Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic recording disk or a magnetic recording tape comprising a nonmagnetic support and a magnetic recording layer provided on said support, said magnetic recording layer comprising a nonmagnetic inorganic powder and a ferromagnetic metal powder of a specific surface area in the range of 35-65 m 2 /g dispersed in a binder, which is characterized in that said magnetic recording layer contains an alkyl ester of a fatty acid and an alkoxyalkyl ester of a fatty acid in amounts in the ranges of 5-15 wt. % and 0.5-10 wt. %, respectively, based on the amount of the ferromagnetic metal powder.
