The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium, and its purpose is to provide a magnetic recording medium that does not seep out of lubricant even when stored or used for a long time, has stable running, and has excellent durability. It is in. Magnetic recording media for computers, videos, audio, etc. come into violent sliding contact with magnetic heads during recording and reproduction, which can damage or wear the magnetic layer, causing dropouts. Therefore, a magnetic recording medium with low surface friction resistance and excellent wear resistance is desired. In particular, in floppy disks, the magnetic recording medium is housed in a vinyl chloride jacket lined with non-woven fabric, so the lubricant that seeps out may be absorbed by the non-woven fabric, reducing the lubricating effect at the sliding contact area of the head. This causes problems such as unstable running properties and further damage to the magnetic layer by the head. Conventionally, higher fatty acids and higher fatty acid esters have been mixed into magnetic recording media as lubricants, but when this magnetic recording medium is coated on a polyester substrate and dried and hardened, the lubricant oozes out onto the surface and causes further damage. evaporates and the lubricating effect decreases. Furthermore, even if the lubricant does not evaporate during drying and curing, if it is stored or used for a long time, the lubricant will seep out to the surface and be absorbed by the nonwoven fabric lining the jacket, reducing the lubricating effect. Conventional lubricants use higher fatty acids with 12 to 18 carbon atoms and higher fatty acid esters with 13 to 36 carbon atoms, but these do not have a sufficiently large molecular weight, so they are relatively difficult to migrate into the binder. If it is blended in an amount sufficient to obtain a sufficient lubricating effect, it will seep onto the surface of the magnetic layer. The present invention has been made to improve these drawbacks. As mentioned above, if the molecular weight is not large enough, the lubricant will seep out to the surface, so it is necessary to use a hydrocarbon with a molecular weight of about 2000 or more. However, all paraffinic hydrocarbons are solid at room temperature.
Difficult to knead with binder. However,
Liquid polyolefin hydrocarbons with an iodine value of 30 or more exist, and by using them together with higher fatty acids, higher fatty acid esters, etc., the seepage of the lubricant can be suppressed and durability can be improved. Can be done. That is, the present invention introduces double bonds into the structure of the lubricant by using a liquid polyolefin hydrocarbon, and even when the number of carbon atoms is about 180 (molecular weight is about 2500), it can be kept in a liquid state at room temperature. can. This moves more easily to the surface of the magnetic layer than, for example, polyethylene wax, and forms a high-molecular-weight oil film on the surface that is difficult to run off. With this lubricating layer, the present invention can form a magnetic coating film with excellent wear resistance. The fatty acid ester having 13 to 36 carbon atoms used in the present invention is preferably a fatty acid ester consisting of an aliphatic alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, which has excellent lubricity and is effective in wear resistance. Examples of the ester include n-butyl stearate and n-hexyl stearate, which may be used alone or in combination. The amount used is
A content of 0.5 to 2.0% by weight is desirable; if it is less than that, a sufficient lubricating effect cannot be obtained, and if it is more than that, there is a risk that it will seep onto the surface of the magnetic layer. In addition, the fatty acid preferably has 12 to 18 carbon atoms because of its excellent lubricating effect. Examples of such fatty acids include stearic acid, myristic acid, and olefinic acid, which may be used alone or in combination. used. The amount used is preferably 1.5 to 2.5% by weight in total with the fatty acid ester; if it is less than that, a sufficient lubricating effect cannot be obtained, and if it is more than that, there is a risk that it will seep onto the surface of the magnetic layer. Furthermore, by using a liquid polyolefin hydrocarbon in combination with this, seepage of the lubricant can be suppressed and lubricity can be improved. Examples of this type of hydrocarbon include VYBAR825 (molecular weight approximately 2500, iodine value 30) manufactured by PETROLITE Co., Ltd., which is commercially available from Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., and this liquid polyolefin hydrocarbon is effective even when used in small amounts. It is preferable to use 1/2 to 3/2 equivalent weight based on the total amount of the fatty acid ester and fatty acid. In order to contain a fatty acid ester having 13 to 36 carbon atoms and a higher fatty acid having 12 to 18 carbon atoms alone or a mixture thereof together with a liquid polyolefin hydrocarbon in the magnetic layer, these can be mixed with magnetic powder and a binder. The magnetic layer may be formed by kneading them together, or by mixing them in the presence of an appropriate solvent and applying or spraying them onto a pre-formed magnetic layer. It can also be done by soaking. Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described.

Both sides of the punched disk were polished smooth and placed in a vinyl chloride jacket lined with non-woven fabric to create a magnetic disk.

[Table] Comparative example In the paint composition of the example, from sample 1
Sample 4 is the one in which only VYBAR825 is omitted, and the amount of lubricant is kept as is.
Sample 5 contains only VYBAR825.
Without changing the ratio of n-butyl stearate and palmitic acid and the total amount of lubricant in Sample 1,
Sample 6 does not contain VYBAR825,
Otherwise, a magnetic disk was produced in the same manner as in the example. The surface frictional resistance μk of the magnetic disks obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples was measured, and their durability was tested using a floppy disk driver. The surface friction resistance measuring device was manufactured by Kyowa Scientific Co., Ltd.
The frictional resistance between the steel ball and the steel ball was measured using the DFPM model.
In addition, the durability test was conducted using Matsushita Tsushin Kogyo Co., Ltd.
Using JK-875, we recorded a 125KHz signal, then ran it for 200 hours under the conditions of 40℃ and 80%RH, and then observed a decrease in output, dropout, dirt on the magnetic head, and seepage of lubricant. I judged whether it was good or bad. Table 2 shows the results.

[Table] As is clear from Table 2, Sample 4 was found to have low lubricating effect and extremely poor wear resistance. Samples 5 and 6 had a lubricating effect, but the amount of single lubricant was high, and seepage onto the surface of the magnetic layer was observed. On the other hand, the device according to the present invention exhibits a sufficient lubricating effect, does not seep out of lubricant, and does not have any reduction in output. As described above, according to the present invention, by containing fatty acids and the like and liquid polyolefin hydrocarbon, there is no lubricant seepage even after long-term use, and furthermore, a high molecular weight oil film is formed on the surface of the magnetic layer. It is possible to form a lubricant layer that is difficult to break, and this lubricant layer can form a magnetic coating film with excellent wear resistance, making it possible to obtain a magnetic recording medium that runs stably and has excellent durability. can.
