The invention discloses an environment-friendly transparent zinc-based heat stabilizer for PVC and a preparation process thereof, and relates to the technical field of material chemistry. The heat stabilizer comprises the following components: in parts by weight, 15-35 parts of zinc stearate, 10-32 parts of hydrotalcite, 5-15 parts of gaseous silica, 2-8 parts of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil, 5-20parts of tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate, 2-8 parts of glyceryl monostearate, 2-8 parts of pentaerythritol monostearate, 3-15 parts of phosphite, 1-15 parts of an antioxidant, 1-15 parts of an external lubricant and 0.5-5 parts of beta-diketone, and the preparation process of the heat stabilizer comprises preparation of zinc stearate and preparation of the transparent zinc-based heat stabilizer for PVC. The environment-friendly transparent zinc-based heat stabilizer for PVC does not contain lead, cadmium, mercury and other toxic heavy metal, has good long-term thermal stability, initial discoloration can be inhibited effectively, and the technical problems of poor transparency, high toxicity and poor environmental protection of existing transparent heat stabilizers are solved fully; and the process technology is simple, and rapid industrialization and large-scale production can be realized.
