Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium is disclosed. The medium is comprised of a non-magnetic support base having a surface with a center line average loughness (Ra) of not more then 0.035 μm, having coated thereon a magnetic layer. The magnetic layer is comprised of a ferromagnetic powder, a fatty acid ester and two types of carbon black dispersed in a binder. The first type of carbon black has an average primary particles sizes of 10 to 30 mμ. The second type of carbon black has an average primary particle size of 60 to 120 mμ. The first type of carbon black and second type of carbon black are present in a mixing weight ratio in the range of 60/40 to 95/5. The magnetic recording medium has excellent electromagnetic properties and provides a tape having good running property and durability.
