Abstract
A magnetic recording medium is described comprising a magnetic layer on one surface of a non-magnetic base and a back coating on the other surface of the base, said back coating being not more than 2.mu. thick and which contains an inorganic powder and a binder, said inorganic powder consisting of fine particles of an average size of from 0.01 to 0.1.mu. and coarse particles of an average size of from 0.1 to 0.8.mu..
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a magnetic recording medium, and more particularly, to a magnetic tape that has high S/N ratio (signal to noise ratio), low friction coefficient, high running durability, and which is resistant to bending of edges and to scraping of back coating.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Audio, video and computer magnetic recording tapes have a magnetic recording layer with its surface made highly smooth to provide improved sensitivity (particularly, high output in the high-frequency range). The transport properties of these tapes are adversely affected and their output varies due to variations in tension and other factors. Tap deformation or damage also occurs easily. To eliminate these defects, a magnetic recording tape has been proposed that has a back coating formed on a base on the other side of the magnetic recording layer. However, it frequently occurs that the conventional back coating is scraped, has an increased friction coefficient, or develops bends at the edges, and these defects are conspicuous when a thin base having good surface properties is used to make a magnetic tape whose total thickness is less than 20.mu.. Thus, the conventional back coating requires further improvements in quality.
When a magnetic recording (especially in a tape form) with a back coating formed to provide improved transport properties and durability is wound into a roll (tape form) or stacked in sheets, the pattern of unevenness of the surface of the back coating is transferred onto the surface of the magnetic recording layer to impair its surface characteristics, and hence the electromagnetic properties, especially the S/N characteristics, of the magnetic recording medium are deteriorated. To provide the back coating with good transport properties, which is regarded as one of the most important features of the back coating, the coating is often treated to provide a rough surface, and if the resulting magnetic medium is stored in the form of a tape roll or stacked in sheets, the unevenness of the surface of the back coating is transferred onto the surface of the magnetic layer, and this is a major cause of reduction in the S/N characteristics of the magnetic recording medium.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefor, one object of this invention is to provide a highly durable magnetic recording medium that uses a non-magnetic base having good surface characteristics and which is capable of forming a magnetic tape in a total thickness of less than 20.mu. that is free from the increase of friction coefficient, the scraping of the back coating and bending of the tape edges.
Another object of this invention is to provide a magnetic recording medium having a back coating having good surface characteristics, including a center line average roughness (Ra) of not more than 0.024.mu. (cutoff value=0.08 mm), without any adverse effect on the S/N characteristics of the magnetic medium.
A further object of this invention is to provide a highly durable magnetic recording medium the friction coefficient of which is not increased during service.
These objects of this invention can be achieved by a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer on the surface of a non-magnetic base and a back coating on the other surface of the base, said back coating being not more than 2.mu. thick and comprising an inorganic powder and a binder, said inorganic powder consisting essentially of fine particles of an average size of from 0.01 to 0.1.mu. and coarse particles of an average size of from 0.1 to 0.8.mu., provided that the two types of particles have different average sizes.
The magnetic recording medium of this invention differs from conventional mediums in that it uses a more smooth base with good surface properties, has a thin back coating of not more than 2.mu. which contains particles projecting to a height of not more than 0.8.mu. and whose surface roughness is not more than 0.024.mu. (cutoff value=0.08 mm) in terms of center line average roughness (Ra). Another feature of this invention is that the back coating has low friction coefficient (not more than 0.24.mu.).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The back coating contains particles of inorganic powder to modify its surface roughness and electrical resistance characteristics.
The fine particles that are one component of the inorganic powder used in this invention have an average size of from 0.01 to 0.1.mu., preferably from 0.03 to 0.08.mu., and particularly preferably from 0.06 to 0.08.mu.. The coarse particles that are the other component of the inorganic powder have an average size of from 0.1 to 0.8.mu., preferably from 0.2 to 0.6.mu., and particularly preferably from 0.3 to 0.4.mu.. The term "size" herein means the largest cross-sectional dimension. These particles project from the surface of the back coating to a height of not more than 0.8.mu., preferably not more than 0.4.mu., and particularly preferably not more than 0.2.mu.. The coarse particles are mixed with the fine particles in a coarse/fine volume ratio which is preferably 1/10 or less, particularly preferably 1/20 or less, and most preferably from 1/1,000 to 1/50.

A small amount of other particulate material may be used therewith for lublication and other purposes, and examples include carbon black powder, graphite, tungsten disulfide, and boron nitride. The fine particles may be made of a material which is the same as or different from the material of the coarse particles. Preferably the two particles are made of different materials. In view of an average size of particles which are readily available, the coarse particles are preferably made of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, MgO, ZnO or CaO, particularly preferably Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and the fine particles are preferably made of SiO.sub.2, CaCO.sub.3 or TiO.sub.2, most preferably CaCO.sub.3.
