The invention belongs to the technical field of high polymer materials, and in particular relates to a polypropylene composite material for an automobile hard plastic instrument panel and a preparation method for the polypropylene composite material. The polypropylene composite material is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 33 to 76 percent of polypropylene, 0 to 2 percent of heat stabilizer, 0 to 2 percent of processing aid, 0 to 2 percent of nucleating agent special for polypropylene, 10 to 20 percent of plasticizer, 2 to 6 percent of compatibilizer, 10 to 25 percent of superfine talc powder and 2 to 10 percent of chopped flat fiberglass. When the polypropylene composite material for the automobile hard plastic instrument panel is prepared, the chopped flat fiberglass is added, so that the surface hardness of the polypropylene composite material is increased, good scratch resistant effects are achieved without adding any scratch resistant agent, and a matte effect is also achieved; the polypropylene composite material also has the characteristics of high flowability, high rigidity, high heat resistance, high dimensional stability, high impact resistance, low glossiness and scratch resistance, and requirements on a material for the automobile hard plastic instrument panel are completely met.
