Abstract
A magnetic recording medium comprising a flexible support, a lower non-magnetic layer comprising a non-magnetic powder and a binder formed on the flexible support, and an upper magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder and a binder formed on the lower non-magnetic layer, wherein the upper magnetic layer has a SFD value of 0.5 or less, the magnetic powder contained in the upper magnetic layer has an average major axis length of 80 nm or less, and a SFD value of the upper magnetic layer is 1.2 times or less the initial SFD value after the magnetic recording medium is stored at a temperature of 60° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH for 90 days.

A method for producing a magnetic recording medium comprising a flexible support, a lower non-magnetic layer and an upper magnetic layer, said method comprising the steps of:
- supplying a flexible support,
- forming a lower non-magnetic layer which comprises a non-magnetic powder and a binder on said flexible support, and
- forming an upper magnetic layer which comprises a magnetic powder, a binder and an anticorrosive agent on said lower non-magnetic layer by applying a magnetic paint for an upper magnetic layer on said lower non-magnetic layer, said upper magnetic layer having a SFD value of 0.5 or less, the magnetic powder contained in the upper magnetic layer having an average major axis length of 80 nm or less, and a SFD value of the upper magnetic layer being 1.2 times or less the initial SFD value after storing the magnetic recording medium at a temperature of 60° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH for 90 days,
- wherein said magnetic paint for the upper magnetic layer is prepared by adding the anticorrosive agent to said magnetic layer after kneading remaining components of the upper magnetic layer.
