Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium comprising a support and provided thereon a magnetic layer containing magnetic powder and a copolymer capable of being soluble in water by 10 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of water. Further, a process of preparing a magnetic recording medium wherein magnetic powder is treated with a copolymer capable of dissolving 10 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of water in an aqueous medium under presence of a metal ion and a magnetic paint containing this treated magnetic powder is coated on base to form a magnetic layer is also provided. Further a process of preparing a magnetic recording medium wherein magnetic powder emulsion that has been pretreated for a higher coercive force is filtered to separate unnecessary materials from magnetic powder and said magnetic powder is surface treated in an aqueous medium with a copolymer capable dissolving 10 parts by weight or more per 100 parts by weight of water, and a magnetic paint comprising this surface treated magnetic powder is coated on base to form a magnetic layer.
