Abstract

Abstract A magnetic recording medium characterized by a magnetic layer comprising (A) magnetic fine particles of plate-like hexagonal ferrite having a particle size of 0.3 microns or less and an easily magnetizable axis in the direction vertical to the flat plate surface (B) a polyurethane resin having a metal sulfonate group and (C) one or more esters of C 10 -C 18 fatty acids with alcohols having not more than 15 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
A magnetic recording medium which comprises applying a magnetic layer containing (A) magnetic fine particles of plate-like hexagonal ferrite having a particle size of 0.3 μm or less and an easy axis for magnetization in the direction vertical to the flat plate surface, (B) a polyurethane resin having a metal sulfonate group of 20 to 500 equivalents/10 6 g of the polymer and (C) one or more members selected from the esters of C 10 -C 18 fatty acids with alcohols having not more than 15 carbon atoms, the ratio of (C) to (A) being 0.1 to 20 wt. %, to a non-magnetic substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 104 words
A magnetic recording medium which comprises applying a magnetic layer containing (A) magnetic fine particles of plate-like hexagonal ferrite having a particle size of 0.3 μm or less and an easy axis for magnetization in the direction vertical to the flat plate surface, (B) a polyurethane resin having a metal sulfonate group of 20 to 500 equivalents/10 6 g of the polymer and (C) one or more members selected from the esters of C 10 -C 18 fatty acids with alcohols having not more than 15 carbon atoms, the ratio of (C) to (A) being 0.1 to 20 wt. %, to a non-magnetic substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A magnetic recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein the magnetic layer contains (C) and (A) in a (C):(A) weight ratio of from 1.0 to 7.0 wt. %.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 46 words
A magnetic recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein the magnetic layer contains non-magnetic fine particles having a Mohs' hardness of 6 or more and a particle size of 1.0 μm or less in a weight ratio to (A) of 2 to 20 wt. %.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
A magnetic recording medium as claimed in claim 1, wherein said magnetic recording medium is a flexible and disc-like one.
