Magnetic recording medium

摘要

A magnetic recording medium comprised of a non-magnetic substrate and a magnetic layer formed on one surface of the substrate and consisting essentially of a binder and magnetic powders. As the binder, a thermoplastic polyurethane-urea resin is employed, in which hydrophilic polar groups are introduced. The thermoplastic polyurethane-urea resin contains urethane and urea bonds in the molecule thereof and may be synthesized from a long-chain diol with a molecular weight of about 500 to 5000, a short-chain diol with a molecular weight of about 50 to 500, an organic diisocyanate and an organic diamine. Examples of the thus introduced hydrophilic polar groups are:
