Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic resin support, islands of a polyester or polyurethane resin undercoat layer formed on one surface of the non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer formed on the islands-bearing resin support wherein said resin support is a film made of a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin and 0.3 to 10 wt% of titanium oxide particles having an average size below 2.5 μm, and wherein the islands are formed by coating the resin undercoat with a thickness of 0.01 to 1.0 μm on the resin support and stretching the resin support to a draw ratio of 2 to 10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic resin support, islands of a polyester or polyurethane resin undercoat layer formed on one surface of the non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer formed on the islands-bearing resin support wherein said resin support is a film made of a resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin and 0.3 to 10 wt% of titanium oxide particles having an average size below 2.5 μm, and wherein the islands are formed by coating the resin undercoat with a thickness of 0.01 to 1.0 μm on the resin support and stretching the resin support to a draw ratio of 2 to 10.
