This invention relates to a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape that uses metal powder mainly composed of iron as magnetic powder, and its main purpose is to provide a magnetic recording medium whose magnetic properties are less likely to deteriorate over time. . The magnetic layer of a magnetic recording medium is usually made by applying magnetic powder to the surface of a substrate such as a polyester film together with a binder resin. However, when a powder mainly composed of metallic iron is used as the magnetic powder, this type of powder is Because it has the property of being easily oxidized, its magnetic properties tend to deteriorate over time compared to oxide-based magnetic powder. This tendency is also observed in magnetic metal powders or alloy powders other than those containing iron as the main component, but it is particularly noticeable in those containing iron as the main component. In light of these circumstances, the inventors have already formed a silicone oil film on the surface of metal powder, mainly iron, and selected a specific resin as a binder to disperse and bind the powder. , and succeeded in improving the above-mentioned aging characteristics. This invention was made after it was discovered in subsequent research that the aging characteristics could be similarly improved by means completely different from those previously proposed. The purpose is to contain higher fatty acids or higher fatty acids and a specific amount of silicone oil. According to this method, the higher fatty acids are adsorbed to the surface of the magnetic powder inside the magnetic layer and coat the powder surface as much as possible, and when silicone oil is used, it is used in combination with the above acid to coat the layer surface. It has a structure that is difficult to seep out, and at the same time, the oxidation prevention function of silicone oil is added, and these factors suppress the oxidative deterioration of the magnetic powder over time as much as possible, resulting in good results in improving the characteristics over time. . The higher fatty acids used in this invention have carbon atoms ranging from 10 to 10, which are solid at room temperature (20°C).
Up to 20 is desirable, specifically capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid,
Examples include stearic acid, arachidic acid, tridecylic acid, pentadecylic acid, heptadecylic acid, and the like, with myristic acid being the most preferred. In addition, commercially available silicone oils can be used as the silicone oil used with the above fatty acids. -54 (methyl phenyl silicone oil), KF-857, 858 (silicone oil having an amino group), KF-22-342 (silicone oil having an epoxy group), and one or two of these. Use a mixture of more than one species. The blending ratio of these silicone oils to higher fatty acids is preferably 0 to 30% by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight, based on the total amount of higher fatty acids, and the silicone oil is preferably less than 30% by weight of the total amount. If too much is used, leaching onto the surface of the magnetic layer becomes noticeable and has an adverse effect on the layer surface, which is not desirable. In the present invention, in order to incorporate the higher fatty acid described above or the silicone oil together with the above-mentioned higher fatty acid in the magnetic layer containing the metal magnetic powder mainly composed of iron, it is preferable to use the above-mentioned higher fatty acid together with the metal magnetic powder mainly composed of iron and a suitable binder. A method may be adopted in which a magnetic coating material is prepared by mixing the following components, and this is applied to a substrate such as a polyester film to form a magnetic layer. However, instead of using the above method, methods such as coating or spraying an organic solvent solution in which higher fatty acids or fatty acids and silicone oil are dissolved on the preformed magnetic layer, or immersing the magnetic layer in this solution, etc. There is no problem in adopting it and implementing it. By using such a method, a magnetic layer containing usually 0.2 to 2% by weight of higher fatty acids or higher fatty acids and silicone oil can suppress deterioration of magnetic properties over time for the reasons mentioned above, and also In addition to this improvement in aging properties, the dispersibility of the magnetic powder (especially when higher fatty acids or silicone oil is added to the magnetic paint) is improved, or the frictional resistance against various parts of the recording/reproducing device is lowered, reducing tape squeal. It also has the effect of being prevented. Examples of this invention will be described below. In the following, parts refer to parts by weight. Example 1 Particle size 0.4 μ, axial ratio (long axis to short axis ratio) 10, coercive force
1200 Oersted, 250 parts of metallic iron powder with a saturation magnetization of 152 emu/g, 37.5 parts of hydroxyl group-containing vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer (VAGH manufactured by UCC), Takenate L-1007 (urethane prepolymer manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company) 23 parts, 2 parts of Coronate L (dimer-trimer of isocyanate manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Co., Ltd.),
A magnetic paint was prepared by stirring and mixing a mixture of 150 parts of toluene, 165 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone, and 25 parts of myristic acid in a ball mill for 72 hours. This paint was applied to a 15 μm polyester film to a dry thickness of 3 to 4 μm, dried, and then the surface of the magnetic layer was calendered to give it a mirror finish, and then cut into a predetermined width to form a magnetic tape. Example 2 KF-96 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. as a component of magnetic paint
A magnetic tape was prepared in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0.5 part of the above-mentioned silicone oil was added. Comparative Example 1 A magnetic tape was produced in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, except that 25 parts of myristic acid, which is a component of the magnetic paint, was removed. Comparative Example 2 KF-96 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. as a component of magnetic paint
A magnetic tape was produced in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, except that 15 parts of the above silicone oil were added. For each of the magnetic tapes of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 described above, coercive force, residual magnetic flux density (Br),
The results of examining the squareness ratio (Br/Bm), deterioration rate of residual magnetic flux density after 30 days storage (60℃, 90%RH air), coefficient of friction, and presence or absence of tape squeal are shown in the table below. It was hot. The deterioration rate was calculated as (initial residual magnetic flux density−residual magnetic flux density after 30 days)/initial residual magnetic flux density×100 (%).

[Table] As is clear from the above table, the magnetic tape of the present invention suppresses deterioration of characteristics over time, and also provides good results in terms of dispersibility of magnetic powder and frictional resistance, especially in the magnetic layer. It can be seen that the product containing higher fatty acids and silicone oil (Example 2) has better results in suppressing deterioration and reducing frictional resistance than the product containing only the former (Example 1). However, it is clear that when silicone oil is contained in a large amount exceeding 30% by weight based on the total amount of higher fatty acids (Comparative Example 2), the properties are rather deteriorated.
