Abstract

A biaxially oriented polyester film for a magnetic recording medium contains: 1) at least two different sizes of synthetic calcium carbonate particles; and 2) aluminum oxide particles to produce a film with excellent surface uniformity, running properties, and slittability wherein the film generates few scratches and low amounts of abrasion dust. The synthetic calcium carbonate particles are surface treated with a polycarboxylic acid, followed by treatment with a phosphorus compound. The biaxially oriented polyester film can comprise a layer in a multilayer film.
