Magnetic recording medium

Abstract

The invention provides a magnetic recording medium having a structure in which a magnetic layer containing magnetic particles and a binder is formed on a nonmagnetic layer containing nonmagnetic particles and a binder, wherein the binder contained in the nonmagnetic layer contains a polyurethane resin having 50 to 100 eq/t of metal phosphate groups and 800 to 1600 eq/t of unsaturated hydrocarbon groups in its molecule and obtained by reacting a polyester polyol (A) containing an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid as an acid component, an aromatic polyisocyanate compound (B) and a compound (C) having unsaturated hydrocarbon groups and a functional group which reacts with an isocyanate group and a molecular weight of 500 or less, and the nonmagnetic layer has good dispersibility even by using fine nonmagnetic particles and can ensure satisfactory coating film strength even at a radiation dose of 3 Mrad or less.
