Description
本発明は、非磁性下地層用塗料における分散性に優れると共に非磁性下地層中における充填性に優れた非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末、並びに、該非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末を用いて得られる表面平滑性及び塗膜強度に優れた磁気記録媒体に関する。 The present invention uses a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer excellent in dispersibility in a coating for a nonmagnetic underlayer and excellent in filling property in the nonmagnetic underlayer, and the nonmagnetic particle powder for the nonmagnetic underlayer It is related with the magnetic recording medium excellent in the surface smoothness and coating-film strength obtained by this.
磁気記録技術は、オーディオ用、ビデオ用、コンピューター用等をはじめとしてさまざまな分野で幅広く用いられている。近年、機器の小型軽量化、記録の長時間化及び記録容量の増大等が求められており、記録媒体に対しては、記録密度のより一層の向上が望まれている。 Magnetic recording technology is widely used in various fields including audio, video, and computer. In recent years, there has been a demand for smaller and lighter devices, longer recording time, increased recording capacity, and the like, and further improvement in recording density is desired for recording media.
従来の磁気記録媒体に対してより高密度記録を行うためには、高いC/N比が必要であり、ノイズ(N)が低く、再生出力(C)が高いことが求められている。近年では、これまで用いられていた誘導型磁気ヘッドに代わり、磁気抵抗型ヘッド(MRヘッド)や巨大磁気抵抗型ヘッド(GMRヘッド)等の高感度ヘッドが開発されており、これらは誘導型磁気ヘッドに比べて再生出力が得られやすいことから、高いC/N比を得るためには、出力を上げるよりもノイズを低減する方が重要となってきている。 In order to perform high-density recording on a conventional magnetic recording medium, a high C / N ratio is required, noise (N) is low, and reproduction output (C) is required to be high. In recent years, high-sensitivity heads such as magnetoresistive heads (MR heads) and giant magnetoresistive heads (GMR heads) have been developed in place of the inductive magnetic heads used so far. Since it is easy to obtain a reproduction output as compared with the head, in order to obtain a high C / N ratio, it is more important to reduce the noise than to increase the output.
磁気記録媒体のノイズは、粒子性ノイズと磁気記録媒体の表面性に起因して発生する表面性ノイズに大別される。粒子性ノイズの場合、粒子サイズの影響が大きく、微粒子であるほどノイズ低減に有利であることから、磁気記録媒体に用いる磁性粒子粉末の粒子サイズはできるだけ小さいことが必要となる。 The noise of the magnetic recording medium is roughly classified into particulate noise and surface noise generated due to the surface property of the magnetic recording medium. In the case of particulate noise, the influence of the particle size is large, and the finer the particle, the better the noise reduction. Therefore, the particle size of the magnetic particle powder used for the magnetic recording medium needs to be as small as possible.
しかしながら、磁性粒子粉末の微粒子化は、磁気記録層の薄層化を伴うものであり、磁気記録層が薄層化することによって、磁気記録層の表面平滑化が困難になること及び塗膜強度の低下が問題となるため、上記磁気記録層の薄層化に対しては、ベースフィルム等の非磁性支持体上にヘマタイト粒子粉末等の非磁性粒子粉末を結合剤樹脂中に分散させてなる下地層(以下、「非磁性下地層」という。)を少なくとも一層設けることにより、磁気記録媒体の表面平滑性及び強度向上を図っている。 However, micronization of magnetic particle powder is accompanied by thinning of the magnetic recording layer, and it is difficult to smooth the surface of the magnetic recording layer due to the thinning of the magnetic recording layer and the strength of the coating film. In order to reduce the thickness of the magnetic recording layer, nonmagnetic particle powder such as hematite particle powder is dispersed in a binder resin on a nonmagnetic support such as a base film. By providing at least one underlayer (hereinafter referred to as “nonmagnetic underlayer”), surface smoothness and strength of the magnetic recording medium are improved.
一方、表面性ノイズの場合、磁気記録媒体の表面平滑性を改良することが重要であるが、磁気記録層が薄層化することによって、非磁性下地層の表面平滑性がそのまま上層の磁気記録層の表面平滑性に影響を及ぼすこととなる。 On the other hand, in the case of surface noise, it is important to improve the surface smoothness of the magnetic recording medium. However, by making the magnetic recording layer thinner, the surface smoothness of the nonmagnetic underlayer remains as it is. It will affect the surface smoothness of the layer.
