Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording media comprises a polyester substrate having 1000/mm2 or more protrusions of polyester oligomer, and a ferromagnetic thin film of 400 ANGSTROM or larger thickness both formed on the surface of the polyester substrate; the recording media has substantially no squealing even at 30 DEG C. at over 80% relative humidity.
