Abstract

Abstract Improvement in a process for the preparation of a magnetic recording medium which comprises the steps of applying a magnetic paint onto a surface of a nonmagnetic support to form a coated paint layer, said magnetic paint comprising magnetic recording layer-forming components including a ferromagnetic powder, an abrasive and a resin component dispersed in an organic solvent, and then subjecting the coated layer to magnetic orientation, in which a step of drawing the ferromagnetic powder in the coated magnetic paint toward the surface of the support by means of a magnet is arranged in advance of the orientation step.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
In a process for the preparation of a magnetic recording tape which comprises the steps of applying a magnetic paint onto a surface of a running nonmagnetic support to form a coated paint layer, said magnetic paint comprising magnetic recording layer-forming components including a ferromagnetic powder, an abrasive and a resin component dispersed in an organic solvent, and then subjecting the coated layer on a running non-magnetic support to magnetic orientation for orienting the magnetic powder in the coated paint layer along the running direction, the improvement wherein a step of drawing said ferromagnetic powder in the coated magnetic paint layer toward the surface of the support by means of a magnet having a magnetic flux density of not less than 1,500 gauss is performed prior to subjecting the coated paint layer to the magnetic orientation along the running direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
In a process for the preparation of a magnetic recording tape which comprises the steps of applying a magnetic paint onto a surface of a running nonmagnetic support to form a coated paint layer, said magnetic paint comprising magnetic recording layer-forming components including a ferromagnetic powder, an abrasive and a resin component dispersed in an organic solvent, and then subjecting the coated layer on a running non-magnetic support to magnetic orientation for orienting the magnetic powder in the coated paint layer along the running direction, the improvement wherein a step of drawing said ferromagnetic powder in the coated magnetic paint layer toward the surface of the support by means of a magnet having a magnetic flux density of not less than 1,500 gauss is performed prior to subjecting the coated paint layer to the magnetic orientation along the running direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 70 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ferromagnetic powder contained in the coated paint layer is drawn by means of a magnet which is placed in the vicinity of the nonmagnetic support on the back side free from the coated paint layer in the course of running the paint-coated support, keeping the back surface of the support essentially in contact with north or south pole of said magnet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
The process as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein said ferromagnetic powder is drawn in a magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of not less than 2,000 gauss.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said abrasive is contained in the magnetic paint in an amount of not more than 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the ferromagnetic powder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 51 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said abrasive is an inorganic powder made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of SiO 2 , TiO, TiO 2 , α-Al 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , Cr 2 O 3 and α-Fe 2 O 3 .
