Abstract
Abstract A process of producing a magnetic recording element comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a subbing layer and further having provided thereon a magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder and a binder, in which the non-magnetic support is a biaxially stretched polyester and the subbing layer is formed by coating a coating solution having a solids concentration of about 0.8 to about 5 wt% comprising an amorphous linear saturated polyester resin containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, 10 to 50 wt% of a vinylidene chloride addition polymerizable nitrile copolymer based on the polyester resin and an organic solvent mainly composed of methyl ethyl ketone, which comprises coating the subbing solution at a temperature of about 100° C. or below to provide a dry thickness of about 0.03 to about 2.0 μm, drying the coated layer and then coating the magnetic recording layer thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A process of producing a magnetic recording element comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a subbing layer and further provided thereon a magnetic layer comprising ferromagnetic powders and a binder, which comprises coating a subbing solution at a temperature of 100° C. or below in a dry thickness of about 0.03 to about 2.0 μm, drying the coated layer and then coating the magnetic recording layer thereon, said non-magnetic support being a biaxially stretched polyester, and said subbing solution having a solids concentration of about 0.8 to 5 wt% and comprising (a) an amorphous linear saturated polyester resin prepared from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and a glycol in a molar ratio of aromatic dicarboxylic acid to glycol of 1:2 to 1:3, (b) a vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymer or a vinylidene chloride-methacrylonitrile copolymer, each having a nitrogen content of about 1 to 6%, said copolymer being present in an amount of about 10 to about 50 wt % to said polyester resin, and (c) an organic solvent mainly composed of about 50 to about 100% by weight methyl ethyl ketone based on the total weight of organic solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A process of producing a magnetic recording element comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon a subbing layer and further provided thereon a magnetic layer comprising ferromagnetic powders and a binder, which comprises coating a subbing solution at a temperature of 100° C. or below in a dry thickness of about 0.03 to about 2.0 μm, drying the coated layer and then coating the magnetic recording layer thereon, said non-magnetic support being a biaxially stretched polyester, and said subbing solution having a solids concentration of about 0.8 to 5 wt% and comprising (a) an amorphous linear saturated polyester resin prepared from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and a glycol in a molar ratio of aromatic dicarboxylic acid to glycol of 1:2 to 1:3, (b) a vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymer or a vinylidene chloride-methacrylonitrile copolymer, each having a nitrogen content of about 1 to 6%, said copolymer being present in an amount of about 10 to about 50 wt % to said polyester resin, and (c) an organic solvent mainly composed of about 50 to about 100% by weight methyl ethyl ketone based on the total weight of organic solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said subbing solution consists essentially of said polyester, said vinylidene chloride copolymer and said solvent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said organic solvent includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of ketone type solvents other than methyl ethyl ketone, ester type solvents, ether or glycol ether type solvents and tar type solvents in an amount of up to about 50 wt% of said organic solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dry thickness is 0.2 to 1.5 μm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein an amount of about 5 mole % or less of said aromatic dicarboxylic acid is replaced by other dicarboxylic acids having less than 13 carbon atoms and selected from the group consisting of aliphatic saturated dicarboxylic acids, aliphatic unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and oxydicarboxylic acids.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said aromatic dicarboxylic acid has from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, and said glycol has about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said coating of the subbing layer is under drying conditions of (i) a temperature of less than about 100° C., (ii) an air flow of about 1 to about 5 kl/m 2 /sec, and (iii) for a period of about 2 to about 10 seconds.
