The invention relates to a water-based
phenolic aldehyde amine
epoxy curing agent as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of curing agents. The water-based
phenolic aldehyde amine
epoxy curing agent is prepared from
methylene ammonium ions, a
phenol reactant and a polyether amine
epoxy adduct through an
addition reaction, and comprises components with a specific structural general formula, the preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting
polyamine with urotropine to prepare
methylene ammonium ions, and gradually adding a
phenol reactant and a polyether amine epoxy
adduct; the polyether amine epoxy
adduct is prepared by carrying out ring-opening
addition reaction on polyether amine and epoxy resin. The curing agent provided by the invention can ensure that
formaldehyde residues are avoided in the preparation process, the use safety of the
phenolic aldehyde amine epoxy curing agent is greatly improved, meanwhile, the curing agent has proper flowability, reaction activity and
water resistance, the
corrosion resistance,
mechanical property and
chemical resistance can be regulated and improved, and the curing agent has very high application value.
