Abstract
A magnetic recording medium composed of a non-magnetic base film and a magnetic recording layer containing a binder resin, magnetic particles, and as a filler black composite hematite particles having an average diameter of 0.08 to 1.0 &mgr;m. The composite particles have cores of hematite particles which are surface coated with an organosilicon compound. A carbon black coating is formed on the organosilicon coating layer. In addition, the hematite core particles may have an oxide or hydroxide coating layer formed on the surface of the hematite core particle, between the organosilicon coating layer and the surface of the core particles. The magnetic recording medium has not only an excellent durability and a good electromagnetic performance, but also a low light transmittance, a small surface resistivity and an excellent surface smoothness.
