This paper deals with the effect of addition of epoxidized mowrah oil (EMO) and epoxidized cashew‐nut‐shell liquid (ECNSL) on the properties of glass fibre reinforced conventional epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) composites. The chemical resistance, tensile strength and flexural strength of the laminates increased, while impact and hardness were found to decrease on using these diluents with DGEBA. Dielectric properties such as breakdown strength, dielectric constant (ϵ′) dielectric loss (ϵ″) and loss tangent (tan δ) were compared. A significant improvement in the properties was observed on addition of 20 parts per hundred grams (phr) of an epoxy fortifier, a condensation product of phenyl glycidyl ether and 4‐hydroxyacetanilide.
