Abstract A magnetic recording medium composed of an oriented polyethylene terephthalate film as a support layer and a thin magnetic metallic layer formed on one surface (A) of the support layer and optionally a lubricant layer formed on the other surface (B) of the support layer; characterized in that (1) the surface A has a center-line average (CLA) of not more than 0.005 µm, (2) the surface A has a peak-to-valley (PV) value of not more than 0.06 µm, (3) the number of protrusions having a height of 0.27 to 0.54 µm on the surface A is at most 0.2 per mm 2 , and (4) the surface A is substantially free from protrusions having a height larger than 0.54 µm.

A magnetic recording medium composed of an oriented polyethylene terephthalate film as a support layer and a thin magnetic metallic layer formed on one surface (A) of the support layer and optionally a lubricant layer formed on the other surface (B) of the support layer; characterized in that (1) the surface A has a center-line average (CLA) of not more than 0.005 pm, (2) the surface A has a peak-to-valley (PV) value of not more than 0.06 µm, (3) the number of protrusions having a height of 0.27 to 0.54 µm on the surface A is at most 0.2 per mm , and (4) the surface A is substantially free from protrusions having a height larger than 0.54 pm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The magnetic recording medium of claim 1 wherein the surface A has a center-line average (CLA) of not more than 0.004 µm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The magnetic recording medium of claim 1 wherein the surface A is substantially free from protrusions having a height larger than 0.27 µm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
101 words
The magnetic recording medium of claim 1 wherein the oriented polyethylene terephthalate film as the support layer is produced by subjecting a lower alkyl ester of a dicarboxylic acid comprising terephthalic acid as a main component and a glycol comprising ethylene glycol as a main component to an ester-interchange reaction in the presence of, as a catalyst, a compound of at least one metal selected from Mn, Zn, Ca and Mg using a glycol solution of a trialkyl phosphate as a stabilizer, polycondensing the ester-interchange reaction product, extruding the resultant polyethylene terephthalate, stretching the resulting film, and heat-setting the stretched film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The magnetic recording medium of claim 1 wherein the thin magnetic metal layer is formed by vacuum evaporation, sputtering, ion plating or electroless plating, and has a thickness of 0.02 to 1.5 µm.
