Magnetic recording medium comprising two magnetic layers each layer comprising ferromagnetic powder, binder, a branched and unbranched silicone, with carbon black in the upper layer

摘要

A magnetic recording medium comprising a nonmagnetic support and at least two magnetic layers on the support, each magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder, wherein the lower magnetic layer comprises at least one layer containing a branched fatty acid-modified silicone, but not carbon black, and the upper magnetic layer comprises at least one layer containing a branched fatty acid-modified silicone and carbon black having a DBP absorption oil amount of 100 to 250 ml/100 g. The magnetic recording medium has improved lubricating characteristics.
