  • Patent number: 4436786
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium is provided which has smooth and stable running performances and is free of "squeal" phenomenon, especially in an environment of high temperature and high humidity. A highly viscous silicone oil having a viscosity of 100,000 centistokes or more is incorporated in combination with a higher fatty having a melting point of 44.degree. C. or more into a magnetic coating layer of the magnetic recording medium. Such silicone oil is represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is CH.sub.3, R' is CH.sub.3, C.sub.6 H.sub.5 or F and n is a number which determines a viscosity thereof. Such higher fatty acid is selected from lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachic acid, behenic acid and the like.
