Abstract

A coextruded, biaxially draw-oriented, multi-layer polyester film as a base film for magnetic tape is described, whose characteristics are that the total thickness of the multi-layer film is no more than 10 .mu.m, the surface roughness of the base film on the side intended for the application of an information-carrying coating has an R.sub.a value (DIN 4768) of less than or equal to 0.010 .mu.m and the surface roughness of the opposite side of the base film which is not intended for application of an information-carrying coating, has an R.sub.a value of greater than 0.010 .mu.m and that the film has an E-modulus in the machine direction of greater than or equal to 6500 N/mm.sup.2.
