  • Patent number: 5151333
    Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer composed mainly of a ferromagnetic powder and a binder, which is formed on one surface of the support, and an optional backcoat layer composed mainly of a non-magnetic powder and a binder, which is formed on the other surface of the support. At least one of the magnetic layer and the backcoat layer contains a compound having at least one >C.dbd.N.sup..sym. < bond in the molecule. When preparing the magnetic recording medium, the magnetic powder or non-magnetic powder may be surface-treated with the >C.dbd.N.sup..sym. < group-containing compound.

  • Patent number: 5118371
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for producing laminated glass wherein a film-forming plastisol is coated on a surface of a first glass plate to form a layer of the plastisol so that the thickness of the layer may monotonically vary; a second glass plate which has been heated at least at its peripheral portions is brought in contact with the layer of the plastisol first at a portion where the layer is the thickest and thereafter at portions where the layer is thinner, thereby gradually laminating the glass plates to each other while causing the plastisol to lose its fluidity at portions where is comes in contact with the heated second glass plate; and the laminated glass plates is heated under pressure so that the plastisol gelates. The process and apparatus are productive of laminated glass of high quality in high productivity.

  • Patent number: 5064730
    Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer comprising a vinyl chloride copolymer as a binder and a magnetic powder and formed on a non-magnetic support. The vinyl chloride copolymer contains a hydroxyl group and a quaternary ammonium salt, wherein the hydroxyl group is derived from a monoallyl or monomethallyl ether of a polyhydroxyl compound, or a monoallyl or monomethallyl thioether of a polyhydroxyl compound. The vinyl chloride copolymer may further contain a hydrophilic group derived from at least one monomer which is selected from carboxylic acids, sulfur-containing acids, phosphorus-containing acids and salts thereof.
