Abstract

Abstract A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic support, a magnetic recording layer formed on one side of the support, and a back coat layer formed on the other side. The back coat layer is made of a dispersion, in a binder resin, of non-magnetic particles on which there is adsorbed carbon black having an average size not larger than 100 millimicrons and a specific surface area not less than 30 m 2 /g.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 94 words
In a magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic support, a magnetic recording layer formed on one side of the support, and a back coat layer formed on the other side of the support, the improvement in that said back coat layer is made of a dispersion, in a resin binder, of non-magnetic particles which have a Mohs hardness of from 2.5 to 10 and which have adsorbed thereon carbon black having an average particle size not larger than 100 millimicrometers and a specific surface area of not less than 30 m 2 /g.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 94 words
