The invention discloses an
alkylphenol modified phenolic
amide curing agent and a preparation method thereof. The
alkylphenol modified phenolic
amide curing agent comprises the raw components including
phenol or
phenol derivatives, methanal or
paraformaldehyde,
polyamine and
fatty acid or
fatty acid polymer. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: uniformly mixing the
fatty acid or the fatty acid
polymer and the
polyamine, heating the mixture, cooling the mixture, adding the
phenol or the phenol derivatives in the mixture, uniformly mixing the methanal or the
paraformaldehyde with the mixture, heating the new mixture, and performing
dehydration on the new mixture to obtain the product; or the preparation method comprises the following steps of: uniformly mixing the phenol or the phenol derivatives, the
polyamine and the methanal or the
paraformaldehyde, heating the mixture, adding the fatty acid or the fatty acid
polymer into the mixture, heating the new mixture, and performing the
dehydration on the new mixture to obtain the product. The curing agent disclosed by the invention is very strong in salt spray
corrosion resistance, is superior to
polyamide curing agent and curing agent products of modified
phenolic aldehyde amide resin and mixtures of the modified
phenolic aldehyde amide resin, and has good
impact strength and flexibility as well as excellent water tolerance.
