Abstract
A lubricant contains ester compound made of perfluoropolyether and long chain alkyl carboxylic acid or alcohol. The perfluoropolyether has hydroxyl or carboxyl group at its end. The ester compound is admixed with long chain alkyl amine of from 0.01 to 100 in mole ratio. The long chain alkyl may be partially fluorined or perfluoro alkyl. At least one of phosphoric ester, phosphorous ester and long chain carboxylate ester can be further admixed. A magnetic recording medium can be coated by the lubricant.
