10 minutes to inflate an 8 feet (2.4 m) ball. With that in mind it will take less than 10 minutes if the ball is smaller that 8 feet and longer than 10 minutes if the ball is larger than 8 feet.

The balls will remain intact for up to one year.
Can water be used to inflate the balls?
