Claims
- 1. A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support having provided thereon, a magnetic layer containing a first binder, chromium oxide having an average particle size of 0.3 to 0.5 microns, and a metal magnetic powder comprising iron and aluminum, wherein said first binder comprises:
- (1) a polyurethane resin having a polar group selected from the group consisting of SO.sub.3 M, OSO.sub.3 M, COOM, PO(OM).sub.2, and OPO(OM).sub.2, wherein M represents hydrogen or an alkali metal; and
- (2) a polyvinyl chloride resin having an epoxy group and a polar group selected from the group consisting of SO.sub.3 M, OSO.sub.3 M, COOM, PO(OM).sub.2, and OPO(OM).sub.2, wherein M represents hydrogen or an alkali metal.
- 2. The medium of claim 1, wherein the chromium oxide content of the magnetic layer is not more than 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said metal magnetic powder.
- 3. The medium of claim 1, wherein the chromium oxide content of the magnetic layer is 10 to 13 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the metal magnetic powder.
- 4. The medium of claim 1, wherein the magnetic layer further contains a second binder and the chromium oxide having an average particle size within the range of 0.3 to 0.5 .mu.m is dispersed in the second binder.
- 5. The medium of claim 4, wherein the second binder is a polyurethane resin having a polar group selected from the group consisting of --SO.sub.3 M, --OSO.sub.3 M, --COOM, --PO(OM).sub.2, and --OPO(OM).sub.2 wherein M represents a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal.
- 6. The medium of claim 1, wherein the magnetic powder has a specific surface area having BET value of not less than 40 m.sup.2 /g.
- 7. The medium of claim 1, wherein a repeating unit having the polar group is contained in an amount within the range of 0.01 to 5 mol % in the polyurethane resin.
- 8. The medium of claim 1, wherein a weight ratio of the polyvinyl chloride resin to the polyurethane resin is within the range of 80 to 20 through 20 to 80.
- 9. A process for manufacturing a magnetic recording medium comprising a support, a magnetic layer on said support and containing a first binder, a second binder, chromium oxide having an average particle size of 0.3 to 0.5 microns, and a metal magnetic powder, said process comprising;
- (a) forming a first dispersion by dispersing said metal magnetic powder in said first binder, said first binder comprising;
- (1) a polyurethane resin having a polar group selected from the group consisting of SO.sub.3 M, OSO.sub.3 M, COOM, PO(OM).sub.2, and OPO(OM).sub.2, wherein M is hydrogen or an alkali metal, and
- (2) a polyvinyl chloride resin having an epoxy group and a polar group selected from the group consisting of SO.sub.3 M, OSO.sub.3 M, COOM, PO(OM).sub.2, and OPO(OM).sub.2, wherein M represents hydrogen or an alkali metal;
- (b) dispersing said chromium oxide in said second binder to prepare a second dispersion;
- (c) adding said second dispersion to said first dispersion to form a magnetic coating composition; and
- (d) coating said magnetic coating composition on said support.
- 10. The process of claim 9, wherein the metal magnetic powder comprises iron and aluminum.