また、単位体積当たりの記録密度を向上させるために、磁気記録媒体自体を薄層化することが試みられている。 In addition, in order to improve the recording density per unit volume, attempts have been made to reduce the thickness of the magnetic recording medium itself.
従って、非磁性下地層には、平滑な表面と高い塗膜強度と共に、より一層の薄層化が求められており、このような非磁性下地層を形成するために、非磁性下地層中に配合される非磁性粒子粉末に対しては、非磁性下地層用塗料における優れた分散性と共に非磁性下地層中における充填性の向上が求められている。 Therefore, the nonmagnetic underlayer is required to have a thinner layer with a smooth surface and high coating strength. In order to form such a nonmagnetic underlayer, The nonmagnetic particle powder to be blended is required to improve the filling property in the nonmagnetic underlayer as well as the excellent dispersibility in the coating for the nonmagnetic underlayer.
表面平滑性、強度、磁気特性、保存安定性、耐候性がともに優れた、電磁変換特性の良好な磁気記録媒体を得ることを目的として、平均長軸長が0.01〜0.5μmの針状オキシ水酸化鉄を用いた磁気記録媒体(特許文献1)が開示されている。 A needle having an average major axis length of 0.01 to 0.5 μm for the purpose of obtaining a magnetic recording medium having excellent surface smoothness, strength, magnetic characteristics, storage stability, and weather resistance and good electromagnetic conversion characteristics. A magnetic recording medium (Patent Document 1) using a hydrated iron oxyhydroxide is disclosed.
前出特許文献1では、非磁性下地層に用いられる非磁性粉末の結晶子径は記載されているものの、単結晶化度[平均長軸径(DTEM)と結晶子径(DX)の比(DTEM/DX)]については考慮されておらず、また、表より求められるヘマタイト粒子粉末の単結晶化度は8.8と高いものであり、非磁性下地層中における充填性に優れた非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末を得ることは困難である。 In the above-mentioned patent document 1, although the crystallite diameter of the nonmagnetic powder used for the nonmagnetic underlayer is described, the single crystallinity [average major axis diameter (D TEM ) and crystallite diameter (D X ) The ratio (D TEM / D X )] is not taken into consideration, and the single crystallinity of the hematite particle powder obtained from the table is as high as 8.8. It is difficult to obtain an excellent nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer.
本発明は、表面平滑性及び耐久性に優れた磁気記録媒体を得ることのできる、非磁性下地層用塗料における分散性及び非磁性下地層中における充填性に優れた非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末を提供することを技術的課題とする。 The present invention is capable of obtaining a magnetic recording medium excellent in surface smoothness and durability, and is nonmagnetic for nonmagnetic underlayer excellent in dispersibility in nonmagnetic underlayer paints and in filling property in nonmagnetic underlayer. Providing particle powder is a technical problem.

また、本発明は、非磁性粒子粉末のタップ密度(ρt)が0.60g/cm3以上である本発明1の磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末である(本発明2)。 The present invention also relates to a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer of the magnetic recording medium of the present invention 1 wherein the tap density (ρt) of the nonmagnetic particle powder is 0.60 g / cm 3 or more (Invention 2). .

また、本発明は、非磁性支持体、該非磁性支持体上に形成される非磁性粒子粉末と結合剤樹脂とを含む非磁性下地層及び該非磁性下地層の上に形成される磁性粒子粉末と結合剤樹脂とを含む磁気記録層からなる磁気記録媒体において、前記非磁性粒子粉末が本発明1から本発明3のいずれかに記載の磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末であることを特徴とする磁気記録媒体である(本発明4)。 The present invention also provides a nonmagnetic support, a nonmagnetic underlayer comprising a nonmagnetic particle powder and a binder resin formed on the nonmagnetic support, and a magnetic particle powder formed on the nonmagnetic underlayer.

This is a magnetic recording medium (Invention 4).
本発明に係る磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末は単結晶化度[平均長軸径(DTEM)と結晶子径(DX)の比(DTEM/DX)]が8.0以下であり、非磁性下地層用塗料における分散性及び非磁性下地層中における充填性に優れているため、高密度磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末として好適である。 The nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer of the magnetic recording medium according to the present invention has a single crystallinity [ratio of average major axis diameter (D TEM ) to crystallite diameter (D X ) (D TEM / D X )]. It is 8.0 or less and is excellent as a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer of a high-density magnetic recording medium because it is excellent in dispersibility in a coating for a nonmagnetic underlayer and in a filling property in the nonmagnetic underlayer. .
