English abstract Some wood preservatives have a warning due to environmental restrictions and risks to man health. The aim of this study is to determine the performance of non impregnated and impregnated wood with a CCA salt and a bio-protective made from "quebracho colorado", when facing the action of fungi responsible for white rot decay by Pycnoporus sanguineus and brown rot attack by Gloeophyllum sepiarium. Wood samples were impregnated with different solutions by vacuum-pressure method. The design was in complete blocks at random with five repetitions. The treatments were T0: non impregnated blank sample; impregnated T1: CCA; T2 Colatan IPG-F, T3: Colatan IPG-C, T4: Colatan IPG-C, with retentions of: 6, 18, 9 and 25 kg m-3 respectively. The variable was wood weight loss. Preservative CCA and bio-protective Colatan IPG-C increased the resistance to fungal degradation in lab assay, changing from non-resistance to very resistant (Findlay criterion), guaranteeing the biodegradation process inhibition.
