The invention provides a curing agent, a composition, a cover plate and a manufacturing method and application thereof, the curing agent comprises phenolic resin and arylamine
formaldehyde resin, and the arylamine
formaldehyde resin comprises a compound with a
structural formula 1; in the
structural formula 1, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from one of
hydrogen, amino,
alkyl and alkylene, and n is the
degree of polymerization and meets the requirement of weight-average molecular weight of 300-5000; the curing agent provided by the invention can improve the degree of cross-linking reaction with
high polymer materials such as
epoxy resin when being used for preparing the bolt
capacitor cover plate, and improves the
solvent resistance.
