The invention relates to a polypropylene material and a preparation method thereof, especially to a polypropylene micro-foamed material with high surface quality and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of high-molecular materials. The polypropylene micro-foamed material comprises the following raw materials by weight: 50 to 80 parts of polypropylene, 10 to 40 parts of inorganic powder, 3 to 10 parts of a micro-foaming adjusting auxiliary agent, 0.5 to 5 parts of a foaming agent and 0.2 to 2 parts of an anti-oxidant. Through the micro-foaming adjusting auxiliary agent, surface quality of the polypropylene micro-foamed material is substantially improved, the severe surface quality problems like surface scratches and gas marks on a polypropylene micro-foamed product in the process of injection molding are overcome, and the polypropylene micro-foamed material with excellent performance and high surface quality is obtained. The prepared polypropylene micro-foamed material is applicable to skinned and fabric-covered automobile components and to interior and exterior trimming parts for an automobile in a visual environment, e.g., door trim panels, guard boards of columns, hallstands, instrument desks, air-conditioner shells, guard boards for side skirts, scuff plates, thereby realizing lightweighting of materials for automobile parts; and the material is also applicable to other fields like architecture, electronics and shipbuilding.
