Abstract
High density information records comprising a conductive carbon-loaded polyvinylchloride record are lubricated with a fractionated methylalkylsiloxane lubricant which contains an hydroxylated amine and or its quaternary salt in an amount sufficient to reduce sensitivity of the records to moisture.
Claims5
In a high density information record adapted for use with a playback stylus to effect recovery of signals occupying a bandwidth of at least several megahertz when relative motion at a desired rate is established between said record and said stylus, said record comprising a disc of a conductive material containing an information track constituted by a surface relief pattern in said track to accommodate recovery of signals of said bandwidth upon establishment of relative motion at said rate, said record coated wtih a methylalkylsiloxane lubricant having the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are alkyl groups of 4-20 carbon atoms, x is an integer of 2-4, y is an integer of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x plus y is 4 or less, the improvement which comprises adding to said lubricant an hydroxylated amine compound of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or hydroxyalkyl;
- R.sub.4 is R.sub.6 A wherein R.sub.6 is an alkyl group of 1-5 carbon atoms and A is hydroxyl or carboxyl;
- R.sub.5 can be R.sub.7 A wherein R.sub.7 is a straight chain alkyl group of 1-10 carbon atoms and A has the meaning given above or can be R.sub.7 A-B-R.sub.8 wherein R.sub.7 and A have the meanings given above, B is a linking group which can be --O-- or --C.dbd.C-- and R.sub.8 is an alkyl group of from about 6-25 carbon atoms.
