Abstract
A magnetic recording medium is described, which comprises a nonmagnetic support having on at least one side thereof a lower layer and an upper layer, in which the upper layer is a magnetic layer mainly comprising ferromagnetic particles and a binder resin, and the lower layer is adjacent to the magnetic layer and is either a magnetic layer mainly comprising ferromagnetic particles and a binder resin or a nonmagnetic layer mainly comprising nonmagnetic particles and a binder resin, wherein the upper layer has a thickness of from 0.05 to less than 1.0 .mu.m the lower layer has a thickness of from 1 to 5 .mu.m and contains unsaturated alkyl carbonate having from 17 to 45 total carbon atoms represented by the following formula in an amount of from 1.8 to 100% by weight based on the amount of the binder resin: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and each represents a chain hydrocarbon group having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 contains one or more unsaturated bonds; and 60 to 100% by weight of the ferromagnetic particles and nonmagnetic particles contained in the lower layer, in the case where the lower layer is a magnetic layer, has a specific surface area of from 1 to 150 m.sup.2 /g; or 60 to 100% by weight of the nonmagnetic particles contained in the lower layer, in the case where the lower layer is a nonmagnetic layer, has a specific surface area of from 1 to 150 m.sup.2 /g.
