The invention discloses a water-based dry-type complex film 
adhesive and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of preparation of 
adhesive. The preparation method of the complex film 
adhesive comprises the following steps: by using monomers, an emulsifier, an initiator, a 
buffering agent, deionized water, a pH 
regulator and water-based assistants as raw materials, emulsifying, carrying out seed reaction and 
polymerization reaction, and compounding to obtain the complex film adhesive of which the 
solid content is 45-55%, wherein the monomers comprise a hard 
monomer, soft monomers and functional monomers; the hard 
monomer is 
styrene; the soft monomers comprise 
butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl 
acrylate; the functional monomers comprise 
acrylic acid or 
methacrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl 
acrylate or 2-hydroxypropyl 
acrylate, and 
diallyl phthalate; and the emulsifier comprises 
ammonium alkyl ether sulfate, 
sodium sulfosuccinate and 
sodium allyloxysulfonate in a weight ratio of 2:1:(0.4-0.8). The complex film adhesive has the advantages of high 
bonding strength, favorable affinity and covering performance for ink, and environment protection since the content of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) is lowered.