また、本発明に係る磁気記録媒体は、上述の非磁性粒子粉末を磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末として用いることにより、高い表面平滑性と優れた塗膜強度を有する磁気記録媒体を得ることができるため、高密度磁気記録媒体として好適である。 In addition, the magnetic recording medium according to the present invention uses the above-mentioned nonmagnetic particle powder as a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer of the magnetic recording medium, so that the magnetic recording has high surface smoothness and excellent coating strength. Since a medium can be obtained, it is suitable as a high-density magnetic recording medium.
本発明の構成をより詳しく説明すれば次の通りである。 The configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail as follows.
先ず、本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末について述べる。 First, the nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention will be described.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末はヘマタイト粒子粉末である。また、前記ヘマタイト粒子は、粒子内部にZr、Ti、P、Sn、Sb、Y、Nb又はMn等の異種元素を含有させてもよい。 The nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention is a hematite particle powder. The hematite particles may contain different elements such as Zr, Ti, P, Sn, Sb, Y, Nb or Mn inside the particles.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の粒子形状は、針状、紡錘状、米粒状、球状、粒状、多面体状、フレーク状、鱗片状及び板状等のいずれの形状であってもよい。 The particle shape of the nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention is any shape such as a needle shape, a spindle shape, a rice grain shape, a spherical shape, a granular shape, a polyhedron shape, a flake shape, a scale shape, and a plate shape. Also good.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の平均長軸径は1〜300nmであり、より好ましくは5〜250nm、更により好ましくは5〜200nmである。非磁性粒子粉末の平均長軸径が300nmを超える場合は、これを用いて非磁性下地層を形成した場合、塗膜の表面平滑性が損なわれやすい。また、平均長軸径が1nm未満の場合には、粒子の微細化による分子間力の増大により凝集を起こしやすいため、非磁性塗料中での分散が困難となる。 The average major axis diameter of the nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention is 1 to 300 nm, more preferably 5 to 250 nm, and still more preferably 5 to 200 nm. When the average major axis diameter of the nonmagnetic particle powder exceeds 300 nm, the surface smoothness of the coating film tends to be impaired when the nonmagnetic underlayer is formed using this. In addition, when the average major axis diameter is less than 1 nm, aggregation is likely to occur due to an increase in intermolecular force due to the refinement of particles, so that dispersion in a nonmagnetic paint becomes difficult.
また、本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末のより好ましい形態としては、平均長軸径は1〜50nmであり、より好ましくは5〜40nmである。非磁性粒子粉末の平均長軸径が50nmを超える場合でも、従来の磁気記録媒体の非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末として用いることは可能である。しかしながら、より一層の薄層化が望まれる磁気記録媒体においては、非磁性粒子粉末が50nm以下の微粒子であることによって非磁性下地層をより薄層化できると共に、非磁性粒子粉末を塗膜中により高充填することができるため、優れた表面平滑性と強度を有する磁気記録媒体を得ることが可能となる。 Moreover, as a more preferable form of the nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention, the average major axis diameter is 1 to 50 nm, more preferably 5 to 40 nm. Even when the average major axis diameter of the nonmagnetic particle powder exceeds 50 nm, it can be used as a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer of a conventional magnetic recording medium. However, in a magnetic recording medium in which a further thinner layer is desired, the nonmagnetic underlayer can be made thinner because the nonmagnetic particle powder is a fine particle of 50 nm or less, and the nonmagnetic particle powder is contained in the coating film. Therefore, a magnetic recording medium having excellent surface smoothness and strength can be obtained.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の軸比(長軸径と短軸径の比)(以下、「軸比」という。)は1.0以上であり、好ましくは1.0〜10.0、より好ましくは1.0〜8.0である。 The axial ratio (ratio of major axis diameter to minor axis diameter) (hereinafter referred to as “axial ratio”) of the nonmagnetic particle powder for nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention is 1.0 or more, preferably 1.0. ˜10.0, more preferably 1.0 to 8.0.