Abstract The use of pyrolysis acid (PA) as a liquid by‐product the slow wood or any other lignocellulosic biomass has been widely developed in agriculture for variety purposes such crop enhancement pesticide. Evidence from literature suggests that PA could be used sustainable preservative to protect against rot fungi and termites. experimental work presented here provides one first investigations into anti‐decay efficiency PA. Crude acquired three different types at two temperature ranges (180–280 °C 280–350 °C) was impregnate beech pine samples full‐cell process. Then, resistance treated white brown evaluated (in accordance with European standard EN 113), before after leaching test (European 84). It found that, generally, higher retention chemicals inside observed obtained 350 (PA‐350). rate 280 (PA‐280) significantly than those PA‐350. Before leaching, no statistical difference among impregnated woods terms decay resistance. Although PA‐280 initially showed fairly good they partially lost it leaching. This particularly case rot. However, impregnation PA‐350 met requirements 113 an efficient treatment basidiomycete fungi. © 2020 Society Chemical Industry John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
