Abstract
Abstract An improved magnetic tape having the property of retaining magnetic data even when spooled and subjected to high temperature environments. This thermal resistance is suitably achieved by providing a backing coating which contacts the magnetic-particle-bearing facing coating of the tape and is chemically incompatible therewith. Pairs of chemically-incompatible coatings include polyester polyurethane-polyether-polyurethane; polyfluorinated hydrocarbons-polyurethane. A conductive furnace carbon black is advantageously used in the backing coating, and the substrate is, suitably, temperature-resistant polyimide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
In a magnetic recording apparatus of the type wherein a reeled magnetic tape is enclosed in a sealed, protective container, the improvement wherein said tape is a magnetic tape comprising a substrate formed of a synthetic organic resin, a first magnetic pigment containing coating on one side of said substrate and a second non-magnetic conductive pigment containing coating on the other side of said substrate wherein one of said coatings has a polyester polyurethane resin matrix and the other of said coatings has a polyether polyurethane resin matrix.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
In a magnetic recording apparatus of the type wherein a reeled magnetic tape is enclosed in a sealed, protective container, the improvement wherein said tape is a magnetic tape comprising a substrate formed of a synthetic organic resin, a first magnetic pigment containing coating on one side of said substrate and a second non-magnetic conductive pigment containing coating on the other side of said substrate wherein one of said coatings has a polyester polyurethane resin matrix and the other of said coatings has a polyether polyurethane resin matrix.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said resins are crosslinked by a polyfunctional cross-linking agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
In a magnetic recording apparatus of the type wherein a reeled magnetic tape is enclosed in a sealed, protective container, the improvement wherein 1. said tape has a polymeric coating on each face thereof and each of said coatings has a different synthetic polymer matrix for the pigment contained therein, and said different synthetic polymers are chemically incompatible with each other, and 2. the non-magnetic conductive pigment is a conductive carbon black.