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末のBET比表面積値は10〜200m2/gが好ましく、より好ましくは15〜180m2/g、更により好ましくは20〜160m2/gである。BET比表面積値が10m2/g未満の場合には、これを用いて磁気記録層を形成した場合に、塗膜の表面平滑性が損なわれやすい。BET比表面積値が200m2/gを超える場合には、粒子の微細化による分子間力の増大により凝集を起こしやすいため、ビヒクル中での分散が困難となる。 BET specific surface area of the non-magnetic undercoat layer for magnetic particles according to the present invention is preferably 10 to 200 m 2 / g, more preferably 15~180m 2 / g, even more preferably is 20~160m 2 / g . When the BET specific surface area value is less than 10 m 2 / g, when the magnetic recording layer is formed using this, the surface smoothness of the coating film tends to be impaired. When the BET specific surface area value exceeds 200 m 2 / g, aggregation tends to occur due to an increase in intermolecular force due to particle miniaturization, and thus dispersion in the vehicle becomes difficult.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の単結晶化度[平均長軸径(DTEM)と結晶子径(DX)の比(DTEM/DX)]は8.0以下であり、好ましくは7.0以下、より好ましくは6.5以下である。非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の単結晶化度を8.0以下とすることにより、非磁性粒子粉末を塗膜中により高充填することができるため、優れた表面平滑性と塗膜強度を有する磁気記録媒体を得ることが可能となる。 The single crystallinity [ratio of average major axis diameter (D TEM ) to crystallite diameter (D X ) (D TEM / D X )] of the non-magnetic particle powder for non-magnetic underlayer according to the present invention is 8.0 or less. Preferably, it is 7.0 or less, More preferably, it is 6.5 or less. By setting the single crystallinity of the nonmagnetic particle powder for the nonmagnetic underlayer to 8.0 or less, the nonmagnetic particle powder can be filled more highly into the coating film. It is possible to obtain a magnetic recording medium having
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末のタップ密度(ρt)は0.60g/cm3以上であり、好ましくは0.65〜1.80g/cm3、より好ましくは0.70〜1.50g/cm3である。タップ密度(ρt)が0.60g/cm3未満の場合には、粒子粉末中に含まれる空気が多いため、非磁性塗料作製時の非磁性粒子粉末を混練・分散する際に、強力なせん断力を混練物にかけることが難しく、塗膜中に非磁性粒子粉末高充填することができないため、結果、優れた表面平滑性を有する磁気記録媒体を得ることが困難となる。 The tap density (ρt) of the nonmagnetic particle powder for nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention is 0.60 g / cm 3 or more, preferably 0.65 to 1.80 g / cm 3 , more preferably 0.70. 1.50 g / cm 3 . When the tap density (ρt) is less than 0.60 g / cm 3 , since the air contained in the particle powder is large, strong shear is applied when the nonmagnetic particle powder is kneaded and dispersed at the time of preparing the nonmagnetic coating material. It is difficult to apply a force to the kneaded product, and the non-magnetic particle powder cannot be highly filled in the coating film. As a result, it is difficult to obtain a magnetic recording medium having excellent surface smoothness.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末は、アルミニウム、シリカ、チタン、亜鉛、リン、ホウ素、スカンジウム、イットリウム及び希土類元素(ランタン、セリウム、プラセオジム、ネオジム、サマリウム)から選ばれる元素からなる一種又は二種以上の化合物により焼結防止処理又は/及び表面処理されていてもよい。粒子表面が前述の化合物により被覆されている非磁性粒子粉末は、非磁性塗料中に分散させた場合に、結合剤樹脂とのなじみがよく、所望の分散度がより得られ易い。 The nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention comprises an element selected from aluminum, silica, titanium, zinc, phosphorus, boron, scandium, yttrium, and rare earth elements (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium). Sintering prevention treatment and / or surface treatment may be performed with one or more compounds. The non-magnetic particle powder whose particle surface is coated with the above-mentioned compound has a good affinity with the binder resin when dispersed in a non-magnetic coating material, and a desired degree of dispersion is more easily obtained.

次に、本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末の製造法について述べる。 Next, a method for producing a nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention will be described.
