Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium improved in the magnetic recording characteristics, running properties and durability is disclosed. The magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic support having on a side of the support an upper magnetic layer positioned farther from the support and a lower magnetic layer positioned closer to the support. The upper magnetic layer comprises a binder, a magnetic powder having an original BET specific surface area of not less than than 30 m 2 /g and at least one abrasive selected from alumina, silicon carbide, Cr 2 O 3 , silica, α-Fe 2 O 3 , TiO 2 and zilconia in a portion of 3 to 20 parts per 100 parts by weight of the magnetic powder, and the lower magnetic layer comprises a binder and a magnetic powder having an original BET specific surface area of less than 30 m 2 /g, and kinds of the binders each contained in the upper magnetic layer and the lower magnetic layer are the same.
