Abstract

A magnetic recording medium which comprises a non-magnetic support having on the surface side thereof a magnetic recording layer and on the opposite side thereof a backing layer having a thickness of 2 .mu.m or less, which contains carbon black and a binder and optionally, an inorganic powder, in which the backing layer contains at least two kinds of carbon black, one being fine-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 10 to 30 m.mu. and the other being coarse-grained carbon black having a mean grain size of 150 to 500 m.mu. such that the weight ratio (P/B) of the total amount of carbon black and inorganic powder (P) to binder (B) is from about 1/0.5 to 1/3.5. The recording medium described provided smooth and stable tape-running for an extended period and a high S/N ratio.
