Disclosed is a preparation method of a PTFE dispersion resin with a core-shell structure, including: adding a fluorine-containing hydrocarbon and a fluorine-containing modifying monomer as nucleating agents in an initial nucleating stage of polymerization, adding a small amount of a non-PFOA surfactant to regulate a particle core structure, and adding the same or different non-PFOA surfactant during a growth stage to stabilize a dispersion. The method can avoid the use of PFOA surfactants, consume less surfactants and achieve good emulsion stability. The PTFE dispersion resin thus prepared has a core-shell multilayer structure, low extrusion pressure, good thermal stability, and excellent mechanical properties, and is especially suitable for the preparation of small-diameter tubes by high-compression-ratio paste extrusion.
