Abstract
Abstract A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic support having on the surface side thereof a magnetic recording layer and on the opposite side thereof a backing layer is disclosed. The backing layer contains carbon black and a binder and has a thickness of 2 μm or less. The carbon black is composed of fine-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 10 to 30 mμ and coarse-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 100 to 150 mμ. In the backing layer the ratio of the content of carbon black to the binder ranges from 1:0.5 to 1:3.5 by weight.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support base; a magnetic recording layer on the surface side thereof; and a backing layer on the opposite side of the support containing carbon black and a binder, the backing layer having a thickness of 2 μm or less, the carbon black being composed of fine-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 10 to 30 mμ and coarse-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 100 to 150 mμ, the backing layer having a ratio of the content of the carbon black to that of the binder ranging from 1:0.5 to 1:3.5 by weight, wherein the ratio of the fine-grained carbon black to the coarse-grained carbon black is in the range og 99.5:0.5 to 50:50, and wherein the backing layer has a center line average roughness Ra of 0.024 μm or less under a cut-off condition of 0.08 mm.