本発明に係る非磁性下地層用非磁性粒子粉末は、第一鉄塩水溶液とアルカリ水溶液との混合溶液を、40〜50℃の温度範囲にて非酸化性雰囲気下で30〜360分間維持攪拌してエイジングを行うことで鉄含有沈澱物を含む懸濁液とし、次いで、当該懸濁液に酸化剤を添加した後、40〜60℃の温度範囲にて酸化反応を行うことにより生成した含水酸化鉄粒子スラリーを、濾別、水洗し、焼結防止処理を行った後融剤を添加し、濾別・乾燥後、200〜400℃の温度範囲で加熱脱水して低密度ヘマタイト粒子粉末とした後、更に400〜750℃の温度範囲で加熱焼成することにより得ることができる。 The nonmagnetic particle powder for a nonmagnetic underlayer according to the present invention comprises a mixed solution of a ferrous salt aqueous solution and an alkaline aqueous solution maintained and stirred for 30 to 360 minutes in a nonoxidizing atmosphere at a temperature range of 40 to 50 ° C. Then, aging is performed to obtain a suspension containing an iron-containing precipitate, and then an oxidant is added to the suspension, followed by an oxidation reaction in a temperature range of 40 to 60 ° C. After the iron oxide particle slurry is filtered, washed with water, subjected to sintering prevention treatment, a flux is added, and after filtering and drying, heat dehydration is performed in a temperature range of 200 to 400 ° C. to obtain a low density hematite particle powder. Then, it can be obtained by further heating and baking in a temperature range of 400 to 750 ° C.
本発明における酸化剤としては、過硫酸アンモニウム、過酸化水素水等を用いることができるが、得られるゲータイト粒子粉末の均一性を考慮すれば、過硫酸アンモニウムが好ましい。酸化剤の添加量は、Fe 1モルに対して0.5〜10モル%が好ましく、より好ましくは1〜7モル%である。添加量が少なすぎる場合には、ゲータイト粒子の核晶発生にムラができ、成長成分が残存することになるため粒子が不均一に成長し、粒度分布の良いが均整な粒子が得られなくなる。 As the oxidizing agent in the present invention, ammonium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide solution, and the like can be used, but ammonium persulfate is preferable in view of the uniformity of the obtained goethite particle powder. The addition amount of the oxidizing agent is preferably 0.5 to 10 mol%, more preferably 1 to 7 mol% with respect to 1 mol of Fe. If the amount added is too small, the generation of nuclei of goethite particles will be uneven and the growth components will remain, so that the particles will grow non-uniformly and it will not be possible to obtain uniform particles with good particle size distribution.
前記エイジングは、非酸化性雰囲気下、40〜50℃の温度範囲で行うことが好ましい。50℃を超える場合には、マグネタイトが混在しやすくなるため好ましくない。また、攪拌の保持時間は30〜600分であり、好ましくは60〜480分である。 The aging is preferably performed in a temperature range of 40 to 50 ° C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. When it exceeds 50 ° C., magnetite tends to be mixed, which is not preferable. The holding time for stirring is 30 to 600 minutes, preferably 60 to 480 minutes.
前記酸化反応は常法に従って行えばよく、例えば、前記懸濁液中に酸素含有ガスを通気する等の方法により行うことができる。酸化反応の温度範囲は40〜60℃で行うことが好ましく、60℃を超える場合には、マグネタイトが混在しやすくなるため好ましくない。 The oxidation reaction may be performed according to a conventional method, for example, by a method of ventilating an oxygen-containing gas into the suspension. The temperature range of the oxidation reaction is preferably 40 to 60 ° C, and when it exceeds 60 ° C, magnetite tends to be mixed, which is not preferable.
なお、前記酸化反応(エイジング)の前後に、粒子形状のコントロール及び諸特性向上を目的として、Si、Al、Zr、Ti、P、Sn、Sb、Y、Nb又はMn等の異種元素が添加されてもよい。また、粒子サイズのコントロールを目的としてエイジング前にアスコルビン酸又はエリソルビン酸等を添加してもよい。 Before and after the oxidation reaction (aging), different elements such as Si, Al, Zr, Ti, P, Sn, Sb, Y, Nb or Mn are added for the purpose of controlling the particle shape and improving various properties. May be. Further, ascorbic acid or erythorbic acid may be added before aging for the purpose of controlling the particle size.
本発明においては、加熱脱水処理を行う前に、あらかじめ含水酸化鉄粒子粉末の粒子表面を焼結防止剤で被覆しておくことが好ましい。焼結防止剤による被覆処理は、出発原料である含水酸化鉄粒子粉末を含む懸濁液中に焼結防止剤を添加し、均一になるように混合攪拌した後、含水酸化鉄粒子表面に焼結防止剤が被覆できるよう、適切なpH調整を行って表面を被覆する。 In the present invention, it is preferable to coat the particle surface of the hydrous iron oxide particle powder with a sintering inhibitor in advance before performing the heat dehydration treatment. In the coating treatment with the sintering inhibitor, the sintering inhibitor is added to the suspension containing the hydrous iron oxide particle powder, which is the starting material, mixed and stirred uniformly, and then sintered onto the hydrous iron oxide particle surface. The surface is coated with appropriate pH adjustment so that the anti-caking agent can be coated.
