The invention relates to the technical field of refractory materials, and discloses a refractory material used for glass kilns. The refractory material used for glass kilns comprises, by weight, 10-15 parts of silica, 1-3 parts of ferriferrous oxide, 1-8 parts of alumina, 1-2 parts of propylene glycol, 3-7 parts of acrylamide, 1-2 parts of aluminum nitride powder, 1-2 parts of yttrium oxide powder, 2-7 parts of barium sulfate, 1-1.5 parts of boron carbide, 0.5-1.5 parts of cerium oxide powder, 10-12 parts of phenolic resin, 6-8 parts of muscovite powder, 1-2 parts of sericite powder, 10-15 parts of polycarbosilane, 2-6 parts of zirconium oxide and 5-6 parts of magnesium oxide. The invention also provides a preparation method of the refractory material for glass kilns. The preparation method comprises the following steps: fully mixing the raw materials of all above components, ageing the raw materials, placing the aged raw materials in an electric furnace, heating the aged raw materials, cooling the heated raw materials, pouring the cooled raw materials into a precast mold, and cooling and annealing the raw materials. The refractory material used for glass kilns has the advantages of high thermal shock resistance, high strength, high toughness, good corrosion resistance and high wear resistance.
