  • Patent number: 5968658
    Abstract: Magnetic recording media contain a nonmagnetic substrate and a magnetizable layer, the magnetizable layer containing ferromagnetic pigments and a system of polymeric materials, wherein the system of polymeric materials containsa) from 3 to 35% by weight of a polymer containing ionic or ionogenic groupsb) from 5 to 97% by weight of a polymer XIV which contains basic groups, and has a molecular weight of from 30000 to 2000000.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 1997
    Date of Patent: October 19, 1999
    Assignee: EMTEC Magnetics GmbH
    Inventors: Ria Kress, Albert Kohl, August Lehner, Werner Lenz, Michael Hitzfeld
  • Patent number: 5763074
    Abstract: The heat sealing film and a magnetic transfer strip contain an adhesive layer comprising thermoplastic, immiscible binder components. One component is spherical, amorphous and embedded in finely distributed form in a homogeneous layer of the other, highly crystalline components in such a way that the spherical component protrudes hemispherically from the layer. The spherical binder is a glassy solid up to at least 60.degree. C. and above 80.degree. C. is plastically deformable. The hemispheres protruding from the adhesive layer produce a uniform, fine roughness of the surface. Both heat sealing film and magnetic transfer strip are nonblocking up to at least 60.degree. C. and heat-sealable at temperatures greater than 80.degree. C. The adhesive layer imparts to a magnetic recording medium a uniform thickness of the adhesive joint and a permanent, temperature-resistant adhesive force.
