Abstract

A magnetic disc medium comprising: a magnetic sheet in the form of a disk; a case encasing the magnetic sheet so as to be capable of rotating; and a nonwoven liner fastened on an inner face of the case so as to face the magnetic sheet, wherein the magnetic sheet comprises a support, a substantially nonmagnetic lower layer, and a magnetic layer containing hexagonal ferrite powder dispersed in a binder and having central plane average surface roughness of from 1 nm to 4 nm, and the liner comprises polyethylene terephthalate in an amount of 20% by weight or more.

Claims (18)

1. A magnetic disc medium comprising:

a magnetic sheet in the form of a disk;

a case encasing the magnetic sheet so as to be capable of rotating; and

a nonwoven liner fastened on an inner face of the case so as to face the magnetic sheet,

wherein the magnetic sheet comprises a support, a substantially nonmagnetic lower layer, and a magnetic layer containing hexagonal ferrite powder dispersed in a binder and having central plane average surface roughness of from 1 nm to 4 nm, and the liner comprises polyethylene terephthalate in an amount of 20% by weight or more.

2. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the liner comprises polyethylene terephthalate in an amount of 50% by weight.

3. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer has central plane average surface roughness of from 1 nm to 3 nm.

4. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer has central plane average surface roughness of from 1 nm to 2 nm.

5. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the magnetic layer has 100 or less of projections having a height of 20 nm or more measured by AFM at an area of 30 μm square.

6. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the lower layer comprises a carbon black.

7. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 6 , wherein the carbon black has a particle size of from 5 to 80 nm.

8. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 6 , wherein the carbon black has a particle size of from 10 to 50 nm.

9. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 6 , wherein the carbon black has a particle size of from 10 to 40 nm.

10. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer comprises a carbon black.

11. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 10 , wherein the carbon black has a particle size of from 5 to 300 mμ.

12. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the lower layer comprises a metallic oxide, a metallic carbonate, a metallic sulfate, a metallic nitride, a metallic carbide or a metallic sulfide.

13. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the lower layer comprises a titanium dioxide, a zinc oxide, an iron oxide or a barium sulfate.

14. The magnetic disc medium according to claim 1 , wherein the lower layer comprises a titanium dioxide or an alpha-iron oxide.
