Although wood is a renewable resource, it is subject to deterioration processes that require preservative treatment applications to increase its durability. Despite its several advantageous properties, pine wood is susceptible to many wood-eating organisms; therefore, it is essential applying preservatives to optimize its use. Accordingly, the aim of the present study ia to assess the efficiency of pine wood treatment with furfuryl alcohol to improve its resistance against wood-eating fungus Rhodonia placenta under laboratory conditions. Seventy-five (75) specimens were produced and subjected to five treatments, including the control, fifteen replicates and four different FA concentrations (10%, 25%, 50% and 100%). The samples were subjected to R. placenta under laboratory conditions. All FA concentrations were capable of increasing pine wood resistance against this fungus; it significantly reduced mass loss in comparison to untreated wood. In conclusion, furfuryl alcohol protected Pinus sp. wood against R. placenta action under laboratory conditions, at any tested concentrations.
