Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium is described, comprising a non-magnetic support having a surface roughness of 0.02 μm or less, a magnetic layer on the surface of the support and a backing layer on a surface of the support opposite to the surface on which the magnetic layer is formed, wherein the backing layer is formed by exposing to radiation a layer comprising (A) non-magnetic particles and (B) a radiation polymerizable compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support with opposing surfaces carrying a magnetic layer and backing layer both having a surface roughness of 0.02 μm or less, the magneti layer on one surface of the support, and the backing layer being on the surface of the support opposite to the surface on which the magnetic layer is formed, wherein the backing layer is formed by exposing to radiation a layer comprising (A) non-magnetic particles having an average particle size of 0.8 μm or less and (B) a binder comprising a radiation exposed radiation polymerizable compound wherein the weight ratio of non-magnetic particles to the binder is from 4/1 to 0.01/1 and wherein the radiaton polymerizable compound is used in an amount of 20 wt % or more based on the total weight of the binder wherein said magnetic layer is coated on the non-magnetic support and, dried, and then subjected to surface smoothin by calendering, whereafter the backing layer is coated and then the resulting assembly is subjected to said exposing the radiation to thereby obtain said magnetic recording medium.
