摘要 |
A concentrated fine solid particle dispersion useful for forming a substantially photographically transparent magnetic recording layer is disclosed, comprising an organic solvent medium containing a dispersing agent and dispersed magnetic particles, wherein the magnetic particles are present at a concentration of at least 25% by weight and the organic solvent medium is comprised primarily of organic solvent selected from dimethyl succinate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl adipate. This invention provides a stable concentrated dispersion of magnetic particles useful for preparing substantially photographically transparent magnetic recording layers. A film-forming binder solution can be added to dilute the concentrated dispersion, which then can be applied to a support to form a transparent magnetic layer for a magnetic recording element. This invention also provides a photographic element which contains a magnetic recording layer which has excellent magnetic characteristics and which is substantially photographically transparent by virtue of its low granularity and optical density.
