Magnetic recording medium comprising ferromagnetic powder and a specified polyurethane resin

摘要

In a binder for a magnetic recording medium for forming a magnetic layer with ferromagnetic powder dispersed therein being arranged on a non-magnetic support member, whereby said binder consists of a polyurethane resin, which is a reaction product of diol and organic diisocyanate as principal materials, said polyurethane resin contains a short-chain diol having cyclic structure by 17 to 40 weight %, and said polyurethane resin contains a long-chain diol comprising 1.0 to 5.0 mmol/g of ether group to total urethane resin by 10 to 50 weight %. According to a binder for a magnetic recording medium and a magnetic recording medium using said binder of the present invention, good dispersion property, high running durability and preservation property can be obtained.
