Description
MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIA
Technical Field
This invention relates to magnetic recording media, such as magnetic recording tape. In detail, the invention relates to magnetic recording media excellent in electromagnetic conversion properties, drop-out properties and running durability.
Magnetic and physical properties of magnetic layer coated on one side of non-magnetic supporting material is crucial for performance of a magnetic recording medium in general. However, a tape without any treatment on the other side of the magnetic layer may lose a part of its non-magnetic supporting material while running, which may adhere to the magnetic layer, resulting in disturbance of magnetic recording and reproduction (drop out) at the part. At the same time, the tape easily becomes charged with static electricity, for the magnetic layer is generally insufficient in terms of conductivity. As the result, the tape attracts dust and chips peeled from the magnetic layer more by static electricity, which also causes drop out.
Background Art
In the conventional magnetic tape, the back side of a magnetic layer is coated with carbon black and binder (hereinafter, the coated layer is called "back coating layer") in order to improve the performance. This prevents the non-magnetic supporting layer from peeling off and forms what is called "an antistatic layer", both of which help reduce the occurrence of drop out. (Examples are Japanese Patent Kokai (Laid-Open Publication) 111828/82, 3722/84, 38725/85 and 66317/85). (Problems that the invention is going to solve).
Regarding carbon black conventionally used, one with a specific surface area which is too small deteriorates conductivity, reduces Young's modulus of tape due to its heterogeneous dispersion in coating material and produce surface roughness (roughness) on a back coating - layer, which leads to deteriorations of electromagnetic conversion property and running durability and becomes susceptible to drop out. On the other hand, one with a specific surface area which is too large prolongs the time to disperse because it makes dispersion difficult in the coating material. This decreases productivity or produces heterogeneous dispersion which result in a decrease in
Young's modulus, increase in coefficient of friction, etc.
These cause deterioration of running durability and increase occurrences of drop out. In addition, most carbon5 black has high hygroscopicity and a back coating layer made from such carbon affects negatively the hardenability of a film. This in turn adversely affects the quality of the layer and running durability of a tape. Various impurities found in carbon black are also factors which may decrease ' conductivity and then increase drop out. They change various physical properties of back coating composition and subsequently damage quality of a magnetic tape in terms of stability. Conventional technology was not free from many of the problems mentioned above.

The liquid was coated on one side of a polyethylene terephthlate base film which was 14 micrometers in thickness. The coated layer itself was 4 micrometers in thickness after dring. After drying, it was subjected to a calendering process.
Next, the following mixture was mixed and dispersed for four hours with a sand-mill grinder.
Carbon Black (specific surface

Polyurethane resin (B.F. Goodrich,
ESTANE 5707) 100 parts by wt.

This coating material was coated on back side of a base film with thickness of 1 micrometer, on the other side of which a magnetic layer was already produced. After drying, this was cut into 1/2 inch (approximately 1.25 cm.) width and thus a magnetic tape was obtained.
EXAMPLES 2-4 AND COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES 1-6
Except for kind of carbon black used and dispersion time, the same conditions and procedures as required in Example 1 were conducted to prepare samples.
In the following table, production conditions and properties of samples thus obtained are shown.
Each property in the table was measured as follows:
(1) Electromagnetic conversion property i) Video signal to noise ratio (S/N)
Average S/N values (relative value) were obtained when a video signal of standard picture-recording electric current 50 IRE was recorded for five minutes and then reproduced with a notice meter (Shibasoku Type 925) is shown. ii) Chroma S/N
Average S/N value (relative value) obtained when 100% chromasuperimposed monocolor signal by 100% of standard picture-recording electric current 50 IRE was recorded for five minutes and then reproduced with a notice meter (Shibasoku Type 925) is shown.
(2) Drop out property i) Drop out 10 microseconds , 15 dB
Average count of samples out of 10 per minute, which took 10 microseconds or more to lower signal by 15 dB or more from average reproduction level when color bar was recorded and reproduced at 23°C. and under 60%RH with a VHS deck (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., 8200) is shown, ii) Drop out 5 microseconds, 12 dB

(3) Running durability i) Tension
Tension of head drum out of a VHS deck (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., 8200 measured at the 1st and 200th of reproduction is shown.
ii) Probability of edge damage at the 200th of reproduction.
The ratio of occurrences of edge damage of video tapes out of 12 samples measured at the 200th of reproduction is shown in percentage.
In the above table, the bigger values in Video
S/N and Chroma S/N correspond to the better properties, while the smaller values in drop out property, tension and probability of edge damage at the 200th reproduction correspond to the better properties. Regarding tension, low values after repeated reproduction particularly indicates excellent running durability. Therefore, it is only a magnetic recording medium of this invention that is excellent in every property and possesses remarkably good properties as a whole.
In addition, dispersion time is relatively short and various properties are superior.
As mentioned above, the magnetic recording media of this invention reduces drop out owing to the proper selection of carbon black of a back coating layer, keeping electromagnetic conversion property equal to that of conventional tapes, which makes running durability improved. This invention provides high performance magnetic recording media due to such effects, which could be easily applied favorably in various fields, such as an audio, video, computer and magnetic tapes, etc. On the other hand, given carbon black selected decreases difficulties in preparation of homogeneous dispersion liquid of back coating material, by which control of production became easier. Therefore, this invention is practically and economically significant from various aspects mentioned above.
