An inorganic filler-containing epoxy resin cured product contains a magnesium oxide powder and has a maximum thermogravimetric mass loss rate &#x394;Rof &#x2212;0.20 mass percent/&#xb0; C. or more within a temperature range of 300&#xb0; C. to 500&#xb0; C. The filling factor of the magnesium oxide powder in the inorganic filler-containing epoxy resin cured product is 45% to 63% by volume.

A magnetic paint is extrusion coated to a length of splice jointed webs through a coating head by continuously feeding the length of webs across the head. When a splice joint passes across the head, the head is moved apart from the web before passage and contacted with the web after passage. Objectionable coating portions which are formed as a result of moving the head out of and into contact with the web are scraped off by a scraping roll downstream of the head.

Extrusion coating method

A coating method and coating apparatus capable of providing a coated film of improved surface properties free from any streak and color shading and facilitating coating on a sheet of an increased width without causing enlargement of the apparatus and thus complicating its structure. A swirling motion imparting mechanism and an orifice are arranged at a connection between a liquid feed pipe and a coater. Swirling motion is imparted to coating liquid discharged from a pump and then a flow velocity of the coating liquid is immediately increased to a level as high as 200 cm/s or more, the liquid then being fed into a pocket of the coater within 0.1 second or less. This permits shearing to act on the coating liquid, to thereby effectively prevent a variation in viscosity of the coating liquid and flocculation thereof, so that the coated film may be improved in surface properties.

An extrusion coating head which is disposed between a drier for performing a non-contact drying operation and a support roll located at the upstream side of and nearest to the drier is designed so that a back edge surface thereof is designed to have an round surface having a radius of curvature R which satisfies the following inequality: 3 mm.ltoreq.R.ltoreq.30 mm, and the entire R-surface portion of the back edge of the coating head is located at a position higher than a tangential line drawn to the front edge surface at a slit-side edge point of the front edge so as to project toward the web side. The running web is coated with the coating liquid by the extrusion-type coating head, and then dried through a non-contact drying process.

In a coating method of extruding a coating liquid through a slit of an extrusion-type coating head to coat a running web, at a starting or restarting of the coating, the coating liquid is extruded through the slit of the coating head while the coating head is away from the web, and then the coating is started while a slightly large clearance is kept between the coating head and the web at the upstream side of the coating head, thereafter changing the coating state or arrangement to a steady coating state. Therefore, occurrence of a thicker portion of the coating film on the web at the start of the coating can be prevented. Further, at the end or interruption of the coating, the coating state or arrangement of the coating head is changed from the steady coating state to a state wherein a slightly large clearance is kept between the coating head and the web at the upstream side, and the coating head is moved away from the web to end the coating. Therefore, occurrence of a thicker portion of the coating film on the web at the end of the coating can be prevented. With this arrangement, at the start, restart, end and interruption of the coating, a uniformly coated film can be also formed on one surface of the web whose other surface has already been coated with a coating liquid.

Coating method

In a magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing a magnetic powder, 5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the magnetic powder of a non-magnetic abrasive having a Mohs hardness of at least 6, and a binder on a non-magnetic substrate, the magnetic layer becomes more durable while maintaining electromagnetic properties by distributing the abrasive in the magnetic layer such that its concentration is highest in a surface-adjoining portion and continuously decreases therefrom toward the substrate side. The medium is prepared by applying a magnetic coating to a substrate and continuously passing the coated substrate through reversing magnetic fields prior to curing of the coating.
