Patent attributes
A magnetic tape includes a non-magnetic support; a non-magnetic layer including non-magnetic powder and a binding agent on the non-magnetic support; and a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder and a binding agent on the non-magnetic layer. The total thickness of the non-magnetic layer and the magnetic layer is less than or equal to 0.60 μm. The magnetic layer includes an abrasive, and the percentage of a plan view maximum area of the abrasive confirmed in a region having a size of 4.3 μm×6.3 μm of the surface of the magnetic layer with respect to the total area of the region, obtained by plane observation performed by using a scanning electron microscope, is greater than or equal to 0.02% and less than 0.06%. Also, the logarithmic decrement acquired by a pendulum viscoelasticity test performed regarding the surface of the magnetic layer is less than or equal to 0.050.
