Liquid composition (C1) for varnish production comprises a dicyclopentadiene-modified polyester resin, an epoxy resin and a hardener for the epoxy resin. The two resins are compatible and miscible, forming two interpenetrating networks of thermoset polymers, and the composition is free of styrene, vinyltoluene and diallyl phthalate. Independent claims are also included for: (1) production of C1 by hydrolyzing maleic anhydride, esterifying part of the acid functions with a dicyclopentadiene derivative and esterifying the rest with a polyol, and mixing the resulting polyester with an epoxy resin and hardener; (2) thermoset varnish comprising a polymer network of dicyclopentadiene-modified polyester interpenetrated with an epoxy polymer network; (3) production of the varnish by gelling C1 and polymerizing the resulting prepolymers.
