Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a recording medium good in surface property, high in strength of adhesion to a ferromagnetic metallic film, and suitable to recording of both of long and short wavelengths by laminating a magnetic coat layer, an intermediate layer smooth on the surface and made of nonmagnetic org. polymer, and a ferromagnetic thin metallic film on a support in this order. CONSTITUTION:A magnetic layer 2 consisting of a binder and a magnetic powder low in coercive force and low in max. residual density, such as gamma-Fe2O3, Co-adsorbed Fe2O3, or Fe3O4 is formed on the surface of a supporting sheet 1, and dried. Then, it is coated with an ethyl alcohol soln. 8 dissolving a polymer not dissolving the layer 2, such as polyvinyl alcohol, to 0.1-10% concn. and having 1-200cp viscosity, using a gravure roll 5, and the intermediate film 4 smooth on the surface is formed using a flexible smoother 9. On this film 4, Fe, Co, Ni, or an alloy among them is vapor deposited to form a ferromagnetic metallic layer 3. As a result, the obtained record reproducing medium does not cause stripping-off of the layer 3, etc., and it is smooth on the surface and superior in recording performances of both long and short wavelengths.

There is one in which magnetic powder such as No. 4 and a binder are coated on a support and dried. However, while this coated magnetic recording medium is suitable for magnetic recording with long recording wavelengths, its magnetic properties such as maximum residual magnetic flux density are insufficient for magnetic recording with short wavelengths. Therefore, in recent years, magnetic recording media with magnetic properties suitable for high-density magnetic recording have been developed.

One example is one in which a ferromagnetic metal such as Fe or CO is formed into a thin film on a support by a method such as vacuum evaporation, ion blasting, sputtering, or plating. Since the thickness of the ferromagnetic metal thin film is several thousand, it is particularly suitable for short wavelength recording, but on the other hand, for long wavelength recording, a decrease in signal output and a decrease in the S/N ratio occur. Therefore, it was unsuitable for audio tapes, which require a uniform output signal from long wavelengths to short wavelengths.

That is, (1) The surface of the magnetic layer 2 is quite uneven even if it is calendered, and even if the ferromagnetic metal thin film layer 3 is provided thereon by vacuum evaporation or the like, the surface unevenness will not be improved. Therefore, when recording and reproducing on such a magnetic recording medium, the output in the short wavelength region decreases, and the characteristics of the ferromagnetic metal thin film are lost.

(2) When attempting to provide the ferromagnetic metal thin film layer 3 on the surface of the magnetic layer 2 by vacuum deposition, additives in the magnetic layer 2 will volatilize, lowering the degree of vacuum, and furthermore, the volatilized components may cause the magnetic layer to The adhesion force between the ferromagnetic metal thin film layer 3 and the ferromagnetic metal thin film layer 3 is significantly reduced, and the gloss and surface properties are poor.

Urethane resin, 7' enoxy resin, or a mixture thereof can be used.

Dissolved in organic solvent,
Katsuki translates and applies. What is important here is that the components of the coating solution (resin, solvent) do not dissolve the first magnetic layer; if the magnetic layer is dissolved by the coating solution, the surface will become uneven. This is because if this happens, the orientation of the magnetic layer deteriorates, making it undesirable as a magnetic recording medium.

Furthermore, the concentration of the component forming the non-magnetic organic polymer film in the coating solution and the viscosity of the coating solution must meet the conditions described above, and the coating should be carried out at a rate of 2 ctA to 1 ocrtl per 1 m of roller surface.
It is carried out by a roll having a gravure cell. This is because if the viscosity of the coating liquid is too high or the amount applied is too small, the smoother cannot be applied in the smoothing process after application, and on the other hand, if the viscosity is too low or the amount applied is too large, hot air may be generated during drying. It is better to keep the thickness of the organic polymer film as thin as possible in consideration of spacing loss, but on the other hand, if it is too thin, the surface will not be smooth and volatile components will be removed during vacuum evaporation. This is because it becomes impossible to suppress the volatilization of.
