The invention discloses a cashew phenolic aldehyde amide epoxy hardener for four-season-general type anticorrosive paint and a preparation method of the cashew phenolic aldehyde amide epoxy hardener. The cashew phenolic aldehyde amide epoxy hardener is composed of, by weight, one part of diethylenetriamine, 2.5-3 parts of dimer acids or fat single acids, 2.8-3.2 parts of anacardol, one part of the diethylenetriamine, and 0.9-1.2 parts of 96%-purity paraformaldehyde. Raw material composition, and the best matching and the feeding order of each material are optimized through a large number of experiments, and each component matching is scientific and reasonable. The method of mannich addition after amidation is utilized, the whole process is strong in operability, cost is low, production periods are short, productivity is high, the prepared cashew phenolic aldehyde amide epoxy hardener can be general in four seasons, drying is rapid, operation periods are short, anti-corrosion performance is good, and water-proof performance is excellent. The cashew phenolic aldehyde amide epoxy hardener can be widely used in the fields of pipe and storage tank storage corrosion prevention, adhesion agents, metallic top coats, chip heavy corrosion prevention and the like.
