Claims
- 1. A method of producing an imaging support comprising:
- providing a support,
- simultaneously coating on a side of the support; a transparent magnetic recording layer comprising magnetic particles, a polymeric binder and an organic solvent, and a lubricating overcoat layer farthest from the support, the lubricating overcoat layer comprising wax particles having a size from 0.01 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m, and an organic solvent; and
- drying the magnetic recording layer and the lubricating overcoat layer.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the wax particles comprises dispersions of polyolefins, polypropylenes, polyethylenes, oxidized polyethylene, ethylene acrylic acid copolymers, microcrystalline wax, parafin or carnauba wax.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the organic solvent of the magnetic layer is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, ketones, chlorinated solvents, esters, water, hydrocarbons and ethers.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the organic solvent of the lubricant layer is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, ketones, chlorinated solvents, esters, water, hydrocarbons and ethers.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the magnetic particles have a surface area greater than 30 m.sup.2 /gm and a coverage of from about 1.times.10.sup.-11 mg/.mu.m.sup.3 to 1.times.10.sup.-10 mg/.mu.m.sup.3.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric binder is selected from the group consisting of cellulose esters, polyacrylates, copolymers with acrylic acid, sulfonates, polyesters, polyurethanes, urea resins, melamine resins, urea-formaldehyde resins, polyacetals, polybutyrals, polyvinyl alcohol, epoxies, epoxy acrylates, phenoxy resins, polycarbonates, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-vinyl-alcohol copolymers, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-maleic acid polymers, vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride copolymers, vinyl chloride-acrylonitrile copolymers, acrylic ester-acrylonitrile copolymers, acrylic ester-vinylidene chloride copolymers, methacrylic ester-styrene copolymers, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers, and styrene-butadiene copolymers.
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the lubricating overcoat layer further comprises viscosity modifiers, surfactants, abrasive particles, dispersants, or coating aids.
