Disclosed are a self-formaldehyde-scavenging heat-resistant ABS material and a preparation method therefor. The material includes following components in parts by weight: 75-95 parts of an ABS resin, 4-20 parts of a heat-resistant agent, 0.5-5 parts of a formaldehyde-scavenging masterbatch, 0.1-1 part of a formaldehyde-scavenging agent and 0.5-1 part of other auxiliaries. During preparation, the ABS resin, the heat-resistant agent and the other auxiliaries are mixed and fed through a main feeding port of a twin-screw extruder; and the formaldehyde-scavenging masterbatch and the formaldehyde-scavenging agent are fed to a rear section of the extruder, extruded and pelletized. By the method of the present invention, the content of formaldehyde in particles can be reduced by 40%, and the content of formaldehyde in a closed space can be reduced by 50% or more. Moreover, the content of other volatile organic compounds is reduced by 10% to 20%. Thus, the effects of controlling the formaldehyde emission from a material for a long time and inhibiting the content of formaldehyde in a space are achieved.
