Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a durable magnetic recording medium having an excellent characteristic, by providing a magnetic layer composed of nodular alpha-iron oxide, fatty acid ester, and fatty acid contained therein. CONSTITUTION:Since a spherical particle has a smaller surface area per particle and excellent fluidity as a particle and the packed condition of the particles easily approaches to the packing of the highest density, their apparent volume is smaller and liquid absorbing quantity is extremely small when compared with particles having shapes other than spherical one. Moreover, by using spherical alpha-iron oxide, fatty acid ester, and fatty acid jointly, durability can be improved sharply when compared with a case where they are independently used. The reason why the fatty acid is jointly used is not only for improving the durability by improving the lubricating property of the magnetic layer, but also for utilizing the dispersing force of the fatty acid to magnetic powder. That is, since the fatty acid is absorbed into the surface of magnetic powder and well dispersed into the magnetic coating material, an excellent surface smoothness can be obtained with the applied magnetic coated film.

Conventional Structure and Problems Magnetic recording media are usually made by coating a magnetic paint on a support such as a polyester film. Since magnetic recording media are used in sliding contact with magnetic heads, they are required to have a high surface J abrasion resistance. For this reason, a method is known in which magnetic fine particles are mixed into the magnetic layer as a coating film strengthening agent. However, conventional hard fine particles often have a granular or cubic shape, are bulky, and absorb a large amount of liquid.

Therefore, the contamination of such bulky hard particles tends to reduce the surface smoothness of the magnetic layer, make the magnetic layer hard and brittle, and impair its adhesion to the base film. There were many restrictions on the amount, and there were limits to the strength of the coating.

Description of Examples Conventionally, α-iron oxide, which is used as a coating film strengthening agent to increase the abrasion resistance of coating films, is produced by wet-processing a suspension of ferrous oxide in particle form by introducing air or an oxidizing agent. It is obtained by taking out the cubic magnetite produced by oxidation and heating it to red heat in the presence of oxygen. On the other hand, α exhibits a spherical shape
Iron oxide can be obtained by subjecting ferrous hydroxide to wet oxidation using special conditions such as reaction temperature and pH for 1 hour in the above process. The main idea is to introduce the reinforcing agent together with fatty acid ester and fatty acid as lubricants. It is natural that a polyhedron close to a sphere exhibits behavior similar to that of a sphere.
Hereinafter, such a polyhedron will be expressed as spherical.

利点がある。
Compared to other shapes of particles with similar particle sizes, spherical particles have a smaller surface area per particle, have better fluidity as particles, and are more likely to be close-packed, resulting in smaller apparent bulk and better absorption. It also has the advantage that the amount of liquid is extremely small. Therefore, it has the advantage of being extremely easy to disperse even when mixed into magnetic paint.

The average particle size of the spherical alpha iron oxide used in the present invention is 0.3 to 1.
About 58 parts is preferable. If the particle size is too small, the particle size will be similar to that of magnetic powder, so the effect of strengthening the coating will be diminished, while if the particle size is too large, the surface smoothness may be adversely affected. The amount of spherical alpha iron oxide mixed into the magnetic layer is 0.
5 to 6% by weight is preferred. This is because if the amount added is too small, the effect of strengthening the coating film will be small, and if the amount added is too large, it may adversely affect the brittleness and surface smoothness of the magnetic layer or cause excessive wear on the head. .

That is, the fatty acid is adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic powder and dispersed well in the magnetic coating material, so that the applied magnetic coating film also has excellent surface smoothness.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is characterized in that spherical α-iron oxide is added as a coating film strengthening agent, and fatty acid ester and fatty acid are further added as lubricants to the magnetic coating film. As mentioned above, compared to the conventionally used non-magnetic inorganic powder for reinforcing coatings that has a granular or cubic particle shape, even if the average particle size is the same, the amount of liquid absorbed is smaller, so it is less likely to be mixed into the magnetic layer. However, a magnetic coating film is formed that absorbs little binder and has excellent density, surface smoothness, and adhesion to the substrate. moreover,
The fatty acid ester and fatty acid used in combination not only significantly improve the lubricity of the magnetic coating, but also improve the dispersibility of the magnetic powder mainly due to the fatty acid.
