  • Patent number: 5607772
    Abstract: A binder for coating materials containing dispersed inorganic powder comprises a polyurethane resin containing (a) 2.2 to 7.0 terminal epoxy groups in one molecule in average and (b) 0.1 to 5.0% by weight as SO.sub.3 -- of a sulfonic acid salt group, 0.05 to 3.0% by weight as COO-- of a carboxylic acid salt group, or 0.02 to 1.0% by weight as N.sup.+ of a quaternary ammonium salt group in the molecule, and having a number-average molecular weight of 2,000 to 10,000. A coating material containing dispersed inorganic powder and a magnetic recording medium both use this binder. In a recording medium comprising a magnetic layer placed on a non-magnetic substrate, the magnetic layer comprises polyurethane resin (A) as a binder, vinyl chloride polymer (B) containing 0.

  • Patent number: 5320914
    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic support on which is coated a magnetic layer. The magnetic layer contains a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder. The binder comprises a styrene copolymer or an acrylic copolymer, respectively containing both of (i) an epoxy group and (ii) at least one hydrophillic group, such as a strong salt group or a tertiary ammonium salt group. The magnetic recording medium exhibits excellent recording density and S/N ratio, causes no environmental pollution, because of the absence of generation of hydrochloric acid on incineration of the magnetic recording medium for disposal after use. The magnetic recording medium is favorably utilized for magnetic tapes, magnetic sheets, magnetic discs and like products.
