The invention discloses a rubber gasket material used for valves, and a preparation method thereof. The rubber gasket material comprises following raw materials, by weight, 80 to 90 parts of butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber, 12 to 15 parts of ethylene propylene diene monomer, 3 to 7 parts of zinc oxide, 5 to 8 parts of stearic acid, 2 to 5 parts of sulfur, 4 to 6 parts of DPSDSH, 0.5 to 1 part of promoter M, 1 to 2 parts of promoter TMTD, 10 to 12 parts of aluminium hydroxide, 1 to 2 parts of zinc stearate, 6 to 8 parts of glycerol trioleate, 2 to 4 parts of magnesium oxide, 1.2 to 1.4 parts of anti-scorching agent CTP, 15 to 18 parts of N220 carbon black, 30 to 35 parts of N351 carbon black, and 10 to 12 parts of modified attapulgite. According to the rubber gasket material, modified attapulgite is added, so that processing properties of the rubber gasket material are improved; and environmental friendly accessory ingredients are used, so that toxic and side effects are reduced, and pollution on the environment is reduced. Sealing performance of the rubber gasket material is excellent, formula is reasonable, technology is simple, cost is low, and the rubber gasket material possesses excellent aging resistance and corrosion resistance.
