[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As information processing systems have become more sophisticated in recent years, magnetic recording has become more dense and digitalized. There is a need for the development of a system in which the magnetic head is driven at high speed and brought into sliding contact with the magnetic head at a relative speed of 20 m/sec or more.

However, when it comes to such high-speed sliding systems, the magnetic recording media used in conventional general low-speed sliding systems (normal sliding speeds of about 1 to 10 m/sec) do not have satisfactory durability. It was found that the lubrication mechanism itself on the surface of the magnetic layer needed to be reconsidered from a different perspective than before.

[Means for Solving the Problems] For the above purpose, the inventors first investigated the lubrication mechanism of a magnetic recording medium from the viewpoint of tribology. That is, according to tribology, if (viscosity of lubricant) x (sliding speed) / (load) = A,
It is said that the smaller the value of A, the better the boundary lubrication, and conversely, the larger the value of A, the better the fluid lubrication.As mentioned above, the lubrication mechanism between the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head, which are in contact at a high sliding speed of 20 m/s, is is considered to be closer to the hydrodynamic lubrication region because the numerical value of the numerator on the left side of the above equation becomes larger. Furthermore, in the region of fluid lubrication, if the value of A increases, the coefficient of friction increases, so it is thought that a lubricant with low viscosity and low surface tension is preferable.
