Abstract

Abstract A magnetic recording medium is disclosed. The medium comprises a non-magnetic support having provided on opposite surfaces a magnetic recording layer and a backing layer containing two types of carbon black and a binder and having a thickness of 2 μm or less, one of said carbon black being fine carbon black having an average particle size of 30 to 100 mμ and the other of said carbon black being coarse carbon black having an average particle size of 150 to 500 mμ, and the mixing weight ratio of said carbon black and the binder being 1:1.5 to 1:3.5.
