Magnetic tape and method for producing the same
A magnetic tape produced by cutting a magnetic sheet with a wide breadth into a tape having a predetermined width using a cutting device, in which the magnetic sheet has a magnetic layer containing magnetic powder and a hinder formed on one surface of a non-magnetic substrate having a thickness of 4 μm or less, and a center line average height (Ra) along a roughness curve of a cut edge of the magnetic tape is from 0.08 to 0.25 μm.
1. A magnetic tape having an entire thickness of from 2 μm to 8 μm produced by cutting a magnetic sheet with a wide breadth into a tape with a predetermined width using a cutting device, wherein the magnetic sheet comprises a magnetic layer with a thickness of 10 to 300 nm containing magnetic powder and a binder formed on one surface of a non-magnetic substrate, and a primer layer comprising inorganic powder and a binder having a thickness of 0.1 μm to 3.0 μm between said magnetic layer and said non-magnetic substrate, and wherein a center line average height (Ra) along a roughness curve of a cut edge of the magnetic tape in a thickness direction is from 0.09 to 0.23 μm.
2. The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein the center line average height (Ra) along a roughness curve of a cut edge of the magnetic tape in a thickness direction is from 0.09 to 0.12 μm.
3. The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein said binder of said primer layer contains an electron radiation curing resin.
4. The magnetic tape according to claim 1 , wherein a friction coefficient between a cut edge of the magnetic tape and a flange portion of a guide roller is from 0.18 to 0.31.
