Abstract

Abstract A magnetic recording medium is disclosed, comprising a non-magnetic support having provided on one side thereof a magnetic recording layer comprising a binder having dispersed therein fine ferromagnetic particles and on the other side thereof a backing layer, wherein at least one of said magnetic layer and backing layer contains (1) a vinyl chloride resin having --SO 3 M (wherein M is Li, Na, or K) groups and epoxy groups, and (2) polyurethane as binders. The medium has reduced output variation and improved running durability.
