Abstract: An epoxy resin composition for a copper-clad laminate comprising an epoxy resin having at least two epoxy groups in one molecule, a phenolic compound having at least two functional groups in one molecule as a hardener, an imidazole compound having a masked imino group as a hardening accelerator, and one or more of nitrogen compounds selected from the group consisting of urea derivatives represented by the formula R.sup.1 --NH--CO--NH.sub.2, wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an organic group; acid amide compounds; and guanidine derivatives, which is advantageously used for the material of a copper-clad laminate. Accordingly, the copper-clad laminate is especially used for the production of printed circuit boards, and its drilling property, peeling resistance of the copper foil, adhesive property, and heat resistance are improved remarkably. In addition, this epoxy resin composition has an excellent storing stability.
