Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a combination of a magnetic recording tape for operation from reel to reel under tension and at high lineal velocity in cooperation with a magnetic recording and/or playback head and a flexible leader tape having a nonmagnetic light-transmissive base, the improvement comprising an abrasion resistant coating layer formed on the nonmagnetic base, the coating layer consisting of a binder of 100 parts by weight and a pigment of 50 to 400 parts by weight, in which the pigment and the coating formed therewith has a light color, the surface resistivity of the coating layer being less than 10 12 ohms/sq. and the transmissivity of the coated leader tape being 20% or greater, said pigment including one or two of materials selected from zinc oxide, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, zinc sulfide, silicon monoxide, antimony oxide, white lead, aluminum oxide, barium sulfate, lead sulfate, talc, clay, lithopone, and white carbon black.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
