The invention discloses a building heat preservation material. The building heat preservation material is mainly prepared from, by weight, 15-30 parts of bentonite, 15-30 parts of coal ash, 10-20 parts of mica, 2-5 parts of polyacrylamide, 12-27 parts of kaolin, 11-25 parts of expanded perlite, 7-15 parts of phenolic resin, 0.5-2 parts of calcium stearate, 1-3 parts of foaming agent, 6-13 parts of soapstone, 35-55 parts of modified environment-friendly adhesive, 3-6 parts of starch ether, 6-13 parts of centrifugal glass fibers, 2-8 parts of hydroxymethyl propyl cellulose, 15-25 parts of cement, 8-17 parts of ceramsite and 11-23 parts of diatomite. The building heat preservation material is low in weight, can replace a traditional building heat preservation material, and can be used for coating protection of building side walls. The heat conductivity coefficient of the material is tested based on the GB/T10297-1998 standard, the heat conductivity coefficient is only 0.038-0.040, the heat preservation performance is extremely excellent, high acid-base corrosion resistance is achieved, no abnormities exist after the experimental test is carried out for 150 h, superhigh weather fastness is achieved, and no discoloring or pulverization or bubbles or stripping or cracks are generated 420 h later.
