Special Services: Emerging Technologies
PRI’s emerging-technologies services help clients find novel ways to characterize and use their product’s existing materials—or materials that are being studied for possible use.
We often develop our own unique test methods and technologies to investigate these specific materials and qualities. For example, our Accelerated Pavement Weathering Systems, a proprietary PRI technology, assesses surface treatments’ performance to address pavement-preservation needs.
The innovative test methods and technologies developed in our laboratories often reveal unexpected benefits in emerging products, materials, and technologies. PRI works closely with clients to identify these benefits and discuss how they might be developed into marketing advantages or added-value or new-product revenue streams.
At the clients’ discretion and direction, PRI can assist with securing intellectual property rights.
