• Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) compounds were cured with methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) as hardener and 2,4,6‐tris (dimethylaminomethyl) phenol (DEH 35) as catalyst. To figure out MTHPA and DEH 35's influence during curing and degradation, ESO/MTHPA/DEH 35 compounds were investigated using Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetry (TG). FTIR spectra of uncured resin showed the secondary interactions among ESO's carbonyl groups with MTHPA and DEH 35's hydroxyls and amines. Curing progress was followed tracking the evolution of reactive groups, that is, epoxy and carbonyl bands and corroborated with released heat of DSC scans. ESO 87:5 and ESO 87:10 compounds cured using higher heating rates presented higher released enthalpy suggesting denser reticulation, and they also displayed lower activation energy Ea for curing, which was evaluated using the Friedman model. Increasing the hardener and catalysts contents promoted higher thermal stability and lower degradation rates, while higher Ea for degradation was verified. α and conversion rate for ESO/MTHPA/DEH 35 compounds.
