Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a magnetic storage medium consisting of a non-magnetic layer support and, applied thereto, a binder-containing magnetic layer, the binder consisting of from 25 to 100% of a thermoplastic polyurethane substantially free from reactive terminal groups obtained by reacting a linear polyester of at least one dicarboxylic acid containing from 2 to 8 carbon atoms and/or hydroxy carboxylic acid containing from 4 to 6 carbon atoms and at least one glycol containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, the polyester having a molecular weight of from 1200 to 6000, at least one diisocyanate and a mixture of at least two glycols containing from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, the molar fraction of the individual components not exceeding 0.8. The polyurethane has a hardness of from 80 to 100 Shore A, a tensile strength of from 30 to 75 MPa and a breaking elongation of from 320 to 520%.
