An anti-fungus agent is added to the recording medium. The added anti-fungus agent is a compound (I) in an amount of 0.005 to 5.0% by weight of the magnetic coating layer: ##STR1## where R stands for C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 straight or branched alkyl, cyclohexyl or, ##STR2## n is an integer of 1 or 2, and X stands for H, CH.sub.3, Cl, Br or I.

Abstract: Benzil-di[.beta.-(di-.beta.-methallylisocyanuryl)ethyl]ketal of the following structural formula: ##STR1## and other novel benzil ketal derivatives. The novel benzil ketal derivatives are characterized by having a structure in which an isocyanuryl-containing group is bonded to each of the two oxygen atoms of ketal. Because these compounds have a high decomposition or sublimation temperature and ability to initiate photopolymerization, they are useful as photopolymerization initiators in the production of photopolymerizable shaped articles from a molten blend of a photopolymerizable thermoplastic polymer composition.

Abstract: Benzil-di-(.beta.-succinimidoethyl)ketal of the following structural formula ##STR1## and novel benzil ketal derivatives thereof. The novel benzil ketal derivatives are characterized by having a structure in which a 5- or 6-membered cyclic imidecontaining group is bonded to each of the two oxygen atoms of ketal. Because these compounds have a high decomposition or sublimation temperature and the ability to initiate photopolymerization, they are useful as photopolymerization initiators in the production of photopolymerizable shaped articles from a molten blend of a photopolymerizable thermoplastic polymer composition.

Abstract: An improved support comprising (A) a base plate and (B) an adhesive layer formed on the surface of the base plate is provided for making a printing plate from a liquid photosensitive resin. The improvement resides in the inclusion of a tertiary phosphite or tertiary phosphine in the adhesive layer. The improved adhesive layer acts to give reliefs of a good shoulder shape, and this action can be retained over long periods of time.In an alternative embodiment, an activating layer (C) containing a tertiary phosphite or tertiary phosphine is formed on the adhesive layer.

Abstract: The invention involves a novel melamine group-containing (meth)acrylate, e.g. hexakis(2-acryloyloxypropyl)melamine, hexakis(2-acryloyloxyethyl)melamine, etc., and its polymer. Said (meth)acrylate has excellent reactivity and storage stability, and said polymer has excellent dimensional stability, durabilities (especially water resistance and moisture resistance) and surface hardness, and is useful as a molded product and a coating layer of a molded resin article. For example, a polyester film coated with said polymer has excellent adhesivity, flexibility and dimensional stability as well as high abrasion resistance, and can be used to a wide variety of uses as an abrasion resistant film.

Abstract: A support convenient for preparing a printing plate in situ using a liquid photosensitive resin of an unsaturated polyurethane resin is disclosed. This support consists of a base plate and coated thereon a layer of a composition consisting of a mercapto-containing ester obtained by polycondensing a thiocarboxylic acid or thioalcohol with a polyglycol or polycarboxylic acid or an aromatic tertiary amine and a polymer binder. The support of this invention, which has a broadened base of a sectionally trapezoidal configuration, provides a relief image that is firmly adhered to the support.
