Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium which comprises a support and a magnetic layer formed on the support which is comprised of a magnetic powder dispersed in a binder and containing a lubricant. The lubricant contains at least as ester of a linear aliphatic acid having 14-18 carbon atoms and an alcohol of the general formula, (CH 3 ) 2 CH--(CH 2 ) n --OH in which n is an integer of from 1 to 5. Preferably, an ester of a linear aliphatic acid having 14-18 carbon atoms and an alcohol of the formula, CH 3 --(CH 2 ) m --CH 2 OH, in which m is an integer of from 2 to 4 is contained.