前記焼結防止剤としては、通常使用されるヘキサメタリン酸ナトリウム、ポリリン酸、オルトリン酸等のリン化合物、3号水ガラス、オルトケイ酸ナトリウム、メタケイ酸ナトリウム、コロイダルシリカ等のケイ素化合物、ホウ酸等のホウ素化合物、酢酸アルミニウム、硫酸アルミニウム、塩化アルミニウム、硝酸アルミニウム等のアルミニウム塩や、アルミン酸ソーダ等のアルミン酸アルカリ塩、アルミナゾル、水酸化アルミニウム等のアルミニウム化合物、オキシ硫酸チタン等のチタン化合物、スカンジウム、イットリウム、希土類元素(ランタン、セリウム、プラセオジウム、ネオジウム、サマリウム)から選ばれる元素を含む硫酸塩、塩化物、硝酸塩等の一種又は二種以上を使用することができる。 Examples of the sintering inhibitor include commonly used phosphorus compounds such as sodium hexametaphosphate, polyphosphoric acid and orthophosphoric acid, No. 3 water glass, sodium orthosilicate, sodium metasilicate, colloidal silica and other silicon compounds, boric acid and the like. Boron compounds, aluminum salts such as aluminum acetate, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, and aluminum nitrate, alkali aluminates such as sodium aluminate, aluminum compounds such as alumina sol and aluminum hydroxide, titanium compounds such as titanium oxysulfate, scandium, One or more of sulfates, chlorides, nitrates and the like containing an element selected from yttrium and rare earth elements (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium) can be used.
得られた焼結防止剤によって被覆された含水酸化鉄粒子粉末のスラリーは、融剤を添加して攪拌・混合する。融剤としては、塩化ナトリウム及び塩化バリウム等の塩化物を用いることが好ましく、好ましくは塩化ナトリウムである。また、融剤の添加量は含水酸化鉄粒子粉末に対して1〜100重量%であり、好ましくは5〜50重量%である。 The resulting slurry of hydrous iron oxide powder powder coated with the sintering inhibitor is added with a flux and stirred and mixed. As the flux, it is preferable to use chlorides such as sodium chloride and barium chloride, preferably sodium chloride. Moreover, the addition amount of a flux is 1 to 100 weight% with respect to a hydrous iron oxide particle powder, Preferably it is 5 to 50 weight%.
含水酸化鉄粒子粉末の加熱脱水温度は200〜400℃であり、好ましくは250〜400℃である。加熱脱水温度が200℃未満の場合には、脱水反応に長時間を要するために好ましくない。また、低温加熱脱水温度が400℃を超える場合には、脱水反応が急激に生起し、粒子の形状が崩れやすくなったり、粒子相互間の焼結を引き起こしたりする可能性がある。 The heat dehydration temperature of the hydrous iron oxide particle powder is 200 to 400 ° C, preferably 250 to 400 ° C. A heating dehydration temperature of less than 200 ° C. is not preferable because a long time is required for the dehydration reaction. In addition, when the low temperature heating dehydration temperature exceeds 400 ° C., the dehydration reaction may occur rapidly, and the shape of the particles may be easily lost, or sintering between the particles may be caused.
加熱脱水後の低密度ヘマタイト粒子粉末の加熱焼成温度は400〜750℃であり、好ましくは400〜700℃である。加熱処理温度が400℃未満の場合には、高密度化が不十分であるためヘマタイト粒子の粒子内部及び粒子表面に脱水孔が多数存在しており、非磁性塗料中における分散が難しく、非磁性下地層を形成した時、表面平滑な塗膜が得られにくい。750℃を超える場合には、ヘマタイト粒子の高密度化は十分なされているが、粒子及び粒子相互間の焼結が生じるため、粒子径が増大し、同様に表面平滑な塗膜は得られにくい。 The heating and firing temperature of the low-density hematite particle powder after heat dehydration is 400 to 750 ° C, preferably 400 to 700 ° C. When the heat treatment temperature is less than 400 ° C., the densification is insufficient, and there are a large number of dehydration holes inside and on the surface of the hematite particles, making it difficult to disperse in the non-magnetic paint, and non-magnetic When the underlayer is formed, it is difficult to obtain a coating film having a smooth surface.
