With the recent rapid increase in the storage capacity of magnetic recording media, the magnetic layer is required to have better mechanical performance than ever before and to reduce information destruction (hereinafter referred to as soft errors). There is. Among magnetic disks such as floppy disks, the magnetic layer slides against the magnetic head at high speed and with high pad pressure, or the liner in the jacket and part of the lid slide violently, causing scratches on the coating. , it adheres to the surface or magnetic head and causes dropouts. This tendency is particularly noticeable in barium ferrite floppy disks and metal floppy disks with a maximum linear recording density of 35 kfci or more.

In particular, lubricants have relatively large effects, and higher fatty acids, higher fatty acid esters, liquid paraffin, squalane, fluorine-based compounds, silicone-based compounds, and the like have traditionally been used. However, to satisfy the durability and reliability of small-sized, large-capacity magnetic recording media such as barium ferrite floppy disks and metal floppy disks, the above-mentioned conventional lubricants are not sufficient, and soft errors occur especially in low-temperature environments. This is likely to occur and countermeasures are required.
