The invention discloses a water-based lamination adhesive for furniture. The water-based lamination adhesive is prepared from components in parts by weight as follows: 40-50 parts of triethyl citrate, 2-10 parts of an acrylate compound, 10-15 parts of a functional aid, 0.1-0.3 parts of a buffering agent, 2-10 parts of an emulsifier, 0.5-4 parts of an initiator, 15-30 parts of deionized water, 0.1-1.5 parts of an oxidizing agent and 0.1-1.5 parts of a reducing agent. With the addition of the functional aid, content of each raw material component is effectively adjusted, meanwhile, the emulsion is a self-crosslinking type, macromolecules of the emulsion are automatically cross-linked during compounding, and peel strength is high; the water-based lamination adhesive belongs to water-based glue, is environmentally friendly, solvent-free, non-flammable, non-explosive, safe to use, low in adhesive application quantity and low in use cost.
