The Industrial Phase-Transfer Catalysis Experts

PTC Tip of the Month E-Newsletter

PTC Tip of the Month - February 2014

New Industrial PTC Technology Website Launched

By Marc Halpern, the leading expert in industrial phase-transfer catalysis.

PTC Organics is now launching its new website http://phasetransfercatalysis.com to supplement its two older PTC websites established in 1996 and 1999.

The new industrial PTC website currently provides more than 100 pages of free industrial PTC technology including previous issues of the PTC Tip of the Month, PTC Reaction of the Month, PTC Catalyst of the Month and many archived articles from the print journal “Industrial Phase-Transfer Catalysis”. By the end of 2014, we expect that the new PTC website will exceed 400 pages of valuable information about industrial phase-transfer catalysis.

On the new PTC Website, you can also register for individual PTC Webinars in the quarterly industrial PTC Webinar series, PTC Public Seminars, PTC Public Courses and have the PTC Tip of the Month E-Newsletter delivered to you monthly.

From the new PTC Website’s Contact form, you can send inquiries directly to Dr. Marc Halpern about your industrial phase-transfer catalysis needs for PTC Process Development Training, PTC Process Consulting, PTC Contract Research and a variety of PTC Manufacturing Services. PTC Manufacturing Services include requesting that PTC Organics develop and commercialize low-cost high-performance green chemistry processes for organic chemicals that your company currently purchases or may in the future purchase.

In short the new PTC Website http://phasetransfercatalysis.com is the one stop shop for industrial phase-transfer catalysis technology that brings to you valuable information in any manner that will best meet the needs of your company.

The Industrial PTC Website at http://phasetransfercatalysis.com is intended for the use of the industrial customers and potential industrial customers of PTC Organics Inc.  PTC Organics Inc. reserves the right to provide access to the information and services described on http://phasetransfercatalysis.com to customers with a valid and current Email address at a valid and current industrial organic chemical company.
