Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A magnetic recording medium which is used at a high tape speed of 2 to 10 m/sec, comprising a non-magnetic base, a magnetic recording layer on a first side of said base and a lubricant layer on a second side of said base, wherein said magnetic recording layer comprises magnetic particles dispersed in a binder, and wherein said lubricant layer has a thickness of 2.5 to 5 μm and a surface roughness (Ra) of 0.33 to 0.72 μm, and comprises a lubricant provided in a binder, wherein the binder is a synthetic resin binder in an amount of 30 to 300 parts by weight based on 300 parts of lubricant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A magnetic recording medium which is used at a high tape speed of 2 to 10 m/sec, comprising a non-magnetic base, a magnetic recording layer on a first side of said base and a lubricant layer on a second side of said base, wherein said magnetic recording layer comprises magnetic particles dispersed in a binder, and wherein said lubricant layer has a thickness of 2.5 to 5 μm and a surface roughness (Ra) of 0.33 to 0.72 μm, and comprises a lubricant provided in a binder, wherein the binder is a synthetic resin binder in an amount of 30 to 300 parts by weight based on 300 parts of lubricant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