The binder used in this invention may be made of a known type such as thermoplastic resin, thermosetting resin or reactive resin, or mixtures thereof. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl chloride/vinylidene chloride copolymer, vinyl chloride/acrylonitrile copolymer, acrylic ester/acrylonitrile copolymer, acrylic ester/vinylidene chloride copolymer, acrylic ester/styrene copolymer, methacrylic ester/acrylonitrile copolymer, methacrylic ester/vinylidene chloride copolymer, methacrylic ester/styrene copolymer, urethane elastomer, polyvinyl fluoride, vinylidene chloride/acrylonitrile copolymer, butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer, polyamide resin, polyvinyl butyral, cellulosic resin (e.g., cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose propionate, and nitrocellulose), styrene/butadiene copolymer, polyester resin, chlorovinyl ether/acrylic ester copolymer, amino resin and various rubber resins. Examples of the thermosetting or reactive resin are phenolic resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane hardening resin, urea resin, melamine resin, alkyd resin, acrylic reactive resin, polyisocyanate, and polyamine.
A preferred binder combination is a cellulosic resin, a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, a saturated polyester resin, and a polyisocyanate.
A suitable example of the cellulosic resin used in the preferred embodiment is a cellulose derivative such as nitrocellulose and cellulose derivatives which are effective in providing high heat resistance, toughness and blocking resistance.
Commercially available thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers can be used, such as polyester polyurethane resins produced by first reacting organic dibasic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, adipic acid, dimerized linoleic acid, and maleic acid) with glycols (e.g., ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol and diethylene glycol) or polyhydric alcohols (e.g., trimethylolpropane, hexanetriol, glycerin, trimethylolethane and pentaerythritol) and treating the resulting polyester polyols with polyisocyanate compounds (e.g., tolylenediisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethanediisocyanate, hexamethylenediisocyanate and metaxylylenediisocyanate), polyether polyurethane resins, and compounds which have the ring ##STR1## in the molecule represented by formula (I):
--O--R--OOC--R'--CO).sub.m OROOCNH--R"--NHCO-- (I)
wherein m is an integer of 5 to 100, R is a divalent group that is introduced by an alicyclic or aromatic compound having at least two hydroxyalkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or at least two hydroxyalkoxyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R' is ##STR2## or --CH.sub.2).sub.n wherein n is an integer of 4 to 6. These thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers are particularly effective when they have a molecular weight of 5,000 to 500,000, preferably 10,000 to 200,000. For details of these polyurethane elastomers, see Japanese Patent Application No. 26880/79.
Examples of the saturated polyester resin include polycondensates of dibasic acids and divalent alcohols, and those produced by first depolymerizing polyethylene terephthalates and polymerizing the resulting product together with an additional diol component. Commercially available saturated polyester resins include Viron #200, #290, #300, and #500 of Toyobo Co., Ltd., as well as Stafix P-LB of Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
Examples of the polyisocyanate are 2,4-tolylenediisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and triisocyanate (e.g., "Collonate L" of Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd.).
The composition of the binder used in this preferred embodiment is preferably from 20 to 80% by weight (more preferably from 30 to 60% by weight) cellulosic resin, from 20 to 60% by weight (more preferably from 30 to 50% by weight) thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, from 1 to 20% by weight (more preferably from 1 to 10% by weight) saturated polyester resin, and from 10 to 50% by weight (more preferably from 20 to 40% by weight) polyisocyanate based on the total weight of the binder.
The weight ratio of the inorganic powder to the binder used in the back coating of this invention is preferably from 2.5/1 to 0.1/1, and most preferably from 1.5/1 to 0.8/1. The back coating of this invention is selected so that the total thickness of the resulting magnetic recording medium (magnetic layer+base+back coating layer) is as thin as possible, to provide higher recording density for a given volume. To achieve this purpose, the back coating preferably has a thickness of from 0.3 to 2.mu., and particularly preferably from 0.5 to 1.mu..
According to this invention, a magnetic recording medium having the characteristics described above is produced. A thin back coating prepared by the conventional technique breaks or is scrapted as the recording medium runs, but such a problem is absent from the magnetic recording medium produced by this invention. Another advantage of the back coating of this invention is that high-density recording at a recording wavelength of 1.3.mu. is possible without reducing the video S/N ratio, as compared to conventional magnetic recording mediums.
The magnetic layer and the non-magnetic base in the magnetic recording medium of this invention can be prepared from the material described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 108804/77 (the symbol OPI as used herein means an unexamined published Japanese patent application) by the method described in the same application.
