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® Benefits1. 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 – continued2. 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

Cold-Plus® Benefits – continued 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% fasterSee 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
Test DocumentationTest documents demonstrate:
– Removed oil fouling removal – Improved thermal transfer– Reduced costs for utilities / power / fuel– Reduced emissions & environmental impact– Increased lubricity – Reduced compressor run timeContinued – next slide

– Reduced start-up amp draw– Improved pool boiling– Longer Unit Life– Reduced Maintenance Costs– Application Longevity– ROI (Return on Investment)
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.”
