Abstract
Abstract Magnetic recording medium using water as dispersion medium. The magnetic layer comprises as binder an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane having functional groups capable of salt formation and a magnetic pigment. The volumetric ratio of magnetic pigment to polyurethane in terms of solids content is in the range of 0.7:1 to 1.4:1.
