Abstract
Abstract The magnetic recording medium contains the magnetic layer comprising the magnetic or magnetizable powders or particles and the binder comprising a composition containing (A) a compound represented by formula (V): <IMAGE> (wherein R is methyl or ethyl group and X is a group containing an acrylic or methacrylic double bond; i is a number in the range of approximately 200 to 800, j is a number in the range of approximately 10 to 200, k is a number in the range up to approximately 200, and l is a number in the range of approximately 3 to 100, provided that the division of l by the sum of k and l is in the range from approximately 0.2 to 1.0) and (B) a compound having at least two acrylic and/or methacrylic double bonds in the molecule thereof and having a molecular weight ranging from approximately 1,000 to 6,000 in which the molecular weight in the molecule per one double bond is in the range from approximately 80 to 3,000. The composition is cured by the irradiation of radiation so that the magnetic recording medium has an improved durability as well as physical strengths in the magnetic layer thereon.
