Giving a twist to the series “Inside the Work”, today the focus is on Ribas do Rio Pardo, MS, where Suzano is building the largest pulp and paper mill in the world. This megaproject presents challenges and opportunities in construction, including the choice of materials. It is in this scenario that the PRFV stands out.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) isn't exactly a novelty, but it remains one of the most solid choices when it comes to construction materials for industrial projects.
GRP is a blend of fiberglass and polymers, making it a material that is both resistant and flexible. It can be applied in a variety of sectors, such as sanitation and the chemical industry, and is especially useful in large scale projects, such as the one at Suzano.

One of the key advantages of GRP is its excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. This becomes crucial, especially when the focus is on wastewater treatment and you have to deal with various chemicals. In addition, we must not forget that it is a lightweight material, which greatly facilitates its movement, installation and even the costs associated with these steps.

As for maintenance, the GRP also leaves nothing to be desired. It's easy to clean and repairs, when necessary, are generally quick and inexpensive. Its durability is another advantage that cannot be overlooked, especially in long-term projects.
The quality of any GRP project depends on correct sizing and strict compliance with manufacturing standards. Every detail counts, and when well executed, the result pays off.
