The invention relates to an acrylate emulsion used for vacuum aluminum plating and laser embossing and a preparation method thereof. The emulsion comprises the following components in parts by weight: 1-6 parts of polymerizable carboxylic acid, 18-80 parts of methacrylate, 12-50 parts of acrylate, 5-20 parts of silicon-including cross-linkable monomer, 2-4 parts of polymerizable emulsifier, 0.3-0.7 parts of pH buffer agent, 0.3-0.7 parts of initiator, 0.4-2.5 parts of neutralizer and water, wherein the weight ratio of the water to the total weight of the polymerizable carboxylic acid, the methacrylate, the acrylate, the silicon-including cross-linkable monomer and the polymerizable emulsifier is (1-1.5):1. According to the method provided by the invention, the polymerizable emulsifier is used; the prepared acrylate emulsion does not include a micromolecular emulsifier; the migration of the emulsifier does not exist in a later film forming process; furthermore, polymerizable silane is introduced in a polymerization process; and the degree of cross linking of the acrylate emulsion is improved, so as to give the advantages of high temperature resistance, no migration of the emulsifier, incapability of causing the filling in of a molded blackboard, and the like, to an emulsion film.
