Abstract: 
The curing system for newly developed solid state fire safe epoxy resins using dicyandiamide (DICY) was introduced. Composites of epoxy resins obtained from diglycidyl ether of 1,1-dichloro-2,2bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene bisphenol-C (BPC) and bisphenol-A (BPA) epoxy resins in the reaction with BPC and BPA and DICY hardener were studied. Solid epoxy resins were synthesised by the use of two different heating methods: conventional and microwave reactor. The quantities of DICY additions were 0.5–5.0 %, optimum was found to be 3 %. Limited oxygen index (OI) tests for different epoxy resins and addition of flame – retardants were carried out. The highest value of OI was 34.6. As additional flame-retardants were used zinc stannates (ZS, ZHS). Evident OI increase was noted from 27.0 for classical epoxies, 34.6 for BPC cured epoxies and 44 for cured composites with the addition of Zn/Sn flame-retardants.
