Solid Start
• The Solid Start family began developing
and manufacturing maintenance chemicals
in 1976 for:
– Automotive
– Racing
– Heavy industry
Solid Start - continued
• Solid Start family
products have been
sold worldwide
– In more than
100 countries
Now Solid Start Introduces
• Cold-Plus® A/C & Refrigeration Treatment
– Unique patent-pending two-stage technology
Cold-Plus® Benefits
1. Reduces friction with PTFE
• Called “the slickest substance
known to man”
– Like “wet ice on wet ice”
• Chemically inert
– Does not react with
other chemicals
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
2. Surfactants & detergents remove oil fouling
–
ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers) says that …
• Due to oil fouling
– First year; up to 7% efficiency loss
– Second year; up to 5% loss
– Following years; 2% lost per year
– Loss peaks at between 20 - 30%.
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
• First oil fouling is
removed
• Then nanopolymers
help prevent the
return of oil fouling
Photos of inside A/C tubes cut in
half demonstrate oil fouling removal

3. Speeds thermodynamics
– Heat transfer - A/C cooling phase
– Cold transfer - heat pump phase
• How?
– Less oil fouling improves heat & cold transfer
– Nanopolymers reduce surface tension and
improve refrigerant flow
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
4. Improves pool boiling
(liquid turning to gas)
• How?
– Polymers act as a nuclei
(center)
– Causes Pool Boiling
approximately 20% faster
See Cold-Plus video
for live demonstration
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
• Everyday life example of the improved
heat transfer that speeds pool boiling:
o Many steam irons recommend using tap water
vs. distilled water*. Particles in tap water
improve heat transfer efficiency.
* A Consumer Reports study of 46 steam irons
concluded that using distilled water risks ruining
your iron and rendering your warranty useless.

5. Longer equipment life
– PTFE treatment reduces friction
and can extend compressor life
PTFE, like
“wet ice on wet ice”
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
6. Reduced costs for
utilities, power & fuel
Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued
7. Reduced costs for maintenance and repair
Cold-Plus® vs. the Competition
• Cold-Plus® provides unique “second stage”
benefits beyond the competition
– Oil fouling is removed and replaced with permanently
bonded slippery PTFE to prevent oil fouling’s return and
increase refrigerant flow.
– Other inert nano-sized polymer particles circulate with
refrigerant acting as a source of enhanced pool boiling,
thus speeding thermodynamics and removing more heat.
Application Longevity
• Each Cold-Plus®
application lasts the
life of the system
• ROI (Return on
Investment) is
assured

Dr. Peter Jenkins
• “One of the main advantages
of the Cold-Plus® technology
is its ability to provide a
longer lasting protection
than any other product on
the market.”
